Chorley Ramblers Chorley Ramblers Non members are welcome to three free walks after which we invite them to join The Ramblers Association NOTE Rambling, in common with many leisure activities, contains inherent hazards. The safety of members is always of paramount concern, but accidents will occasionally occur. It is important that each member appreciates that they have a personal responsibility to identify associated hazards and to take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimize the potential for an accident to arise.

  • (X0.95) As "Modern," Both Val- Ues Treated As Constants, with AD 1950 As the Reference Year
    [RADIOCARBON, VOL 29, No. 1, 1987, P 78-99] HARWELL RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS V A J WALKER, R S KEYZOR*, and R L OTLET Isotope Measurements Laboratory, Nuclear Applications Centre, Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, Oxfordshire, OXl l ORA, UK INTRODUCTION The results presented in this list include some recently measured sam- ples (1984) but mostly ones from our earlier years of operation which had not been previously published in RADIOCARBON. It is the first of a number of special lists prepared over the last year so that the backlog of unpub- lished dates of this laboratory will be cleared. The samples are all archaeo- logic from the United Kingdom most of which have originated from "res- cue"-type excavations. As in previous lists, all samples were measured by liquid scintillation counting (Otlet & Warchal,1978), and the error term quoted is the 10r stan- dard deviation estimate of the full replicate sample reproducibility (Otlet, 1979). The list was produced semi-automatically from the Harwell data base stored on the main frame computer using the procedures described in Otlet and Walker (1983). Calculations are based on the Libby half-life of 5568 years, using NBS oxalic acid standard (x0.95) as "modern," both val- ues treated as constants, with AD 1950 as the reference year. All results are corrected for fractionation according to the quoted b13C (wrt PDB) values measured in this laboratory. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to acknowledge the work of our colleagues, G A Bradburn and D G Humphreys, with the laboratory measurements and of E F Westall, S E Hasler, and M Gibson with the preparation of the data in computer readable form.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

  • (Public Pack)Agenda Document for Chorley Liaison, 16/10/2019 18:30
    CHORLEY LIAISON WEDNESDAY, 16TH OCTOBER 2019, 6.30 PM COUNCIL CHAMBER, TOWN HALL, CHORLEY AGENDA APOLOGIES 1 MINUTES OF MEETING WEDNESDAY, 17 JULY 2019 OF CHORLEY (Pages 5 - 8) LIAISON 2 WELCOME BY THE CHAIR 3 ITEM REQUESTED AT THE LAST MEETING: PLANNING ISSUES Adele Hayes (Service Lead – Planning) will attend the meeting to give a short presentation on Planning issues and take any questions. 4 ITEM REQUESTED BY ANGLEZARKE 1. We appear to have an issue with Knotweed near to Anglezarke reservoir and car park. Is there anything we can do about this? Response from the Open Space Strategy Officer: The knotweed would be for the landowner to treat or the members of the parish council once they have the training with the permission of the landowner. Two people from Rivington PC are booked on the upcoming course. 2. Additionally, there is a big issue with anti-social behaviour, dangerous driving and apparent drink/drug taking at viewpoint. The residents living near to viewpoint have expressed particular concern over the speed of the drivers on the country road. Ideas suggested include: Could we put up CCTV & would this be sufficient evidence for prosecution? Could we request an occasional police presence to discourage them? Response from Public Protection: The Councils’ powers are not appropriate for dangerous driving and drug taking, these are direct offences which the Police powers are more appropriate. We do not have the power to identify offenders, we would reply on intel of partners such as the police or members of the public to identify in order for us to consider any appropriate action.

  • Newsletter 155 Colour for E-Neslwetter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

  • Dofe Bronze Qualifying Expedition Instructions
    Qualifying Expedition West Pennine Moors Tuesday/Wednesday 11th/12th June We will leave school at 9.00 a.m. and travel by coach, dropping off at the two start points. We will have 7 groups walking one way and 7 groups the other, meeting up at the campsite. We will pick up at the two end points and return to school by coach. I hope we will be back at school for 5.30. Your route should be 24 km over the two days. The assessor will not accept it if it is much shorter than this. Place Grid ref. Start time End time Rivington Lodge car park 636127 11.00 3.00 Causeway House Farm camp site 610193 Sunnyhurst Wood visitor centre 678230 10.30 3.30 You should have at least 3 other checkpoints on each day and not much more than 1 hour between checkpoints. Make sure that you have a checkpoint at any hazard you identify on your route. You MUST have a checkpoint where you cross the A675 because this is a very fast and dangerous road. You must not use the paths that run alongside the M61. Try to keep on the East side of the reservoirs or the paths that run close to the west side. You should not be walking along roads apart from unavoidable short stretches to connect two footpaths. The presentation of your route cards must be good and you must have clear, detailed route descriptions. This is an area with plenty of historical interest as well as natural beauty, the terraced gardens are excellent.

  • Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities first edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Bill Oddie OBE This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Lancashire’s countryside has much to offer; from the gritstone fells of the Forest of Bowland to the sand dunes of the Sefton Coast. There are some great opportunities to view wildlife too, including red squirrels and hen harriers. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. Published in Summer 2014 Using the Directory Throughout the Directory you will see some symbols. These are to help you see what kind of facilities or information is available.
