Occasionally it’s somewhere splendid, like Sydney Harbour or Long Beach Antigua, but generally it’s within a few miles of home. As a result we’ve got to know our village rather well. High Littleton is not a single entity, but actually comprises several sub-divisions, each with its own particular characteristics, attributes and attractions. It helps explain why, say, Scobell Rise feels very diff erent to Rotcombe or Eastover to the High Street. Walk just 50 paces, and you can be aware of huge changes in the local environment, and that includes attitudes to litter. The two main sources of litter are that which is thrown from cars along the main road from Kingwell through to Hallatrow, and that which misses the Banes lorry on rubbish collection day. Much of the focus of our twice-yearly Litter Picks is to clear up that mess. But the rubbish soon returns unless we all take some responsibility and keep on top of the area particularly that around our own houses. I know from organising the Litter Picks, that some parts of the village are always clean. It’s as if ‘litter-fairies’ spirit the rubbish away. These ‘litter fairies’ magically clear up the Banes-spill, the crisp packets and the coke cans to keep areas permanently clean. Of course, being fairies they are rarely seen, and they wear disguises so when you do, they often look like you or me. So let’s celebrate the litter-fairies whoever you are, and encourage others to discover their inner-litter-fairy. In the endless war against litter you can never have enough fairies. At a practical level, we had an excellent Litter Pick on March 11th on a lovely Spring morning. I off er huge thanks to all who participated – no fairies here, just Litter- Leviathans! More than 30 bags of general rubbish plus a double mattress, tv, barbecue and two lots of fl y tipping.

The British and French moved towards the town of Arras where fi ghting continued in the spring of 1917. Private Walter Cheal was the youngest son of Harry and Bessie Cheal of Kingwell Lodge, High Littleton. He was active in the local community, once a member of High Littleton church choir and worked as a clerk at Clutton Colliery. Walter was a member of the 1st Battalion Somerset Light Infantry and was involved in the build up to the fi rst Battle of the Somme. Only nineteen years old, he was injured on the 3rd May and taken to a casualty clearing station at Aubigny en Artois near Arras. He died on the 7th May and the matron wrote to his mother:¬- “Your son has been brought in here, in hospital, mortally wounded in the thigh and back. The surgeons did all they could for him, but he passed away peacefully on Monday afternoon May 7th. We did our best to make him comfortable. He was such a brave lad and so good and More details available at www.greenlanefarmbandb.co.uk patient. I told him I would write to you” Alternatively please call Caroline on 01761 452833 or email [email protected]. Walter is buried in the Aubigny Communal Cemetery Corporal Ernest Cleavely Walters was the brother of George and lost his life near Arras in northern France on June 7th 1917. Ernest was a renowned local footballer, playing for High Littleton, Timsbury and Temple Cloud and worked at Clutton Colliery. He went to MENDIP GOLF CLUB France in the summer of 1916 as a soldier in the 10th Battalion of the Duke of Cornwall’s Regiment and was there when he received news of the death of his brother George Situated off the A37 between who had been killed on the Somme. The 10th Battalion was known as the “Cornwall Gurney Slade and Shepton Mallet Pioneers” during the Battle of the Somme, digging communication trenches, carrying barbed wire, ammunition, food and water to the forward trenches.

