CONFERENCE THEME The main theme for the conference is sustainability of all areas of railway heritage. The four main topics are: Financial & Commercial Sustainability & Economics – International Comparisons What partnership opportunities exist which might ensure the continued prosperity and long term financial sustainability of railway heritage? Rail museums and heritage railways are largely fixed cost, capital intensive operations. One bad season or a major equipment or infrastructure failure can represent the difference between profit or loss, not only for the organisations concerned, but also for the communities in which they are located. People Issues – Training & Regulation What creative solutions exist to meet the training and staffing in an increasingly regulated environment? Should WATTRAIN offer solutions? Accessing / retaining the skills and knowledge necessary for maintaining heritage railway equipment and systems, and meeting current regulatory requirements is a major challenge for the sector. Until now, heritage railway operations have relied on vast numbers of former railway employees with the training, knowledge and experience to volunteer. As the number of people who have experienced working on mainline steam diminishes, training the next generation and meeting future regulatory requirements presents a significant challenge. Environment Who are the environmental innovators and what can we learn from them? New challenges are emerging for heritage railway operations - the introduction of new environmental standards and carbon tax, use of recycled water, management of trackside vegetation, fire prevention/control, and noise and pollution management. Technical Challenges How can “Heritage” railways adapt to new materials, and abolition of older materials? How do railways meet the challenges of new boiler technology and the reduction of skills within the boiler manufacturing and repair industry? NEW BUSINESS RATES FOR DELEGATES. Business Days Wednesday 3rd, Thursday 4th and Friday 5th October. Full day at National Railway Museum conference, lunch, tea and coffee. Friday to include conference dinner at NRM £130.00 per person, per day Saturday 6th October Main line steam tour £110.00 per person, can only be booked as an add on to another day Four Day Package All three business days, Congress dinner at the National Railway Museum and main line steam tour £475.00 per person Partners Programme Daily Rates Wednesday 3rd October Visit to Temple Newsam stately home, guided tour, lunch and private coach travel £50.00 per person Thursday 4th October Full day in York, return train travel, a themed guided tour of the City and lunch. £65.00 per person Friday 5th October Visit to Kirkstall Abbey with guided tour, visit to the Abbey House museum, local bus travel and lunch included, Congress dinner at National Railway Museum and private return coach travel from hotel to York £110.00 per person Saturday 6th October Main line steam tour (can only be booked as an add on to another day) £110.00 per person Four Day Partners’ Package All the partners’ visits. Congress dinner at the National Railway Museum and the main line steam tour £315.00 per person SPECIAL COMPETITION For the “Beer & Music Train”, the local brewery, Mallinsons, would like Delegates to send in photographs of their local railway viaducts. The best photograph will be used on the barrel of our very own WATTRAIN “Viaduct” Ale. In the first instance, please send a low resolution image of YOUR viaduct to my email address below and these will be sent to Mallinsons for them to make the final decision. Finally, thanks for reading and any queries please get in touch with me on either [email protected] or [email protected] Ian Smith Managing Director, WATTRAIN .

  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

  • The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire
    The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire Introduction: The impact of the Industrial Revolution came comparatively late to the West Yorkshire region. The seminal breakthroughs in technology that were made in a variety of industries (e.g. coal mining, textile, pottery, brick, and steam engine manufacture) during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the major production centres that initially grew up on the back of these innovations, were largely located elsewhere in the country. What distinguishes Yorkshire is the rate and density at which industry developed in the region from the end of the 18th century. This has been attributed to a wide variety of factors, including good natural resources and the character of the inhabitants! The portion of the West Riding north and west of Wakefield had become one of most heavily industrialised areas in the Britain by the end of the 19th century. It was also one of the most varied - there were some regional specialities, but at one time or another Yorkshire manufacturers supplied everything from artificial manure to motorcars. A list of local products for the 1890s would run into hundreds of items. Textile Manufacturing: The most prominent industry in the region has always been textile manufacture. There was a long tradition in the upland areas of the county of cloth production as a home-based industry, which supplemented farming. The scale of domestic production could hardly be considered negligible - the industry in Calderdale was after all so large that in 1779 it produced the Piece Hall in Halifax as an exchange centre and market. However, the beginnings of the factory system, and the birth of modern textile mills, dates to the introduction of mass-production techniques for carding and spinning cotton.

