The Water-Supply of Peterborough.” by JOHN ADDY,M 146 ADDY ON THE WATER-SUPPLP OF PETERBOROUGH. Winutes of (Pap@ No. 1895.) (( The Water-Supply of Peterborough.” By JOHN ADDY,M. Inst. C.E. PETERBOROUGH,on the Nene, and in the water-shed areas of that river and the Welland, was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1874. Previously to the incorporation, the Improvement Com- missioners, asthe urban authority, urged byfrequent zymotic invasions, by the tooobvious presence of organic impurities in the water, derived from shallow wells, public and private, as the sole source of supply,2 and frequently by long periodsof absolute water-dearth, had been compelled to consider the advisability of providing water from some extraneous and abundant source ; but no active initiatory steps hadbeen taken. The Corporation, however, on its establishment determined to introduce an abundantwater-supply and a new system of drainage simultaneously ; and accordingly, in August of the same year, the Author was instructed to prepare schemes for both purposes. The. The discussion upon this Paper was taken together with that upon the two pl-eceding ones. As an example of Peterborough waters at thistime, take the following:- ANALYSISof WATERfrom TOWNP-, PETEBBOROUGH.JUNEllth, 1873. Expressed in parts per100,000.

Prooeedings.] ADDP ON THE WATER-SUPPLY OF PETERBOROUGH. 147 water scheme described inthis Paper is theresult of these instructions. An exhaustive examination of all the sources available in the neighbourhood of the city revealed but two, the river Nene and the Marlstone rock of the Lias formation, that promised to yield a supply adequate in quantity,while, even of these, the former failed to meet the requirements in point of quality. Thelatter, the Marlstone rock, underlying the sands of the middle Lias, would be reached, it was expected, at a depth of about 150 feet in theneigh- bourhoodof Castor, a village about 5 miles from Peterborough. At Northampton, a well sunk into this bed was supplying 864,000 gallons a day, and geologists expressed the opinion that a similar supply could be acquired near this village by boring. This was, therefore, mentioned in the report to the council as a possible source; butthe Authorfelt it necessary to seek for a larger supply, and one that could be confidently relied on to produce an equivalent to the maximum prospective requirements of the borough. Such a supply existed at Braceborough, and was adopted by the Author, although lying at a distance of 104 miles beyond the municipalboundary. The Corporation accepted the report, but determined to make a trial boring at Castor. This was com- menced in January 1875, and proceeded at an average rate of 1-936 foot per diem, until on June 7th a depth of 286 feet 6 inches had been reached, at a cost of 5338 16s. 6d., when no large quantity of water having been found, the boring was abandoned, andattention given solely to Braceborough asthe source of supply. THEWATER AND ITS SOURCE. The water is found in theOolite formation, in the bed between the Estuarine Clays and the Lincolnshire Oolite Limestone (called locally ‘‘ the water rock ”), the former being the lowest stratum of the Great Oolite, while the latter is the uppermost member of the Inferior Oolite.One of the main branches or tributaries of the River Glen has cut its channel partially through the Estuarine Clays for some miles above Braceborough Spa. This channel may be said to be a groove cutting more and more deeply into theclays, as the river falls in its course, and thus continually approaching the limestone under it, which bears the subterranean waters, until a point is reached where the stratumof Estuarine Clays under the L2 Downloaded by [ UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD] on [12/09/16].

