The proposed development comprises of the demolition and site clearance of buildings on the Garth Works Industrial Estate and construction of the Taffs Well Depot as indicated on the masterplan (see Drawings 367590-28I-XX-DR-C-0002 and 0003). The proposed development area is situated principally at the site of the Garth Iron Works, which operated from the late 19th century until the late 20th century. The large complex comprised of a number of buildings and warehouses, with only a railway building and row of terraced buildings surviving today. The proposed development area is intersected by the existing Core Valley Line (CVL), as well as being bordered by the dismantled Cardiff rail line to the east and Rhymney rail line to the west. The proposed development area is also bordered by the infilled Glamorganshire Canal to the east and a row of grade II listed workmen’s cottages are situated approximately 30m west of the proposed development area. This heritage statement has identified the key heritage assets which have the most potential to be impacted by the proposed development. Within the proposed development area, these comprise of; ● Mid-19th century railway building and terraced buildings from the Garth Iron Works (undesignated). Within the surrounding study area, the key heritage assets comprise of: ● 1-11 Alfred’s Terrace (grade II listed); ● Existing CVL (undesignated); ● Dismantled Rhymney and Cardiff rail lines (undesignated); and ● Glamorganshire Canal (undesignated). This heritage statement has found that the railway building and row of terraced buildings within the proposed development area have lost their historical connection from the Garth Iron Works which has diminished the historical and communal value they provide. Due to the low value of the heritage assets the weight given to their preservation in terms of planning policy requirements is considered to be low. The grade II listed workmen’s cottages on Alfred’s Terrace are currently screened from the proposed development area by vegetation. Mitigation will be achieved through the design of the new builds within the proposed development area, which extend to a lower height of the current building and will ensure these assets remain screened and no impacts are made on their settings. The proposed development would remove little, if any, historic fabric of the CVL which would remain operational.

  • Cardiff 19Th Century Gameboard Instructions
    Cardiff 19th Century Timeline Game education resource This resource aims to: • engage pupils in local history • stimulate class discussion • focus an investigation into changes to people’s daily lives in Cardiff and south east Wales during the nineteenth century. Introduction Playing the Cardiff C19th timeline game will raise pupil awareness of historical figures, buildings, transport and events in the locality. After playing the game, pupils can discuss which of the ‘facts’ they found interesting, and which they would like to explore and research further. This resource contains a series of factsheets with further information to accompany each game board ‘fact’, which also provide information about sources of more detailed information related to the topic. For every ‘fact’ in the game, pupils could explore: People – Historic figures and ordinary population Buildings – Public and private buildings in the Cardiff locality Transport – Roads, canals, railways, docks Links to Castell Coch – every piece of information in the game is linked to Castell Coch in some way – pupils could investigate those links and what they tell us about changes to people’s daily lives in the nineteenth century. Curriculum Links KS2 Literacy Framework – oracy across the curriculum – developing and presenting information and ideas – collaboration and discussion KS2 History – skills – chronological awareness – Pupils should be given opportunities to use timelines to sequence events.

HOSELITZ RESEARCH CENTER IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURAL CHANGE, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 1. Introduction FROM THE END OF the seventeenth to the end of the nineteenth cen- tury the economic structure of Western Europe underwent a pro- found change. Cross national income grew at an accelerated rate, and the center of gravity of the economy shifted from primary to secondary and later to tertiary industries. The Industrial Revolution reached its peak in the first quarter of the nineteenth century in England and in the third quarter in France. After that, rates of growth declined in both countries, but the trend proceeded along paths whose basic contours had been traced in the decades preceding the turning point. In order to understand fully the role of entre- preneurship in Britain and France, and its relationship to capital formation and economic development, its place and function must be examined in the period when modern

NOTES AND REMINISCENCES OF HALF A century's PROGRESS IN RAILWAY WORKING, AND OF A RAILWAY SUPERINTENDENT'S LIFE, PRINCIPALLY ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY, WITH SOME SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDA AS TO THE RAILWAY JOURNEYS TO AND FROM SCOTLAND MADE BY HER LATE MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA. XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.
