Licensed for reuse under a creative commons license - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ This zone marks the western edge of Sheffield and continues to the north into Barnsley, and to the west and south into Derbyshire. It falls entirely within the Dark Peak Landscape Character Area (Countryside Commission 1998 111-115) and consists of areas of “[w]ild and remote semi-natural character created by blanket bog, dwarf shrub heath and heather moorland with rough grazing and a lack of habitation” (ibid, 111). The area is linked to lower ground to the east, within the ‘Surveyed Enclosure’ and ‘Assarted Enclosure’ character zones, by areas of plantation woodland and reservoirs, as well as by steeply incised valleys or cloughs cut into the underlying gritstone geology. Over most of the zone, ground cover alternates between vast areas of blanket bog, heather moorland and rough grassland grazing. Whilst classified by the HEC project as ‘Unenclosed Land’, i.e. the majority of the area is not subdivided by internal boundary features, this area was generally subject to Parliamentary Enclosure. This process generally involved: 581 South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Part III: Sheffield Character Zone Descriptions “the removal of communal rights, controls or ownership over a piece of land and its conversion into ‘severalty’, that is a state where the owner had sole control over its use, and of access to it.” (Kain et al 2004, 1). -
To the Down of The
900 YEARS OF THE DON FISHERY fc n v ir o n m e to the down of the E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y The hand of man and the neglect of our . \i ancestors have deprived us of | a river which must have been a vision of glittering beauty (■ ERNEST PHILLIPS 1921 '1 The Don was once one of the country's finest salmon rivers. They have been absent from Salmon Pastures in Sheffield for more than two centuries. In fact for much of that time the river has been virtually fishless. Chris Firth's fascinating history of the river is timely. We now have a thriving coarse fishery again and the first salmon was found in Doncaster on 31 December 1995. Chris's study shows how man's exploitation of the Don devastated its ecology long before the pollution of the industrial revolution. Much has been achieved in recent years but much more remains to be done to protect and sustain the river. Os- JOHN FAWCETT CHAIRMAN 1 983 - 1 997 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FISHERIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Born and raised in the Don catchment, I have witnessed the river's misery throughout my childhood and into adult life. When in my professional life, the opportunity presented itself to begin the restoration of the Don I was eager to be involved. That is not to say that this document has been easy to produce. The collation of information from many varying sources has proved to be extremely challenging. The final product of many months of hard work is not a scientific record but a reflection borne of personal and professional experience. -

North East Derbyshire Industrial Archaeology Society NEDIAS Newsletter No. 42 – May 2011 Price: £1.00 (Free to Members) 20112011 -- NEDIASNEDIAS TT ENTHENTH AANNIVERSARYNNIVERSARY YYEAREAR !! WingerworthWingerworth StoneStone SawSaw MillMill t’s all hands to the pump! NEDIAS has received I permission from the land owner to investigate the old stone dressing mill near the junction of Hill Houses Lane and Pearce Lane, Wingerworth. This was a water powered stone saw mill dating probably from the third quarter of the nineteenth century which cut the stone from Bole Hill quarry into lintels, steps, kerb stones etc. The site probably has little national importance b u t certainly is of local interest and badly needs recording properly before it is irrevocably lost to the trees. The site today is largely overgrown, but with tantalizing lumps and bumps to investigate – and a small NEDIAS group has started on gentle clearance and excavation to see just what can be found, and to supply some of the answers to some intriguing questions. If you are interested to come along and help, indeed, if you’d like to know more about survey and recording techniques, please contact David Palmer on (01246) 279855 for more information. We’d certainly welcome your input either on site, or with background research.

The Heritage Protection Review
HERITAGE PROTECTION REVIEW The Heritage Protection Review The government first made a commitment to review the way we protect our historic environment in The Historic Environment:A Force for our Future (). The consultation paper Protecting our Historic Environment: Making the System Work Better () set out the govern- ment’s proposals for improving this system and objectives to deliver: • a positive approach to managing the historic environment, which would be transparent, inclusive, effective and sustainable and central to social, economic agendas at a local and community as well as national level • a historic environment legislative framework that provided for the management and enabling of change rather than its prevention. The resulting government report, Review of Heritage Protection:The Way Forward (), included a series of short- and long-term measures. The first of the short-term objectives was imple- mented in April , with the handing-over of responsibility for processing listing applications to English Heritage. Other long-term measures will require primary legislation and work on the Heritage White Paper is under way, with a provisional publication date for autumn . The core proposals of the Heritage Protection Review are: A new unified Register of Historic • complex entities that comprise many Sites and Buildings of England (RHSBE) similar or several different assets offering a holistic approach to the statutory • assets of a similar type in single ownership protection of the historic environment or management, but in dispersed locations through a single designation regime and • assets that are better managed alongside new overarching definition of ‘historic other regimes (eg in the natural environ- assets’. -
Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPS) the Future
Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPS) The future The 900 years of the Don’s history covered by this document has seen remarkable events enacted. It would be difficult to exaggerate the rivers contribution to the prosperity of the valleys inhabitants or even to Britain’s economy as a whole. However, their achievements lacked one element which denied them permanency. In their abuse of the river and its associated environs our ancestors gave little thought to the sustainability of this precious resource. The result was a grossly degraded river which later generations of the valley have had to endure for almost a century and a half. As we head into a new millennium we have the opportunity to reverse the mistakes of the past and pass on to our children an environment which can be sustained and enjoyed by all whilst still helping to serve the demands of a modern society. The formation of the Environment Agency for England and Wales on 1 April 1996 helped to create one of the worlds most powerful environmental regulators. It merged the former National Rivers Authority with Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Pollution and the Waste Regulation Authorities helping to provide an integrated approach to environmental protection and enhancement. This integrated approach along with an increased level of public participation will help the Agency and the community contribute to the worldwide environmental goal of sustainable development. PART 3 – THE FUTURE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT AGENCY PLANS (LEAPS) THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY’S VISION IS: A better environment in England -
