1021-01 Bamford Primary School PBS19-141 1021-01 Bamford Primary School Fidlers Well, Bamford, Hope Valley Derbyshire S33 0AR PBS19-141: WINDOW REPLACEMENT March 2020 Figure 1: Ashopton Road Elevation. Bamford Primary School – Proposed New Windows – March 2020 1.0: INTRODUCTION: This report looks to provide supporting information to a planning application at Bamford Primary School, in relation to a window replacement within the Main Dining Hall. Bamford Primary School is a local community school, located in the Hope Valley region of the Peak District of Derbyshire. Bamford is a small village, towards the North Western edge of the Derbyshire boundary. Due to the area’s location it is some distance from any major city: Derby - 60 minutes, Sheffield - 25 minutes and Manchester - 60 minutes. Close to Bamford are the popular tourist hotspots of Ladybower Reservoir, Hope Valley and Castleton. Our intention here is to upgrade the windows abutting the Ashopton Road elevation and to improve operation, appearance and thermal efficiency. This document will highlight the design and access considerations for the proposed development and look to explore the history of the building, whilst also considering locality and context. The report will also comprehensively describe the design proposals put forward regarding the proposed development analysing their need and requirement. 2.0: CONTEXT: Bamford Village lies within the Peak District National Park, 11 miles west of Sheffield and 25 miles east of Manchester. It is surrounded by high moorland; to the north are the Gritstone edges of Derwent and Bamford, and to the west lies the peak of Win Hill. The river Derwent flows through the village. Figure 2: The village of Bamford, Derbyshire. 3.0: HISTORY: Bamford’s existence was first recorded, as ‘Banford’ - then a hamlet of just two households - in the Domesday Book in 1086. It grew when a corn- (later converted to cotton-) mill was built in the 1700s at Bamford weir on the River Derwent. Bamford Primary School – Proposed New Windows – March 2020 Bamford remained a small agricultural village until the corn mill, which was burned down and then sold in about 1780, was converted to a water powered cotton spinning mill. The Moore family, who owned similar properties in Manchester, developed the mill and thus the industrial revolution came to the village. The mill is now converted to residential use and the legacy of the generous Moore family can still be seen around the Village in the form of: the Church, the School, the Church Hall and Mill Houses for the workers. Bamford attracts many visitors who come to walk, fish, cycle, or simply enjoy the magnificent scenery. Paths and cycle tracks circle the waters of Derwent, Howden and Ladybower Reservoirs, which are fringed by forests, steep fields and woodlands. The Bamford Touchstones Sculpture Trail commemorates the Millennium, and is a walk of approximately 5 miles around the boundary of the village. A pamphlet with maps and a description of the trail can be found in the Village Post Office and all of the public houses. The annual Carnival with its Well Dressing, Fell Race to the top of Win Hill, and grand parade on the last Saturday is held around the third week in July. Spring Bank Holiday Monday is the date for the Bamford Sheep Dog Trials and Fell Race, now in their 51st year. A bi-annual Community Arts and Crafts Festival is held in venues all around the Village in the autumn. As with many villages in the Peak District, the area developed around its mill in the 1700s and as of the 2011 census had a population of 1,241 inhabitants. Figure 3: Location Map of Bamford Primary School (in the central village triangle). In 1901 work began on the construction of the Derwent and Howden dams, 7 miles from Bamford, in the Upper Derwent Valley. A temporary village for the men working on the dams and their families was built in the Derwent Valley. It was officially called Birchinlee, but was always known locally as ‘Tin Town’, after the style of construction of the workers' housing. Bamford Primary School – Proposed New Windows – March 2020 Up to 2,000 people came to work on the dams, and some families stayed, their descendants still live in Bamford. Ladybower Reservoir, which lies downstream of the Derwent dam, was completed in 1945 and covers 504 acres. Water inundated the villages of Ashopton and Derwent when the reservoir was filled. Some of the inhabitants of these two villages were re-housed at Yorkshire Bridge in purpose built dwellings. In drought years when the level of Ladybower falls, the ruins of the old Derwent village can be seen from the banks. 4.0: THE CATHOLIC PARISH: The history of this Catholic parish is closely linked to that of the Ladybower Dam under which were submerged the villages of Ashopton and Derwent. Derwent Hall, a former shooting lodge of the Duke of Norfolk, became the home of the Fitzalan - Howards. Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Bamford is a Roman Catholic Church which dates back to the mid-19th century. It is a Grade II listed building. It was designed by M. E. Hadfield and built for Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk, who had founded a similar chapel at Derwent Hall. In 1877 a domestic chaplaincy was set up for the Howard family with a chapel (St. Henry) for the staff and villagers. In 1883 a combined school/chapel identical to St. Henry’s was set up in Bamford where the chaplain to Derwent Hall lived. This became the official mission or parish in 1912, with St. Henry’s as its chapel-of-ease until 1944. In 1934 the school at Bamford ceased to function as such and became a full time church. Figure 4: Ashopton Road elevation and the proximity to Bamford Methodist Church. The original chapel was built 1811 but has been subsequently rebuilt and extended. Bamford Methodist Church was built Bamford Primary School – Proposed New Windows – March 2020 5.0: THE SCHOOL: Today, the school itself is located on Fidlers Well, and situated within the central village triangle off the main road through the area (the A6013). The school site is surrounded by residential housing, village shops and open fields. The site comprises of a couple of separate teaching buildings, situated upon an area of approximately 2940m2 in size. General School Information: Pupil Roll: 76 Children (Max. capacity 107). Staff Roll: 15 Staff. Age range of pupils: 4 – 11 years old. Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, at the latest inspection (2017). Figure 5: Fidlers Well, where the site is located. Road access is rather narrow, with a number of the roads adjacent to and near to the site being small country lanes. Although the main road, the A6013, is wider, which runs to the West of the site, a number of cars are usually parked along it in the village area ensuring access is often tight. There is however, a reasonable sized car park to the North of the site, which can accommodate c. 30no vehicles. The site is accessed through any one of a number of small pedestrian access gates off the adjacent streets to the site. The main entrance is via Taggs Knoll. Boundaries are approximately 1m in height, although this varies slightly around the site, within the contours of the natural land. The walls are largely of dry stone wall construction, although areas to the North of the site have been re-built over recent years. There are a number of mature trees and shrubs in areas around the site too. Pedestrian access is from the A6013 via a single access pedestrian gate, and up one small step off the roadside pavement or via a small access gate off Tags Knoll – however, access Bamford Primary School – Proposed New Windows – March 2020 is much tighter down a number of steps, and then across the school playground to get to the building. Contractors and operatives when attending the site can gain access to the site via either method. Parking is available on any roadside, subject to parking restrictions and subject to local council approval, in the small car park to the North of the site, however this is some distance from the area of work. 6.0: DESIGN: In 1997 the Peak District National Park Authority, designated part of Bamford to be a Conservation Area, deemed to be of special architectural and/or historic interest, with character or appearance which should be preserved - so demolition without permission is prohibited. Coursed gritstone is the area’s traditional building material. Generally, the school can be seen as 2 halves. Figure 6: The new single storey building has been added to the East of the school site. There is a new build brick and concrete tile Single Storey Classroom and Office Base, and the main Dining Hall and Teaching block as shown adjacent to the Methodist Church see Figure 4. This does not form part of the works at this time. At this time, works are to the older of the two school buildings. Primarily the Main Dining Hall and Kitchen that abuts Ashopton Road. Here, The Church and adjacent School building is constructed of grit stone walls and stone slate roof. There are a number of ornate stone details: stone eye-brows to the windows, a stone cornice / portico to the main entrance door with a feature stone gable and fascia. Bamford Primary School – Proposed New Windows – March 2020 Figure 7: Window detail – Ashopton Road elevation. Note: In this instance, works are for the replacement – generally ‘like for like’ of the windows to the Main Hall only. That is 8no.

