After commenting on the unwholesome nature of lobster sauce and the accompanying nightmares it can produce, he remarked: ‘This naturally brings me on to the subject of Mathematics, and of the accommodation provided by the University for carrying on the calculations necessary in that important branch of science.’ He continued with a detailed set of specifications, not all of which have been met even now. There was no room for the “narrow strip of ground, railed off and carefully levelled, for investigating the properties of Asymptotes, and testing practically whether Parallel Lines meet or not: for this purpose it should reach, to use the expressive language of Euclid, ‘ever so far’”.

Photo 1(left): 1 June 2009. Port Meadow showing the flood-water retreating and mud flats exposed. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Photo 2 (right): 1 June 2009. Southern part of Port Meadow, a former Creeping Marshwort area, now drying mud. Graham Scholey of the Environment Agency and Rebecca Tibbetts of Natural England assess the situation. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Alas Fen Violet is still in trouble at Otmoor – perhaps not dry and warm early enough for this very early species. The Fen Violet exercised us most during 2009 by way of a meeting with specialists from Plantlife and Northern Ireland, in a nation-wide discussion of radical actions notably for introduction on RSPB land. True Fox-sedge looks to be well set-up for the future now that extensive introductions by BBOWT have proved successful. Other plants seem to get on well by themselves – Birthwort (see front cover picture and report on page 4) seems to be proliferating in the ditches of a medieval nunnery just north of Oxford city. Progress continues towards the Oxfordshire Rare Plants Register; photographs are being amassed, and thanks to Ellen Lee’s masterly command of the records we now have some 4000 new records beginning to take form as eye-catching maps.

  • Screening Statement on the Determination of the Need for a Strategic Environmental Assessment
    Screening Statement on the determination of the need for a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 and European Directive 2001/42/EC for the North Hinksey Neighbourhood Development Plan 07/06/2018 SUMMARY In this screening opinion, Vale of White Horse District Council (the ‘Council’) determines that North Hinksey Neighbourhood Development Plan (North Hinksey NDP) does not require a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) or Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) appropriate assessment. INTRODUCTION 1. North Hinksey Parish Council has requested that Vale of White Horse (VoWH) District Council ‘screen’ the North Hinksey Neighbourhood Plan, to determine whether there is a requirement for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and HRA appropriate assessment. This report presents the Council’s Screening Opinion. BACKGROUND 2. One of the basic conditions that a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) must be tested against is whether the making of the NP is compatible with European Union obligations, including requirements under the SEA Directive. The aim of the SEA Directive is: “to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans and programmes with a view to promoting sustainable development, by ensuring that an environmental assessment is carried out of certain plans and programmes which are likely to have significant effects on the environment.” 3. In order to decide whether a proposed NP is likely to have significant environmental effects, and hence requires SEA, it should be ‘screened’ at an early stage, i.e. once the plan remit and objectives have been formulated. 4. Screening is ‘Stage A’ in Government’s six stage approach to SEA for NPs.

  • Oxford Walk & Talk
    Oxford Walk & Talk Duration: 60-75 “River & Stream” mins Updated by Ros Weatherall & Liz Storrar, February 2013 Oxford was defined by its water courses long before the arrival of its University. This leisurely walk will take you along the Mill Stream Walk, following the stream which powered the city’s mill, returning alongside the modern navigable River Thames. The walk 1. From Bonn Square walk to your right, 50 metres towards New Road. Cross the road at the zebra crossing and walk downhill along Castle Street, with County Hall to your right. 2. Turn right at the Castle Tavern into Paradise Street, and follow it past Paradise Square to your left. Cross the bridge over the stream (the Castle Mill Stream) – see the Norman tower of the Castle to your right - turn immediately left (marked Woodin’s Way) and double back on yourself to walk along the Millstream Path with the stream on your left (passing the Europe Business Assembly building to your right). 3. Walk beside the stream and after crossing it turn right to continue on the path – the stream is now to your right, and housing to your left. Where the housing ends turn left and immediately right to pass through a passage beside the housing signed as 1-14 Abbey Place. This leads you to a car park adjoining what is now a building site, where construction of the extended Westgate Centre will begin at some point in the future. 4. Walk ahead across the car park (with a hoarding to your right) to the main road (Thames Street/Oxpens Road).

  • Helen Peacocke with the Copper Kettles Made by Her Father
    Castaway oxfordtimes.co.uk Helen Peacocke with the copper kettles made by her father Photographs: Antony Moore 8 Oxfordshire Limited Edition April 2013 oxfordtimes.co.uk Castaway Sylvia Vetta talks to author, journalist and dog walker Helen Peacocke s a young woman, Helen Helen with Peacocke made a mental list of her border all the things she would like to collie do before she reached the age puppy A of 70. That landmark arrives Barnaby this month — so has she managed to get everything done? “There is still one thing left to do,” Helen revealed. “I want to do a parachute jump from a plane.” This month’s castaway on our desert island, Helen will be well known to regular readers of The Oxford Times as she has written for the newspaper almost every week for 23 years. Working for the newspaper also helped her achieve many of her ambitions — including drinking vintage champagne while soaring above the countryside in a hot air balloon. All in the name of science you understand. But Helen had lived several lives before she sat at her desk at the newspaper’s office in Osney Mead. She was born at the Acland Hospital, Oxford, on March 30, 1943, and brought up in Eynsham. Indeed Helen Richards, as she then was, came from an Oxfordshire family that would not seem out of place in Lark Rise to Candleford. Her grandfather (Helen cannot remember his name) was blacksmith in Burford, and her father, Alfred Harper Richards (better known as Jim. also had metalworking skills. Standing in the open fireplace of Helen’s charming cottage in Eynsham are a set of gleaming copper kettles made by her father, He was obviously a fine craftsman because the spouts are slender and elegant — no mean achievement.
