    The Park Keeper 1 ‘Most of us remember the park keeper of the past. More often than not a man, uniformed, close to retirement age, and – in the mind’s eye at least – carrying a pointed stick for collecting litter.

  • Uncertain Prospects Public Parks in the New Age of Austerity a Short Report by the Gardens Trust
    Uncertain Prospects Public parks in the new age of austerity A short report by The Gardens Trust Uncertain Prospects Public parks in the new age of austerity A short report by The Gardens Trust written by Katy Layton-Jones 2016 Preface This report has been written in response to increasing alarm about the effect of budget cuts on councils’ capacity to maintain their public parks. That alarm has been most recently embodied in a House of Commons Select Committee inquiry into the future of public parks, held in the autumn of 2016. The Gardens Trust was formed in 2015 from the merger of the Garden History Society and the Association of Gardens Trusts. It has inherited the GHS role as a national amenity society and a statutory consultee on planning applications affecting parks and gardens on the national Register. It is also the umbrella group for the network of 36 county gardens trusts in England and is affiliated to the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust. In 2016 the Gardens Trust published The Planning System in England and the Protection of Historic Parks and Gardens: Guidance for Local Planning Authorities. The report was written by Dr Katy Layton-Jones, an independent historical consultant. In 2005 she was engaged as a Research Associate on the Liverpool Parks and Open Spaces project, a collaboration between Liverpool City Council, the University of Liverpool, and English Heritage. She has since been commissioned to research parks and parks policy for a number of organisations including Historic England and local authorities. She has researched and published widely on the subject of public parks.

  • Chapter 6: James and Wainwright Bellhouse Ltd., Cotton Spinners
    CHAPTER 6 JAMES AND WAINWRIGHT BELLHOUSE LTD. COTTON SPINNERS The business venture started by David Bellhouse (1764 – 1840) that seems least related to the rest is cotton spinning. This business was passed to his sons, James (1796 – 1874) and Wainwright Bellhouse (1800 – 1885), about a decade before the father’s death. By 1833, David Bellhouse had ceased to list himself as a cotton spinner in the Manchester directories. Wain- wright Bellhouse first appeared in the Manchester directories in 1832 with his occupation given as cotton spinner; James Bellhouse followed in 1836. The firm was know as Messrs. Bellhouse by 18311 and as James and Wainwright (J. & W.) Bellhouse by 1833.2 Advertisement for the Medlock New Mill3 129 The traditional date for the start of J. & W. Bellhouse is 1792.4 However, this is the year in which David Bellhouse senior took up residence in Faulkner Street and began to work inde- pendently as a joiner and builder, not the year the spinning business started. David Bellhouse built the original mill, associated with the firm known as the Medlock New Mill, in 1806 and so the beginning of the firm should be dated from that year. The mill was just outside the boundary of the Township of Manchester as defined in 1800.5 It was bounded by the Medlock River and by Pritchard, York and Charles Streets in Chorlton on Medlock or Chorlton Row. The mill was situated directly across the Medlock River from all the other Bellhouse enterprises, which were in Hunt or Whitworth Street. David Bellhouse senior built a second mill at this location in 1836.6 Sometime before 1851 a third mill was added.

  • River Irk – Greater Manchester
    River Irk – Greater Manchester An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – Feb 2015 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust Advisory Visit (AV) undertaken along approximately 3km of the River Irk in Greater Manchester. The visit was carried out by Dr. Paul Gaskell and hosted by Jo Fraser (Groundwork North West), Mike Duddy (Salford Friendly Anglers) and Dave Barlow (Manchester City Council). The River Irk was walked from an upstream limit at NGR (National Grid Reference) SD 86762 05493 to a downstream limit at SD 83972 03627 Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Hand Bank (LHB) or Right Hand Bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. Figure 1: Map overview of the catchment including upstream (yellow triangle) and downstream (red dot) limits of inspected reaches 2. Catchment overview The surveyed sections of watercourse are all captured within a single waterbody (GB112069061130); listed as River Irk – Wince Brook to Moston Brook. A number of the parameters are judged to be of less than “Good Potential” for this heavily modified waterbody (e.g. excerpted data given in Table 1.) – giving an overall current and projected ecological potential of “Moderate”. The stand-out assessment results are those for “Phosphate” and “Invertebrate” parameters that are judged to be of “Poor” and “Bad” potential respectively; resulting in an overall biological quality of “Bad”. The presence of a detergents factory (with associated, documented pollution and fish-kill incidents) is a fundamental issue for this section of the River Irk.

  • Using the Upm Methodology
    USING THE UPM METHODOLOGY Graham Squibbs - North West Water Mark Bottomley and Richard Norreys - Montgomery Watson Introduction The Urban Pollution Management (UPM) studies undertaken by Montgomery Watson with North West Water (NWW)' formed the part of .North West Water's UPM programme within the Mersey Basin. These considered the impact of wastewater treatment work and CSO discharges from the sewer network on the receiving watercourses. These studies covered four areas surrounding and including parts of the City of Manchester being Oldham, to the north east of Manchester, part of Bolton to the north west, Salford to the west and the River Medlock catchment including part of Manchester, Droylesden and Failsworth . The catchments have a population in excess of 600 000 people and contain over 76 UCSOs, four wastewater treatment works requiring upgrading works as part of the National Environmental Programme and in excess of 20 different water courses. Tables 1 to 4 detail the studies. The studies were carried out by Montgomery Watson in conjunction with NWW input to a combined team. The UPM data collection programme covering flow and quality surveys was maintained as a single programme under NWW control. The project involved considerable modelling work. In the course of the studies : 14 HYDROWORKS sewer network quality models were built along with two Mike 11 river impact models and three STOAT wastewater treatment work models. In addition existing drainage area study network hydraulic models were upgraded to HYDROWORKS and reverified. UPM Methodology Urban Pollution Management' (UPM) concerns the management of wastewater discharges from urban sewerage and sewage treatment facilities under wet weather conditions .