For the moorland lover based on Man­ chester, the only part of the Pennine worth serious consideration begins at a point 6 miles SSW of Skipton on the crest of the Colne-Keighley road, or, as easier of access, at Colne itself, and after a crow's flight of 37 miles roughly SSE ends at the foot of the steep slopes of Kinder Scout a mile N of Edale. We can also include the moors which towards the end of that range extend E and SE to nurse the infant Derwent as far as Ladybower on the main road from Glossop to Sheffield. For about the first 28 miles of that Colne to Edale flight the moors are of the conventional type. Their surface consists mainly of coarse grass with bil­ berry and heather in various states of roughness, culminating in the robust tussocks known as Scotchmen's heads, or (more politely) Turks' heads, which when spaced apart at a critical distance slightly less than a boot's width, thereby tending to twist the boot when inserted between them, constitute the worst going in the Kingdom apart from the rock-and-heather mixture of the Rhinogs of North Wales.

Further three-day surveys were also being carried out in autumn/winter 2005-06, but the returns for these were not available at the time of writing this Audience Development Plan. Groups of visitors were randomly selected and asked ten questions in face-to- face interviews. Respondents were also given post-back questionnaires to fill in at home, containing a further 28 questions. The face-to-face questions all related to audience profile, while the post-back questions included some profile questions but also explored various aspects of the visitor experience. Altogether, 350 groups of visitors were interviewed. About half these respondents also returned post-back questionnaires. The Audience Development Plan sample At the time of writing this Audience Development Plan, the data from the PDNP survey had not been processed or analysed, but we were given access to the filled-in survey forms. We processed a sample of 100 face-to-face interviews with matched post-back questionnaires (35 Saturday visitors, 35 Sunday, 30 weekday) and 50 face-to-face interviews with respondents who did not return post-back questionnaires (15 Saturday visitors, 20 Sunday, 15 weekday).

  • Welcome to Bamford Information Pack for New Residents
    Welcome to Bamford Information pack for new residents A very warm welcome to our village! Hopefully the information in this pack will give you a few pointers to local amenities, services and places of interest, along with some useful contact numbers. produced by Bamford with Thornhill Parish Council bamfordwiththornhill-pc.gov.uk 2020 1. An Introduction to Bamford Bamford is a village surrounded by outstanding countryside in the Peak District National Park; Bamford is situated 12 miles west of Sheffield, alongside the upper reaches of the River Derwent. The Derwent runs southwards to join the River Trent south of Derby; prior to Bamford, it has flowed through three 20th-century reservoirs constructed by the Derwent Valley Water Board; the southernmost of these - Ladybower reservoir – abuts Bamford. The gritstone escarpment Bamford Edge separates Bamford Moor (around 400m above sea-level) from, and dominates the skyline of, Bamford village. Win Hill (463m) to the north and Shatton Edge (400m) to the south are also visible from Bamford, contributing to the village being surrounded by hilly country on most sides. On the map at left, civil parish boundaries are in dark blue. Bamford’s existence was recorded, as ‘Banford’ - then a hamlet of just two households - in the Domesday Book in 1086. It grew when a corn- (later converted to cotton-) mill was built in the 1700s at Bamford weir on the Derwent. The mill closed in 1965, and its attractive buildings are now residential apartments. In the 1800s the Moore family, the mill’s owners, built houses for mill workers; consequently, Bamford has more terraced housing than is usual in a Peak District village.
