    DUNDEE UNITED ON THIS DAY JANUARY 11 Dundee United On This Day THURSDAY 1st JANUARY 2015 A great start to 2015 as United thump Dundee in the new year derby at Tannadice, in front of 13,000 fans. Stuart Armstrong deflects a Chris Erskine shot into the Dundee net in the first minute, and an Erskine strike and a Gary Mackay-Steven double make it 4-1 by half-time. Jaroslaw Fojut and Charlie Telfer add two more in the second half, and the 6-2 final score puts United third in the Premiership, just three points behind Aberdeen and two behind Celtic. WEDNESDAY 1st JANUARY 1913 Dumbarton are the new year’s day visitors at Tannadice, but, although a railway special brings 300 fans through from the west coast, The Dundee Evening Telegraph reports that very few of them make it to the game, presumably as a side effect of their new year celebrations. The Dumbarton players, on the other hand, show no sign of any hangover as they start brightly in a match full of chances, but Dundee Hibernian – as the club were called before changing their name to United – come back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3. THURSDAY 2nd JANUARY 1958 United beat East Stirling 7-0. Jimmy Brown and Wilson Humphries both grab doubles, and Allan Garvie, Willie McDonald and Joe Roy score once each. Twenty-year-old Aberdonian defender Ron Yeats makes his debut in the match. He features prominently for United for four seasons, before, in 1961, he’s sold for £30,000 to Liverpool, where he becomes hugely influential and plays over 450 games.

  • Shrewsbury Catholic Cathedral: Access Awarded £281,000 in March 2015 Towards a £380,000 Project
    Shrewsbury Catholic Cathedral: Access Awarded £281,000 in March 2015 towards a £380,000 project The need There was a long-standing problem of unsafe access to the cathedral’s main entrance. The stairs were too steep and therefore rarely used for fear of injury or accident, and there was no provision for wheelchair users. Outcomes The cathedral is now accessible to all, safer for the public and much more inviting to visitors and worshippers. The area will not need further work apart from routine maintenance for a long time. New entrance to Shrewsbury Cathedral. Photo credit: Arrol and Snell Architects. Economic and social impact The project supported local metal workers and stonemasons and two apprentices were employed. Those working on the project were challenged and extended their skills in specialist labour techniques. The number of visitors to the cathedral has increased from 6,000 per year to 2,000 to 3,000 per month since the project was completed and a team of stewards has been recruited to welcome them. The cathedral has also set up a café and restaurant for visitors making it more of an attraction, and is now used for large Diocesan events. The public are increasingly using the new external porch space, which incorporates a war memorial shrine: people passing who would not necessarily go into the cathedral will now stop at the shrine and can readily get to it. Works completed and timescale The project involved dismantling the side walls of the central porch to allow construction of new steps and a platform lift.
