  • Air Pollution Records from Urban Lake Sediments: the Implications of Datable, Lacustrine Sedimentary Archives for Epidemiology
    Air Pollution XIV 735 Air pollution records from urban lake sediments: the implications of datable, lacustrine sedimentary archives for epidemiology A. T. Worsley1, A. L. Power1, C. A. Booth2, N. Richardson1, P. G. Appleby3 & C. Orton4 1Natural.Geographical and Applied Sciences, Edge Hill University College, Ormskirk, Lancashire, UK 2Research Institute in Advanced Technologies (RIATec), The University of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK 3Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK 4Halton Primary Care Trust, Widnes, Cheshire, UK Abstract Sediment pollution records from several small, urban, man-made lakes from Merseyside and Halton (N.W. England, UK) are presented. They demonstrate that lake sediments can be used to reconstruct atmospheric pollution histories that encompass the entire Industrial Revolution (the last 250 years) in the U.K. Regionally, this was a period that saw the instigation, development and subsequent expansion of major industrial activity, such as iron and steel production, petro-chemical manufacture and power generation, followed by rises in road and air travel. Through the use of analytical techniques, such as environmental magnetism, together with 210Pb dating, urban lacustrine stratigraphic records illustrate that the types and levels of atmospheric pollution have changed temporally. The work promotes the ethos that such archives could be vital to our understanding of past, present and future relationships between human health and the environment. Keywords: atmospheric particulate pollution, lake sediments, mineral magnetism, environmental health. WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 86, © 2006 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) doi:10.2495/AIR06073 736 Air Pollution XIV 1 Introduction Epidemiologists express major concerns about relationships between atmospheric quality and human health [1, 2, 3].

  • Debenhams: the Rise and Fall of a British Retail Institution Rupert Neate
    Debenhams: the rise and fall of a British retail institution Rupert Neate The Gaurdian.com 1 December 2020 Founded in 1778, Debenhams was one of the largest and most historic department store chains in the world. The business was formed by William Clark as a single high end drapers store at 44 Wigmore Street in London’s West End. It rose to become one of the biggest retailers in the UK with, at one point, more than 200 large stores across 18 countries and exclusive partnerships with some of the world’s best-known designers including Jasper Conran and Julien Macdonald. But on Tuesday, the shutters finally came down as administrators announced the chain would be wound down and all of its remaining 124 stores shut, putting potentially all of its 12,000 employees out of work. The demise of Debenhams comes just a day after Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group retail empire collapsed into administration, putting a further 13,000 jobs at risk. In the 1980s and 1990s both retailers had been part of the vast Burton Group, founded by Sir Montague Maurice Burton. Clark’s business remained just the single shop on Wigmore Street until 1813 when he teamed up with Suffolk businessman William Debenham, and expanded into two stores on opposite sides of the street. One was known as Debenham & Clark and the other known as Clark & Debenham. The first store outside London – and an exact replica of the original Wigmore Street shop – was opened in Cheltenham in 1818. “In the ensuing years the firm prospered from the Victorian fashion for family mourning by which widows and other female relatives adhered to a strict code of clothing and etiquette,” the company says on its website.

  • CHRONICLES of THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, with NOTICES of the SUCCESSIVE LORDS of THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &C
    379 CHRONICLES OF THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, WITH NOTICES OF THE SUCCESSIVE LORDS OF THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &c. &c. THELWALL is a township situate within the parochial chapelry of Daresbury, and parish of Runcorn, in the East Division of the hundred of Bucklew, and deanery of Frodsham, co. Chester. It is unquestionably a place of very great antiquity, and so meagre an account has been hitherto published a as to its early history and possessors, that an attempt more fully to elucidate the subject, and to concentrate, and thereby preserve, the scat• tered fragments which yet remain as to it, from the general wreck of time, cannot fail, it is anticipated, to prove both accept• able and interesting. The earliest mention that is to be met with of Thelwall appears in the Saxon Chronicle, from which we find that, in the year 923, King Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, made it a garrison for his soldiers, and surrounded it with fortifications. By most writers it is stated to have been founded by this monarch, but the opinion prevails with some others that it was in existence long before, and was only restored by him. Towards the latter part of the year 923, King Edward is recorded to have visited this place himself, and for some time made it his residence, whilst other portion of his troops were engaged in repairing and manning Manchester. These warlike preparations, it may be observed, were rendered necessary in consequence of Ethelwald, the son of King Ethelbert, disputing the title of Edward.

  • Employment Tribunals at a Final Hearing Reserved
    Case number: 2602342/2018 Reserved EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS BETWEEN: Claimant Respondent And Mr P Kibble Arcadia Group Limited AT A FINAL HEARING Held at: Nottingham On: 16 & 17 December 2019 and in chambers on 13 January 2020 Before: Employment Judge R Clark REPRESENTATION For the Claimant: Mr B Henry of Counsel For the Respondent: Mr S Wyeth of Counsel RESERVED JUDGMENT The judgment of the tribunal is that: - 1. The claim of breach of contract fails and is dismissed. REASONS 1. Introduction 1.1 This is a claim for damages alleging breach of contract. With effect from 9 June 2018, the claimant’s long period of employment with the respondent came to an end by reason of redundancy. He received the statutory redundancy entitlement and notice to which he was entitled under the Employment Rights Act 1996. 1 Case number: 2602342/2018 Reserved 1.2 The claimant’s claim is that those payments did not reflect the enhanced contractual entitlement he enjoyed as a result of two collective agreements made between his employer and his union, the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (“USDAW”). The first agreement dates back to 1976 (“the 1976 agreement”). This was subject to a more recent variation in the second agreement signed off in 1996 (“the 1996 agreement”). 1.3 There is no dispute that those agreements applied to the claimant when his employment commenced in 1981 as they still did when the 1996 agreement was reached. There is no dispute that they provide for enhanced severance terms in case of redundancy and, to that extent, quantum is agreed.

This report contains our final proposals for the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley's boundaries with the City of Liverpool, the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, the District of West Lancashire in Lancashire, the Borough of Halton in Cheshire and part of its boundary with the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. Our recommendations in respect of the review of the Borough of Sefton are contained in Report No. 664. We shall be reporting on the City of Liverpool's boundary with Sefton and Wirral separately. 2. Although during the course of the review we considered the possibility of radical changes to Knowsley, including its abolition, our final proposals involve major change only in relation to the Parish of Simonswood which we are proposing should be transferred to Lancashire. The remainder of our final proposals involve minor changes to Knowsley's boundaries to remove anomalies and defacements. 3. As required by Section 60(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, we have carefully considered all the representations made to us at each stage of the review.