    FRACKING IN NORTH-EAST SOMERSET HOW MANY WELLS AND WHERE MIGHT THEY BE? The present government is keen to promote an American style unconventional gas revolution in Britain. This could mean big industry moving into our neighbourhood with the attendant disruption, potential risks, and effect on house prices. Parts of Somerset have been licensed for exploration and development. Industry interest has focused primarily on coalbed methane (CBM) with shale gas as a secondary possibility. Fracking may be used for both. Extraction of CBM is likely to be occur much nearer the surface than shale. How many wells & where? In 2000 the American CBM company GeoMet Inc.evaluated the CBM potential of the 400 km2 area shown in Fig. 1 Its report was retrieved from publicly available sources by Frack Free Chew Valley (FFCV) and is available with a detailed commentary. [Coalbed Methane Exploration in Somerset, the Chew Valley, Keynsham & the Mendip Hills https://frackfreecv.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/unconventionalgasexplorationinsomerset_160614b.pd f ] Most of the information here comes from that report where full detail and references should be sought. In its 2000 assessment GeoMet decided to concentrate on areas with coal measures at optimum depth , shown in grey in Fig. 1, and to exclude urban areas and areas where the coal had been previously worked. There seems to be no reason why CBM might not be extracted from other coal seams, but it appears that GeoMet first concentrated on the least complicated areas. This "developable" area, 108 km2 , GeoMet stated, could "accommodate" about 300 gas wells. Fig. 1 gives an indication of their location, according to FFCV's assumption of even distribution.

  • High Littleton and Hallatrow Community Placemaking Plan
    HIGH LITTLETON AND HALLATROW COMMUNITY PLACEMAKING PLAN DOCUMENT 2 of 4 SNAPSHOT CHARACTER SUMMARY – HIGH LITTLETON Context B&NES Landscape type: Area 6 Farrington Gurney Farmland/ Area 12 Cam and Wellow Brook Valleys. Designations: RA1 village. Lies within the Parish of High Littleton, which also includes the village of Hallatrow. There is a Village Design Statement for Hallatrow and High Littleton, approved by Bath and Northeast Somerset Council as Supplementary Planning Guidance. Introduction This Snapshot Character Summary responds to the requirements of B&NES Placemaking Workshop Toolkit guidance, and derives from a comprehensive community –led settlement assessment and landscape assessment which together have informed the Sites assessment for High Littleton. This Snapshot Character Summary should be read in conjunction with that of Hallatrow, which lies in the same Parish. Character Summary High Littleton is a hill village set in rolling Somerset countryside along a ridge running into the Cam valley. It was originally a ribbon settlement along either side of the A39 and has no single obvious centre. Early houses display their agricultural and coal-mining heritage. Later developments of various types have ‘thickened out’ the village shape to the east and west, away from the A39, to create a remarkably quiet and appealing place to live. The village is surrounded on all sides by open countryside, and safeguarding this green space, for example between Greyfield Road and Greyfield Wood, or High Littleton and Hallatrow, and around the village, is extremely important to the retention of the individual and distinctive character of this settlement. The village recreation ground with play area is a well-used and valuable community resource.

  • THE TURNPIKE ROADS of HIGH LITTLETON and HALLATROW The
    THE TURNPIKE ROADS OF HIGH LITTLETON AND HALLATROW The village today is served by two main roads, the A37 from Bristol to Shepton Mallet and the A39 from Bath to Wells. These grew out of the old turnpike roads, which owed their existence to various Acts of Parliament in the eighteenth century. Travel in the first half of the 18th century was slow and hazardous at the best of times. Generally speaking roads were in an atrocious condition and most hills were all but impassable to coaches in winter and bad weather. Roads within the parish boundary were supposed to be kept in good repair by the parish, for which the wherewithal was provided by statute labour or a rate levied on landowners. However, in some places there were expanses of road, which were a good distance from centres of population, with few persons available and willing to undertake the repair, because they gained little benefit from so doing. Bath Turnpike In order to facilitate travel between the more important towns, Turnpike Trusts were established to “privatise” the main roads by undertaking the improvement, maintenance and extension of existing roadways in return for charging tolls to road users. Bath Turnpike Trust, established under an Act of 1707, was the first such Trust in North Somerset. A further Act was passed in 1 George III (1760/1), which provided for the construction of the Lower Wells Road (as distinct from the Upper Wells Road, which went through Radstock). This was more or less on the line of the present A39 from Bath through Corston, Marksbury, Farmborough, High Littleton and Hallatrow, with tollgates at Newton St.
