DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No 'DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 70 SUMMER 2003 ISSN 0965-8912 Village Design Statement On Saturday 28th of June, the Dore Village Society is organising a Design Day Workshop in the Church Hall, Townhead Road. This will provide an interesting and hopefully fun opportunity to join in the process of preparing 'The Village Design Statement' . The aim will be to focus on the essential character of Dore, by looking more carefully at different parts of the village and describing their special features and character. This information will then make a valuable contribution to providing guidance to developers and planners when designing or deciding on future new developments. In order to get as many people as possible involved, the day has been organised in Victorian houses on Abbeydale Road South.

  • The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire
    THE EARLY BRYOLOGISTS OF SOUTH WEST YORKSHIRE by Tom Blockeel [Bulletin of the British Bryological Society, 38, 38-48 (July 1981)] This account brings together information which I have encountered during work on the bryology of South West Yorkshire (v.-c. 63). It lays no claim to originality, but is rather a collation of biographical data from disparate sources, and is presented here in the hope that it may be of interest to readers. I have confined myself largely to those botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who made significant contributions to the bryology of v.-c. 63. If there are any omissions or other deficiencies, I should be grateful to hear of them, and of any additional information which readers may have to hand. The Parish of Halifax has been a centre of bryological tradition for over two hundred years. It was there that there appeared, in 1775, the first contribution of substance to South Yorkshire bryology, in the form of an anonymous catalogue of plants published as an appendix to the Rev. J. Watson’s History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax. Traditionally, the catalogue was attributed to James Bolton (d. 1799) of Stannary, near Halifax, whose life was researched by Charles Crossland at the beginning of this century (Crump & Crossland, 1904; Crossland, 1908, 1910). Bolton was the author of fine illustrated botanical works, notably Filices Britannicae and the History of Fungusses growing about Halifax, the latter being the first British work exclusively devoted to fungi. However, his work extended beyond the purely botanical. Shortly after the completion of the History of Fungusses, which was dedicated to and sponsored by Henry, the sixth earl of Gainsborough, Bolton wrote to his friend John Ingham: ‘You must know, John, that I have been so long tilted between roses and toadstools, and back again from toadstools to roses, that I am wearied out with both for the present, and wish (by way of recreation only) to turn for awhile to some other page in the great volume.

    The Post Hole Issue 36 March / April 2014 ‘Don’t forget about us’ – Why the archaeology of North-West England should not be neglected Faye Morrissey 1 1Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York, YO1 7EP Email: [email protected] Introduction As a country, England has a wealth of archaeological sites and important historic monuments and artefacts, for example the princely cemetery of Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, Ice Age rock art at Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire, and the largest find of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever found, the Staffordshire Hoard. However, when the location and significance of archaeological sites in England are considered, a huge majority appear to be from the south and east of the country. Very little research has been undertaken into remains from North-West England, particularly that of Lancashire. Consequently, this article will aim to inform the reader on three of the most important, yet neglected, finds from North-West England that have perhaps been cast under the shadow of other more recent discoveries. It will indicate future areas of improvement and investigation, therefore highlighting that this region is just as archaeologically noteworthy as the rest of the country. Lindow Man In 1984, the preserved remains of a man’s body was found amongst the layers of peat on Lindow Moss in Cheshire (Brothwell 1986, 9, 14) (Figure 1). This sparked large scale media coverage and archaeological reports, such as that by Connolly (1985) just a year later. Radiocarbon dating reported the body as being over 1,000 years old at the time of discovery (Brothwell 1986, 16), making it not only a significant find for the north-west, but nationally and internationally as well.

    Txst6"btx6,"xxxii (1994) SCIENCE IN THE PUB: ARTISAN BOTANISTS IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY LANCASHIRE Anne Secord Cambridge Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine "Do you not think, sir, as I am unknown ... I might make inquiries, dqd ascertain the feeling of the people better if I went on foot...?" "That is a wise thought of yours.... But country people are inquisitive; what do you propose to be?" "Well, sir, ... I could represent myself as an auwist; or I could cram my pock- ets with plants and roots as I went along, and say I was a botanist in search of specimens." "Stick to the auwist, Jabez; our country botanists would soon floor you on their own ground — they know more of plants than pencils, I'll warrant." (Mrs G. Linnaeus Banks, The Manchester man)' Historians have often been frustrated in recovering the perspective of working- class participants in the pursuit of knowledge, especially when this involves the natural sciences. With a few notable exceptions, the study of working-class sci- ence has revealed more about the dominant middle-class ideology than its sup- posed subject matter.' Such studies reflect a model of popular science that Whig social reformers believed in: a diffusionist model in which knowledge was handed down in Mechanics' Institutes or through the publications of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Heroic biographies of working men published in `improving' journals and later in the more celebrated works of Samuel Smiles dqd William Jolly, purported to show the moral benefits of such pursuits dqd to promote the philosophy of individual self-help.' Largely informed by this literature, historians have noted the involvement of artisans and operatives in natural history as it became increasingly popular in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

  • An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire
    East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire Andrew Myers - Derbyshire Sites and Monuments Records Officer Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. Geology and Topography Derbyshire's landscape encompasses dramatic variations in geology, geomorphology and soil types. In the north lie the uplands formed by gritstones in the district of High Peak, and the dissected Carboniferous limestone of the southern High Peak and Derbyshire Dales. The latter is flanked on its eastern side by the gritstone outliers of the East Moors and Stanton Moor. In the north east, the Magnesian limestone of Bolsover district forms a narrow north- south ridge of higher ground. Sandwiched between the gritstone East Moors and the Magnesian limestone lie the complex, lower lying coal measures, running from the South Yorkshire border southwards through North East Derbyshire, Chesterfield, Amber Valley and Erewash. Here they give way to the Triassic marls and loams of South Derbyshire and the Trent Valley, Derby district and the southernmost parts of Derbyshire Dales. The SMR: Distribution of Records The Roman period accounts for 10.7% of total SMR records. The distribution of Roman records within Derbyshire reveals something of the same quantitative bias for the uplands of Derbyshire Dales which has been noted previously for the various prehistoric periods. Derbyshire Dales, which comprises 30.3% of Derbyshire's surface area, accounts for 41.6% of all Roman records. In contrast, North East and South Derbyshire comprise 10.5% and 12.9% of Derbyshire's surface area, but only have 3.2% and 2.6% of Roman records respectively.