Yes No If relevant, name(s) of Ward(s): City and Hunslet; Beeston and Holbeck Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Is the decision eligible for Call-In? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: 10.4 (3) Appendix number: 1 Summary of main issues 1. At its meeting of the 14 th February, Executive Board gave approval for the disposal of the Council owned Engine House as part of an exercise to secure new development in the short term at the primarily HCA owned Tower Works site. It is anticipated that this will help to kick start regeneration in Holbeck Urban Village, which has stalled in recent years due to economic conditions. 2. The report outlined that the Council and the HCA also own other assets in Holbeck Urban Village and that there were on-going discussions between the Council and the HCA about how these assets could be best used to support regeneration in the area. It was indicated that a future paper would be presented with recommendations about these assets. These discussions have focussed on the Council owned Bath Road site, the HCA owned Leodis Court and the lease that the HCA have at the Round Foundry Media Centre (see plan 1).

  • Index to Yorkshire Journal
    Index to Yorkshire Journal A full index to the previous year’s issues was published in each Spring issue from 1994 to 2004. It would be extremely time consuming to combine these annual indexes into a single master index, so the annual indexes are individually reproduced in the remainder of this document. Fortunately it is relatively simple to find all references using the search function in your reader – usually this is invoked by pressing the Cntrl and F keys simultaneously. No index exists for the last three 2004 issues, as publication ceased at the end of this year, Each reference is indexed by the issue number (in bold type) followed by the page number. The issue numbers are: Spring Summer Autumn Winter 1993 1 2 3 4 1994 5 6 7 8 1995 9 10 11 12 1996 13 14 15 16 1997 17 18 19 20 1998 21 22 23 24 1999 25 26 27 28 2000 29 30 31 32 2001 33 34 35 36 2002 37 38 39 40 2003 - 41 42 43 2004 44 45 46 47 There was also a trial issue (Winter 1992) referenced by 0 The following suffixes have been used to identify the different types of material being referenced: a an illustration: drawing, painting, etc p photograph cp cover photograph v verse dv dialect verse ss short story (R) book review For example, 2 110p refers to a photograph on page 110 of the summer 1993 issue.

  • Historic Character Map of Leeds
    HOLBECK: Walking Tour HOLBECK: This short 1km tour explores the inherited character of part of Holbeck, a former industrial area of Leeds undergoing heritage-led regeneration. A rich industrial heritage is interspersed with large gap sites, many of which have secured investment to create an urban village immediately south of the city centre. Poor quality developments in the late 20th century led to adoption of the Holbeck Urban Village Planning Framework (2006). Principles within it are guiding future development, helping to “preserve the area’s unique character, combining the architectural legacy with new high-quality and contemporary design”. Moving around the area we’ll be exploring some techniques of characterisation, a method used to understand and describe how a place is distinctive. We’ll explore some policies in the Urban Village Planning Framework, and considering how more recent developments have contributed to the area’s character. Relevant principles within the ‘Urban Design & Public Realm’ and ‘Conservation & Listed Buildings’ chapters of the Holbeck Urban Village Planning Framework are introduced along the way, demonstrating the important roles that strategic planning and development management have in heritage-led regeneration. You can navigate the tour by following the map and the key points along it. Short descriptions with images are provided for each point. N.B. Some principles of the Holbeck Urban Village Framework are slightly abridged in places. The full version can be found at http://www.leeds.gov.uk/docs/Holbeck%20Urban%20Village.pdf. A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY! The tour follows a number of busy streets in Holbeck, and special care should be taken when crossing them.
