Head of Tor Bay Harbour Authority and Tor Bay Harbour Master Head of Tor Bay Harbour Authority and Tor Bay Harbour Master Salary between £57,341 and £61,004 pa Plus a Competitive Salary Pension Scheme An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone with the right level of vision, drive and leadership to join Torbay Council and oversee the delivery of a successful and well-established municipal harbour. Tor Bay Harbour is situated on the stunning south coast of Devon and sits within the jewel that is the English Riviera. Not only is Torbay a major holiday destination as one of the UK’s premier coastal resorts, but we also have a UNESCO Global Geopark. The Tor Bay Harbour area occupies 16 square miles of open sea and has 22 miles of extraordinary coastline. It includes three enclosed harbours and provides a sheltered anchorage for shipping which has been widely used during the pandemic drawing visitors just to see the cruise ships at anchor. The Bay is also a venue for a wide range of maritime events, including various national and international championships. The right candidate will be responsible for the overall management, direction and leadership of the Harbour Authority and will need to use their expansive maritime and leadership knowledge to influence and shape the services provided. As a senior officer within the local authority, you will manage and lead the statutory harbour function of Tor Bay Harbour, as required by Torbay Council. The Harbour Authority manages the enclosed harbours of Brixham, Torquay and Paignton, who within their own right host fishing, leisure and small commercial vessels, including seasonal passenger craft. Brixham is a significant fishing port, and the Bay provides a safe anchorage for shipping, as well as attracting cruise ships with passengers landed by tender in Torquay. Quays, piers and breakwaters can be found located around all three enclosed harbours, together with a range of assets that make up the relevant land-based harbour estates. The service also includes all aspects of beach management and has an exceptional team who maintain the current Blue Flag status that some of our beaches are proud to display. Torbay Council is looking for someone who has experience of management in ports and harbours at a senior level, knowledge of legislation relevant to ports and harbours, an appropriate marine related qualification, along with the ability to lead, motivate and develop staff at all levels. There is also the requirement that you have the ability to act as a stand-by pilot, although this is desirable and not essential. Does this excite you?

  • On the Geology of Tor and Babbacombe Bays, Devon
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Auckland on March 22, 2015 V.—On the Geology of Tor and Babbacombe Bays, Devon. BY HENRY THOMAS DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.G.S. P.R.S. F.L.S., &c. [Read November 16th, 1827.] THE district to be noticed in this communication enables us to trace the dis­ turbance of the Exeter red conglomerate, carboniferous limestone, and old red sandstone of the coasts of Tor and Babbacombe Bays, to the intrusion of trap rocks, subsequent to the formation of the Exeter red conglomerate. The following is a general sketch of the coast. There is no beach to the cliffs from near the Ness-point, at the mouth of the Teign, to Hope's Nose, the northern point of Tor Bay, with the exception of the bottom of a few coves, and the Babbacombe-sands, and their continuation the Oddicombe- sands, both misnomers, for they are shingle beaches. The cliffs plunge di­ rectly into the sea, and are well seen only from a boat. The coast is equally bold from Hope's Nose to Torquay, with the exception of Meadfoot-sands, which are, however, backed by a high broken hill. After passing the hill between Torquay and Tor Abbey, the coast assumes a milder character: the cliffs, where they occur, are of no great elevation; and there are extensive sands both at Paington and Goodrington, separated by Roundham Head. Further south, low cliffs intervene between Goodrington-sands and the Broad-sands. Beyond the low rocky land of Galmpton Point, the cliffs are bolder, and con­ tinue so to the Berry Head, being, in a few places, broken into coves, the most considerable of which is occupied by the harbour of Brixham.

  • The Reforms Made in the East India Company Changed the Life of Many Men Who Joined the Company, After 1770 (Look up Act); Being
    The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857 – UCL History A Fairy Palace in Devon: Redcliffe Towers, built by Colonel Robert Smith (1787-1873), Bengal Engineers By Diane James Please note that this case study was first published on blogs.ucl.ac.uk/eicah in July 2014. For citation advice, visit: http://blogs.uc.ac.uk/eicah/usingthewebsite. Figure 1. The Hotel Redcliffe (Redcliffe Towers), Paignton, Devon, early 20th century. © The Redcliffe Hotel. The eccentric building Redcliffe Towers (see figure 1), built on the edge of a cliff in Devon, is now a well-known landmark in the town of Paignton. It was constructed by Colonel Robert Smith in 1852-64 after his retirement from the East India Company (EIC) and a sojourn in Italy where he married a French heiress. Smith, an engineer and artist, was not a member of the landed gentry, however, he used his talents to rise through the ranks of the Bengal Army in India, from Cadet to Colonel. Smith left the Company with just an army pension, and it is likely he would have been unable to build Redcliffe Towers without the gain of a considerable inheritance upon the death of his wife. This case study records Robert Smith’s journey to India, to Europe and his final days spent in Devon, where he constructed his fairytale fortress, Redcliffe Towers. In doing so it contributes to the East India Company at Home project by demonstrating the ways in which EIC officials’ engagements with the subcontinent through practices such as drafting, building, painting and drawing, distinctly shaped the British homes they built on their return.

  • Annex D-6: Application of Torbay Council POWERS of HARBOUR DIRECTION: APPLICATION for DESIGNATION
    Annex D-6: Application of Torbay Council POWERS OF HARBOUR DIRECTION: APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION TORBAY COUNCIL: TOR BAY HARBOUR. DEVON Torbay Council are the Statutory Harbour Authority for Tor Bay Harbour, which includes the harbours of Torquay, Brixham and Paignton. In order to assist them in managing and running a safe and efficient harbour, and in particular discharging their responsibilities relating to the safety of vessels and people within the harbour (including navigational safety) and the protection of the port environment, Torbay Council wishes to apply to be designated as a designated harbour authority with the power to make Harbour Directions. RATIONALE As required by the Port Marine Safety Code. Torbay Council has recently carried out a review of its existing statutory powers (included local legislation and bye-laws) with the assistance of its legal advisors. This review has confirmed Torbay Council's pre-existing understanding, which is that Torbay Council do not have powers of general direction. Torbay Council do have the power to issue bye-laws, it is a competent harbour authority for pilotage purposes and the Harbour Master may issue special directions under section 52 Harbour Docks and Piers Clauses Act 1847. However the lack of powers for Torbay Council or its Harbour Master to issue general directions in relation to all ships in the harbour area either in response to a particular occurrence or as a standing instruction to all sh ips or specified classes of ship, is considered by Torbay Council to hinder them in the fulfilment of its statutory duties. The Port Marine Safety Code advises that the paragraph 3.4 that "Harbour Authorities would be well advised to secure powers of general direction to support the effective management of vessels in their harbour waters, if they do not have them already.
