    Watsonia 25: 231–253 (2005) LANCASTER CANAL 231 The changing flora of the Lancaster Canal in * West Lancaster (v.c. 60) E. F. GREENWOOD 10 Gayton Parkway, Wirral, CH60 3SS ABSTRACT An account is provided of the history of the Lancaster Canal in West Lancaster (v.c. 60). During its 200 year history the changing flora is described showing it has provided a habitat for a characteristic flora. However, the changes are consistent with general eutrophication, which more recent detailed studies suggest is accelerating. In addition changes and especially losses appear to confirm a correlation with increasing boat traffic. KEYWORDS: aquatic flora, eutrophication, boat traffic. INTRODUCTION The second half of the 18th century was a time of change across much of England. Despite the American Wars of Independence and the Napoleonic wars it was a time of gradually rising wealth as industrial development accelerated. It was a period of entrepreneurship and innovation with new manufacturing processes and a developing factory system. However, transport was a problem facing the new industrialists. Packhorse trails and even the new toll roads were inadequate. The solution was to build canals, which in England were pioneered in the Mersey basin with the opening of the St Helens Canal (1757) and the Bridgewater Canal (1765), which were used primarily for transporting coal (Hadfield & Biddle 1970). Changes were also taking place in rural areas with the enclosure of common lands, drainage of wetlands and general agricultural improvement requiring marl (calcareous clay) and lime (Holt 1795). As a consequence of these changes there was a rapid growth in the size of towns, particularly in Lancashire south of the River Ribble, whilst in the rural areas in the north and west of the county agricultural improvements took place providing food for the growing and increasingly urban population (Crosby 1998).

  • Brown Trout Habitat Assessment on the River Bela Catchment (As Recommended by the Strategic Fisheries Stock Assessment Task Group 1995)
    Brown trout habitat assessment on the River Bela catchment (as recommended by the strategic fisheries stock assessment task group 1995) Item Type monograph Authors Watson, E.P.K.; McCubbing , D.J.F. Publisher Environment Agency North West Download date 29/09/2021 15:23:57 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/27347 Brown Trout Habitat Assessment on the River Bela Catchment (As Recommended by the Strategic Fisheries Stock Assessment Task Group 1995) E.P.K. Watson & D.J.F. McCubbing, 1997 EA/NW/FTR/97/7 Summary The Environment Agency (EA) and its predecessor the National Rivers Authority, undertook strategic fish stock assessments in 1992 and 1995 on the River Bela catchment. These surveys found low numbers of brown trout {Salmo trutta) at some sites. Following this, habitat evaluation assessments were undertaken on the eleven poorest sites Factors probably responsible for declining trout populations on the three main tributaries of the Bela catchment, include: 1. Overgrazing by farm stock. 2. Lack of suitable cover for parr. 3. The absence of suitable spawning areas. 4. Existing potential of certain areas within the catchment not being utilised, due to poor dispersal. Habitat Improvement Schemes (H.I.S) are discussed and prioritised. 1 CONTENTS PAGE NO. 1.

  • South Cumbria Action Plan December 1997
    SOUTH CUMBRIA ACTION PLAN DECEMBER 1997 E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE HEAD OFFICE Rio House, Waterside Drive, Aztec West. Almondsbury, Bristol BS32 4UD _ E n v ir o n m e n t T A g e n c y Vision for the Local Environment The area covered by this plan encompasses a high quality environment, large parts of which are recognised to be of national and international importance. For example much of the area is in the Lake District National Park, including England's most famous lake - Windermere. The area also contains im portant species and habitats such as the internationally important sites in and around Morecambe Bay and the Duddon Estuary. The quality of the environment also provides a major recreational facility and attracts large numbers of visitors. The first aim of the Agency is to prevent any deterioration in any aspect of environmental quality for which we have responsibility. We recognise that even in an area of such high environmental quality there is room for improvements. The Agency will therefore seek to make environmental improvements through our planned programmes, but also by taking opportunities for improvements as they arise. To help promote a sustainable environment the Agency will operate within its regulatory framework but will also work with key partners to tackle environmental issues in an open and holistic way reflecting on the perceptions and aspirations of the inhabitants of South Cumbria. The environment of the area is unique, and in order to target environmental improvements the Agency will seek to improve scientific understanding of the complex environmental processes at work particular in the lakes and estuaries.

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.
