  • Lynton Site Visit
    Paddlesteamers, Postcards and Holidays Past SITE VISIT – LYNTON The Valley of Rocks Hotel was built in 1807 by Lynton businessman William Litson. It was as elaborately decorative inside as it was outside. Litson had made a fortune through buying Exmoor wool and having it spun locally before selling it to weavers in Barnstaple. By the 1790s, however, the the spinning trade had been mechanised, and it was no longer a profitable enterprise for Litson. Diversifying, he built the Globe Inn as a hotel, and furnished the adjoining cottages for visitors. The Valley of Rocks Hotel followed. Litson's guests included the Marchioness of Bute, and Mr Coutts the banker. It also boasted landscaped gardens with a fine view of the Bristol Channel – the perfect place for Victorian visitors to promenade in the healthy sea air. At the start of the nineteenth century, access to Lynton was not easy. An 1825 Guide to All the Watering and Sea Bathing Places said: "A few years ago this place [Lynton & Lynmouth] was known only as a fishing creek: the roads to it were impassable and the only place of public accommodation was a miserable ale house." HOTEL WARS All that changed when William Sanford of Somerset's Nynehead Court built himself a summer residence at Lynton and set about improving the roads. By 1830, too, the first steamer carrying passengers up and down the Bristol Channel was stopping off at Lynmouth and rowing visitors ashore. Suddenly Lynton and Lynmouth were very fashionable places to visit, and local businessmen were keen to keep it that way.

  • Geographies of Ageing and Disaster: Older People’S Experiences of Post- Disaster Recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand
    Geographies of ageing and disaster: older people’s experiences of post- disaster recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand Submitted by Sarah Tupper to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography In April 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract It was 12:51pm on Tuesday the 22nd of February when a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand’s South Island. This earthquake devastatingly took the lives of 185 people and caused widespread damage across Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Since the February earthquake there has been 15,832 quakes in the Canterbury region. The impact of the earthquakes has resulted in ongoing social, material and political change which has shaped how everyday life is experienced. While the Christchurch earthquakes have been investigated in relation to a number of different angles and agendas, to date there has been a notable absence on how older people in Christchurch are experiencing post-disaster recovery. This PhD research attends to this omission and by drawing upon geographical scholarship on disasters and ageing to better understand the everyday experiences of post-disaster recovery for older people. This thesis identifies a lack of geographical attention to the emotional, affective and embodied experience of disaster.

  • Lynmouth Floods 15 August 1952
    Friday 15 August 1952 (Lynmouth Floods) Weather chart for 1200 UTC on 15 August 1952 General summary During the morning, the area of rain in Cornwall moved northeastwards to affect other parts of SW England and South Wales. Elsewhere, except for one or two showers across southern England, it was a largely dry but rather cloudy morning. The afternoon saw the rain continuing across SW England and South Wales, turning increasingly heavy and thundery. Rain also broke out across other counties of southern England. For the rest of the UK, away from northern Scotland, it was a cloudy afternoon and apart from the odd isolated patch of drizzle in northwest England, it was dry. Northern Scotland was mainly sunny and dry. Winds were generally light and from the east or northeast. Temperatures were about or slightly below normal but warm across East Anglia. Significant weather event Continuous rain began on the Isles of Scilly and at Culdrose (Cornwall) during the early hours and spread to all parts of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset by midday. At Chivenor (Devon), the nearest synoptic reporting station to Lynmouth, and at St. Eval, in north Cornwall, the rain was almost incessant for 18 hours or more. At Longstone Barrow on Exmoor, 228.6 mm / 9.00 inches of rain were recorded in 24 hours from 0900 GMT on 15 August. The highest rate of rainfall was estimated to be more than an inch per hour, which occurred between 2030 GMT and 2230 GMT on the 15th.

  • Spring 2010 Newsletter No
    The Exmoor Society The Exmoor Society, Parish Rooms, Dulverton, Somerset TA22 9DP Spring 2010 Newsletter No. 57 Withypool in the Snow 2 CONTENTS Page 4 Chairman’s Notes 5 News Roundup 10 In Brief – From the Parish Rooms 12 Membership News 14 The Moorland Mousie Trust 16 Celebration Woodland at Wimbleball 17 Exmoor Enterprise 18 News from around the Groups 20 Spring Conference 2010 “Energy Exmoor” 22 Update on St Luke’s Church, Simonsbath 23 Poetry Competition 3 CHAIRMAN’S NOTES Writing in this Newsletter surrounded by deep snow, in a supposedly mild winter, brings home acutely the difference between weather and climate and the importance of searching for the right responses to global warming. The topic of climate change and its likely impact on Exmoor and the measures that can be taken to adjust and help mitigate it, will be increasingly aired in the coming years. Indeed, items in this Newsletter – vision for the uplands; a new national park circular; valuing natural and cultural services from the landscape – show the present thinking of public bodies. The emphasis is on peat restoration and carbon sequestration, improving water quality, reducing flooding downstream, providing energy from natural resources and working towards a low carbon economy. While recognition of the contribution of Exmoor’s wetlands is to be welcomed, it is important that the Society looks carefully at the measures being suggested, and that the solutions are proportionate, cost effective, appropriate to the location and achieve the desired outcomes. The Society’s Spring Conference this year will explore the different sources of renewable energy that can be provided from Exmoor’s landscape – solar, hydro, ground source heat, wind and bio-mass.