[nhutes of groove, owing to its thinness, or perhaps faulty ” nature, can no longer form an impervious division, or resist the upward force of the imprisoned waters. Thispoint occurs inthe riverabout 2 miles, measured upits course,above Braceborough Spa, and from it tothe latter place theriver is studded withsprings, throwing up water with suchforce as to show distinctly above the surface of the rapidly-flowing stream. These eruptions, appearing at firstsingly, and at widedista.nces apart,gradually reach a climax lower down at the Caudles,” and again at Braceborough Spa, at both which spots the beds of the river, and of streams and pools adjacent, seem to some extent riddled bythe number of vents for these waters. Below the latter outpouring there appear to be no springs of note, and shortly afterwards this tributary joins the Glen, which then enters the alluvial formations of the Fens. The same vein of. water is reached at Bourne by boring to a depth varying from 85 feet to 102 feet, the water at times rising to a height of 40 feet above the average level of the town, and by itsnatural pressuresupplying even theupper stories of most houses there ; but this pressure is subject to considerable fluctua- tions, and at other times fails to supply above the level of the ground floors. Fromthe same townand source, Spalding also takes its supply from a boring 91 feet deep, and thereare, besides, twelveother borings for private uses. In thedistrict directly north from Bourne, and especially in that portion of it immediately skirting the Fen formation, the same vein has been tapped and rendered available by a number of borings, some par- ticulars of which are given in the Appendix. Mention ought also to be made of the noted Well Head ” at Bourne, as a display of this water in the form of natural springs, yielding, when gauged in 1874, at the rate of 4,600,000 gallons in twenty-four hours. At Horbling, too, there is a natural springof some note. The area of this water-bed has not been in any way defined, but it is most probablyconterminous with the particular strata to which it is confined, so far as those strata are continuous. The water, whereverthrown up from this source, is clear, sparkling, palatable, highly charged with carbonic acid gas, and, at times, giving distinct evidence of sulphuretted hydrogen, but thisrapidly passes off. Analyses of the water from this vein, collected from four different points of outflow, natural or artificial, are given below, and, as a series, they present features of some interest.

Dr. Odling { mission (6th Report) The fluctuations of pressure, under which this water appears, have been referred to in the case of the Bourne supply. At the well now supplying Peterborough, when there hasbeen no draught from it, the water-level has varied from 9 feet above the ground- surface, to 8 feet below it, giving a range of 17 feet; while the normalheight may be said to be 4 feet above the surface, or 56 feet above Ordnance Datum. The groundlevels at Peterborough, referred to in the same datum, vary from 15 feet as the lowest, to 50 feet as the highest point, and the mean level of the populated area is 37 * 19 feet ap- proximately. Thus from the minimum water-level, given above, to the lowest level of the city, there is a fall of 29 feet, while to the highest point there is a rise of 6 feet, and to the mean level again a fall of 6 - 8 feet. It should be remarked, however, that the water-levels given above are approximate only,-the results of but limited observation, and it is extremely probable that the level 44, stated as a minimum, will be found, after some years' further registra- tion, to be considerably above the actual minimum.

They are widely recognised as useful tools, helping to aid the planning, design and management of future development in a particular locality. 1.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) recognises the value of local distinctiveness and supports the use of characterisation studies, such as character assessments, to underpin and inform planning policy. Specifically, paragraph 58 of the NPPF states that: ‘Local and neighbourhood plans should develop robust and comprehensive policies that set out the quality of development that will be expected for the area. Such policies should be based on stated objectives for the future of the area and an understanding and evaluation of its defining characteristics. Planning policies and decisions should aim to ensure that developments: respond to local character and history, and reflect the identity of local surroundings and materials, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation’.

  • The Uffington Group of Churches Benefice Profile and Statement Of
    The Bourne Uffington Group of Churches A6121 Benefice Profile A15 and Wilsthorpe Statement of Needs Braceborough A6121 Greatford Market Deeping Barholm West Deeping A1 A1175 Uffington Tallington Stamford A606 Introduction Thank you for taking an interest in the Uffington Group of Churches. If you are reading this to see whether you might be interested in becoming our next Rector, we hope you will find it helpful. If you are reading this for any other reason, we hope you will find this profile interesting, and if you are in the area, or might just be passing through, we hope that you might wish to come and see us. We hope that our new Rector will be able to inspire us in three key areas of our discipleship growth plans: drawing more of our villagers, especially from the missing generations, to respond to the message of the gospel (ie making more Christ-like Christians, as Bishop Edward King might have said); enhancing the faith of current members of our congregations (responding to the need for more Christ-like Christians, as Bishop Edward King did say); ensuring that our seven churches are not only kept open and functioning, but are made more attractive focal points for the lives of our parishioners and communities. We believe that such a person is likely to be: someone who will prayerfully seek to preach, teach and share scriptural truth; willing to grasp the nature of rural ministry; able to preserve the identity of each parish while maintaining coherence of the Group; comfortable with a range of worship and broad expression of faith; able to develop and communicate an inspirational vision for building God’s work amongst all ages in the Group and in each parish; able to lead, cultivate and enthuse teams of volunteers involved in the ministry, administration and upkeep of the seven churches; open, approachable and supportive, and willing to be visible at community events in all the villages; keen to guide and support the Christian ethos of the Uffington Church of England Primary School, being a regular visitor to the school and ex-officio governor.
