  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.

  • Advisory Visit River Wye, Buxton Flyfishers Club, Derbyshire 17Th
    Advisory Visit River Wye, Buxton Flyfishers Club, Derbyshire 17th March, 2009 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust on the River Wye near Buxton, Derbyshire on 17th March 2009. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Paul Richardson of Buxton Flyfishers Club (BFFC), and David Percival, riverkeeper for Cressbrook & Litton Flyfishers Club (CLFFC) which controls the water immediately downstream of this reach. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Overview BFFC control the fishing on the River Wye between the footbridge at Blackwell Cottages (downstream limit, National Grid Reference SK 112727), and the bridge at the Devonshire Arms (Silverdale Plant Ltd.) (NGR SK 081724), a length of approximately 4 km. A schematic diagram of the river is shown in Figure 1. The water is owned by the Chatsworth Estate and leased to BFFC. The club has 24 members, and stocks 250 12-14” brown trout (diploid) per annum into the lower third of the fishery (downstream of Topley Pike car park). No stocking has taken place upstream of this point, nor any rainbow trout been introduced, for several years. The fishery contains excellent self- sustaining populations of brown and rainbow trout throughout, although it is felt that there is a predominance of small fish. The majority of BFFC members practise catch and release, and few fish are killed.

  • The Right Hand Man
    It’s easy to take for granted the awesome endeavours of 19th Century railway pioneers which thread us seemlessly through, round or over the nation’s natural barriers. It was an age of speculative adventure, built on innovation, will power and elbow grease. But many magnificent creations were abandoned during the industrial vandalism of the fifties and sixties. In this series of articles, Graeme Bickerdike celebrates some of them. Forgotten Relics of an Enterprising Age The Right Hand Man To some, he was the saviour of Usually this uphill struggle proved the Midland Railway’s Buxton branch the railways; to others, he was insurmountable but, at the western edge bowed to the inevitable.
