Where possible, codes from HDU, 1st ed 2001, and from Hungerfords of the Hunter, have been updated to match HDU, 2nd ed 2013. Stray Hungerfords have been realigned in HDU, 2nd ed 2013, consequently some codes in this index may not match the codes used in the articles as published in early issues.

    Hunter Valley: Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission 8 November 2013

    Director Assessment Policy, Systems & Stakeholder Engagement Department of Planning and Infrastructure Hunter Valley: Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission 8 November 2013 Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission: Hunter Valley This page was intentionally left blank 2 Coal Seam Gas Exclusion Zones Submission: Hunter Valley Foreword Closing the loop on CSG Mining in the Hunter Valley When it comes to coal seam gas (CSG) mining, protecting Australia’s most visited wine tourism region in its entirety - not in parts - is of paramount importance. And the time to do it is now. The NSW State Government should be recognised for delivering on its pre-election promises to preserve the Hunter Valley wine tourism region from CSG mining by confirming exclusion zones around the villages of Broke and Bulga as well as around significant areas defined as Viticulture Critical Industry Clusters (VCIC). But protecting most of the region, while leaving several critical areas open for CSG exploration and mining, could have devastating consequences for the iconic Hunter region as a whole – and undo the Government’s efforts thus far. While mining is obviously a legitimate land use and an important revenue source, this can’t justify allowing mining activities in areas where other existing, profitable industries would be adversely affected. Put simply, winemaking, tourism and CSG mining are not compatible land uses. The popularity and reputation of the Hunter Valley wine tourism region is fundamentally connected to the area’s natural beauty and landscape – and that natural beauty will fast disappear if the countryside is peppered with unsightly gas wells. Research reveals 80%1 of Hunter Valley visitors don’t want to see gas wells in the wine and tourism region, with 70%2 saying if gas wells are established they’ll just stop coming.

  • Response to the Draft Hunter Regional Plan from the Wollombi Valley Progress Association, January 2016

    Response to the Draft Hunter Regional Plan from the Wollombi Valley Progress Association, January 2016

    Response to the Draft Hunter Regional Plan from the Wollombi Valley Progress Association, January 2016 We, the Wollombi Valley Progress Association (WVPA), representing the communities of Wollombi and Laguna, welcome the opportunity to respond to the Draft Hunter Regional Plan. The WVPA seeks to protect the rural villages of Wollombi and Laguna and the rural settlement of the entire Wollombi Valley. In view of this, it makes the following points in relation to the Draft Hunter Regional Plan. The Draft Hunter Regional Plan does not mention Wollombi, Laguna or the Wollombi Valley either in text or map. This is a serious omission and means that the Plan fails to recognise the cultural, historic, economic and environmental significance of this area of the Hunter Valley. In Figure 2, the ‘Western Hunter’ subregion does not mark the location of Wollombi and Laguna. In Figure 9, the Wollombi Valley is not identified as a rural resource. In Figures 11 and 12, the two villages and the Wollombi Valley are not recognised for the high environmental values they possess. In Figure 14 the Wollombi Valley is not recognised as an integral part of an important water catchment. We see these serious omissions as a lack of planning for the future. A Hunter Regional Plan, we believe, needs the necessary scope and vision to protect, not only to develop. Wollombi, Laguna and the Wollombi Valley need to be identified with the following unique qualities which taken together, differentiate the area from the wider Western Hunter subregion: 1. Natural Environment Despite its relative proximity to the city and urban developments of Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle the Wollombi Valley still possesses a remarkable, wide range of native animal and plant diversity.

  • The Secret Life of London's Bridges

    The Secret Life of London's Bridges

    The Secret Life of London’s Bridges In its long and chequered history, Hungerford Bridge has been neglected, demolished and bombed, before being transformed in one of London’s most spectacular makeovers. Isambard Kingdom Brunel built the original suspension bridge to connect the South Bank with Hungerford Market, a competitor to Covent Garden Market located at Charing Cross. At the time, it was one of the longest suspension bridges ever built. The innovative design attracted the attention of pioneering photographers. A fragile snap taken shortly after the bridge’s opening in 1845 by William Henry Fox Talbot – who invented the ‘calotype’ technique that dominated photography until the 20th century – is among the earliest photographs still in existence. But despite its photogenic appeal, the bridge was not a success. Even Brunel wasn’t a fan, writing in his diary that he had ‘condescended to be the engineer of this, but I shan’t give myself much trouble about it’. The bridge was demolished just 15 years after it had been built and was replaced with a crossing made of wroughtiron lattice girders sufficiently strong to bear the steam trains that served the newly opened Charing Cross station. Hungerford Bridge remained a workaday railway bridge until 2002 when it underwent a dramatic conversion. A pair of elegant suspension footbridges were added – named the Golden Jubilee Bridges in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s accession – and suddenly it became one of the Thames’s most visually striking and popular crossings. It was a remarkable turnaround, but not the first piece of luck that the bridge has enjoyed – Hungerford is the only Thames bridge to take a direct hit during the Second World War.

    The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family The Manor of Lackham – Volume 3 The Montagus of Lackham and their historical connections by Tony Pratt and Karen Repko Last update : March 23, 2019 Wiltshire College Lackham 2010 1 The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family This investigation of the history of the manor of Lackham, close to Chippenham and next to Lacock in Wiltshire, started with the current author’s “The Bluets ; a baronial family and their historical connections 1066- 1400 1” and was continued in “The Baynards : a county family and their historical connections 1360 – 1650 2.” This work takes the story through the period of the Civil War and the Enlightenment to Canal Mania and on into the early part of the nineteenth century. For biographies of the authors see the Introduction to Vol. 1 “The Bluets”. Both of the previous volumes in this history, and others, are held by Wiltshire Libraries, the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham and online at http://www.lackham.co.uk/history/documents.asp As always we owe enormous debts of gratitude to the people who helped by their willingness to give freely of their time, expertise and knowledge, and without whom this volume would not have been possible. Individual credits and thanks are given in the footnotes. Not credited specifically are the archivists and staff at all the record offices and libraries consulted and who were unfailingly helpful above and beyond that which might be expected. We are very lucky to have such dedicated and knowledgeable people around and we would express our very sincere gratitude to everyone who helped.
