FOREWORD This is one of the Environment Agency’s new Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs). The Agency aims to protect and enhance the whole environment through the promotion of sustainable development. One way of achieving this aim is through local environment planning and collaborative action with both the local community and other organisations. Over a long period of time a significant part of the landscape of the West Midlands Stour has changed, from rural and relatively undeveloped countryside to built up, intensively developed urban area. This has resulted in significant and varied impacts on the local environment and put pressure on our natural resources, wildlife and habitats. It is our challenge to balance these demands and conflicts and manage the area in a sustainable way. The LEAP process will establish a common vision for the West Midlands Stour area and provide a framework for protecting and improving our local environment. It will raise local environmental issues and, through partnership, will direct resources to where they are most needed. The publication of this report marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year Action Plan. This will outline both the Agency’s and other partners’ actions within the area. Annual Reviews will report on the progress being made. The LEAP process is ongoing and your voice, your involvement and commitment is requested throughout. I look forward to hearing your views. ii. Environment Agency Information Centre Head Office Dr J H Kalicki ENVIRONMENT AGENCY Upper Severn Area Manager Midlands Region 072983 Environment Agency Acknowledgements This report has been compiled by the Environment Agency with contributions from key organisations operating in the area. The Agency is particularly grateful to the County, District and Borough Councils for the information provided, and to the Farming and Rural Conservation Agency (FRCA), an executive agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), for the provision of information on agriculture. Thanks must also go to the West Midlands Stour project group members, the AEG sub-group and to all those who have helped with the production of this document. West Midlands Stour LEAP i Consultation Report Draft Vision for the West Midlands Stour Area The Environment Agency’s vision for the West Midlands Stour area is: "To develop a better local environment in which people can live and work and maintain this, by sustainable management, for future generations." It will be evident from the information provided throughout this document that the LEAP area is subject to considerable pressures. The impact of urban development, including housing, industry and infrastructure has resulted in; pressures on water resources, air and water quality; problems resulting from waste production, and the loss of wildlife and habitat. It is, of course, important that the economic and housing needs of the area are met, but at the same time for the impacts of this development to be minimised. The challenge is to ensure that the needs of all users and the environment are balanced and we aim to do this through integrated and sustainable environmental management. It is important that we realise and develop the full potential of the West Midlands Stour area. By promoting ownership of the local environment and raising people’s awareness, we will work towards a healthy and diverse environment that is valued by, and of benefit to, its residents and visitors alike. The Environment Agency cannot make this vision reality, or effectively carry out the objectives set out below, without the help of others. We will therefore seek to work in partnership with Local Authorities, industry, environmental groups, other organisations and individuals who share an interest in the area. Our key objectives for the West Midlands Stour area are to: * Educate and raise awareness of the local environment and environmental issues. * Work in partnership with local people and organisations to realise the potential of the area and encourage ownership of the local environment. * Maintain and improve the water quality of rivers, canals and groundwater. * Manage water resources in an environmentally sustainable way by balancing the needs of legitimate users with those of the environment. * Reduce the impact of flooding on existing developments, where possible, and resist development where it would be at risk from flooding or may cause flooding elsewhere. * Develop a monitoring programme, in partnership with Local Authorities, to assess air quality and the impact of Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) processes on it and enable improvements to be made. * Promote waste minimisation, encourage the achievement of national waste management targets and ensure the effective regulation of waste. * Protect and enhance river/green corridors, and support biodiversity through the protection and enhancement of species and habitats. * Develop the recreational and amenity value of watercourses and protect the varied cultural heritage that exists within the area as a whole.

As the name suggests it was originally Heathland between Cradley, Netherton and Old Hill. During the early 19th century a number of cottages were built encroaching onto the heath along the banks of the River Stour, mainly occupied by home industries such as nail making. During the industrial revolution Cradley Heath developed and became famous not only for nails but was once known as the world centre of chain making. It was the birthplace for the Black Country Bugle and is thought to be the historic home of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. In fact you would be hard pushed to find anywhere more Black Country than Cradley Heath.

    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.
