  • Urban Nature Conservation Study
    DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 SUMMARY Purpose of study The environment is one of the four main drivers of sustainable development, and in this context biodiversity needs to be fully integrated into planning policy and delivery. As part of the new planning system known as the Local Development Framework, information on urban wildlife is fundamental given the pressure on land resources in and around our towns. The aims of the study are: ‘To provide a well reasoned and coherent strategy for the protection and enhancement of key wildlife areas and network of spaces / natural corridors within the towns and large villages of Dacorum’. The Dacorum Urban Nature Conservation Study considers the wildlife resources within the six major settlements in Dacorum, namely Berkhamsted, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley, Markyate and Tring. They were mapped using existing habitat information, additional sites identified from aerial photo interpretation and local knowledge. The areas adjacent to each settlement – up to a distance of 1km – were also mapped in a similar fashion to place the urban areas within the context of their surrounding environments. This process identified the most important sites already known such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, local sites meeting minimum standards known as ‘Wildlife Sites’, and other sites or features of more local significance within the urban areas known collectively as ‘Wildspace’. These incorporated Hertfordshire Biological Record Centre’s ‘Ecology Sites’ where appropriate, old boundary features such as hedgerows and tree lines, as well as significant garden areas or open spaces which may survive.

    Potters Bar & District Historical Society _____________________________________________________________________________________ REGD. CHARITY NO. 299475 The Newsletter _________________________________________________________________________________________________ September 2007 _ Vol. 24 No. 1 COVER PICTURE This is the seventh of a short series of Potters Bar wartime photos taken by Frederick Cole of Barnet, supplied by Terry Goulding. Children were made up by the Ambulance Services as casualties and bomb victims at Elm Court, with bandages, arm slings and mock tourniquets etc. and then distributed around the area for the Rescue Service to practice their skills on. Terry was one of the two victims lowered from the old Gas Board offices in Darkes Lane, and he lived to tell the tale! (1939) 1 Effra Sales and Service in Cranborne Road, Potters Bar, employed local housewives to make parts for tanks, aircraft and munitions during the war (c.1944). Do you know the names of these ladies? FROM THE CHAIRMAN To all our Members. Well, what a change a year makes! Looking at my contribution for our newsletter for last September on the weather, I remarked that we had had a 100 year drought and the fields had 2 inch cracks in them. I also said that perhaps we should not wish for too much of a downpour in case we got it. So which of us did the wishing? I have just returned from a pocket emptying visit to the dentist, where I was charged £180.90 for three „bonded‟ fillings and a „polish and brush-up‟. Wow! I thought, that is £55 per filling, and then I remembered a 1919 report by the „Lord President of the Council‟ on his enquiry into: - „THE EXTENT AND GRAVITY OF THE EVILS OF DENTAL PRACTICE BY PERSONS NOT QUALIFIED UNDER THE DENTIST‟S ACT.‟ In this report it quotes treatment charges for a group of benevolent Scottish Dentists in Glasgow and I reprint it here.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.

We are delighted to welcome David Sapte as our new Treasurer. David comes with a wealth of knowledge of treasurer roles as well as fundraising and grant applications. Rob Jennings will be gradually handing over the reins to David and will be staying on as a trustee for some months to ensure all runs smoothly. We are very grateful for Rob's many years of careful stewardship of our finances. He has been a hard working colleague and a good friend to all of us. Spring has sprung and there are more changes to come as we begin our biggest ever renovation project. Thanks to St Mary’s Church, Redbourn, who nominated us as their charity for 2016 we have been able to replace our ailing quad bike with a more versatile maintenance vehicle. The £16,000 they raised has purchased not only Mary the Mule but also a much needed new shed to house her! A Mule is halfway between a quad bike and a tractor and was recommended to handle the major changes we had planned for our Indoor School. Thanks to the generosity of Consort Medical, our planned improvements are now full steam ahead! As soon as sessions finished for the Easter break, volunteers cleared the school of equipment and work began to remove the old irrigation system including the water tank and the two foot thick concrete base it sat on! Then the rusty roof struts were rubbed down and painted prior to the old riding surface being removed and a new modern dust free surface being laid.
