    Unlocking the potential of the global marine energy industry 02 South West Marine Energy Park Prospectus 1st edition January 2012 03 The SOUTH WEST MARINE ENERGY PARK is: a collaborative partnership between local and national government, Local Enterprise Partnerships, technology developers, academia and industry a physical and geographic zone with priority focus for marine energy technology development, energy generation projects and industry growth The geographic scope of the South West Marine Energy Park (MEP) extends from Bristol to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with a focus around the ports, research facilities and industrial clusters found in Cornwall, Plymouth and Bristol. At the heart of the South West MEP is the access to the significant tidal, wave and offshore wind resources off the South West coast and in the Bristol Channel. The core objective of the South West MEP is to: create a positive business environment that will foster business collaboration, attract investment and accelerate the commercial development of the marine energy sector. “ The South West Marine Energy Park builds on the region’s unique mix of renewable energy resource and home-grown academic, technical and industrial expertise. Government will be working closely with the South West MEP partnership to maximise opportunities and support the Park’s future development. ” Rt Hon Greg Barker MP, Minister of State, DECC The South West Marine Energy Park prospectus Section 1 of the prospectus outlines the structure of the South West MEP and identifies key areas of the programme including measures to provide access to marine energy resources, prioritise investment in infrastructure, reduce project risk, secure international finance, support enterprise and promote industry collaboration.

  • Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality
    Rep. Trans. Devon. Ass. Advmt Sci., 148, 89−130 © The Devonshire Association, June 2016 (Figures 1–8) Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality John Clark MA, FSA, FMA Curator Emeritus, Museum of London, and Honorary Reader, University College London Institute of Archaeology Geoffrey of Monmouth’s largely fi ctional History of the Kings of Britain, written in the 1130s, set the landing place of his legendary Trojan colonists of Britain with their leader Brutus on ‘the coast of Totnes’ – or rather, on ‘the Totnesian coast’. This paper considers, in the context of Geoffrey’s own time and the local topography, what he meant by this phrase, which may refl ect the authority the Norman lords of Totnes held over the River Dart or more widely in the south of Devon. We speculate about the location of ‘Goemagot’s Leap’, the place where Brutus’s comrade Corineus hurled the giant Goemagot or Gogmagog to his death, and consider the giant fi gure ‘Gogmagog’ carved in the turf of Plymouth Hoe, the discovery of ‘giants’ bones’ in the seventeenth century, and the possible signifi cance of Salcombe’s red-stained rocks. THE TROJANS – AND OTHERS – IN DEVON Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was completed in about 1136, and quickly became, in medieval terms, a best-seller. To all appearance it comprised what ear- lier English historians had said did not exist – a detailed history of 89 DDTRTR 1148.indb48.indb 8899 004/01/174/01/17 111:131:13 AAMM 90 Trojans at Totnes Britain and its people from their beginnings right up to the decisive vic- tory of the invading Anglo-Saxons in the seventh century AD.

The most common, B. neritina, was known from a few sites in southern Britain and northern France during the 20th century, following its discovery at Plymouth by 1911. During the 1950-60s it was abundant in a dock heated by power station effluent at Swansea, south Wales, where it flourished until the late 1960s, while water temperatures were 7-10°C above ambient. It disappeared after power generation ceased, when summer temperatures probably became insufficient to support breeding. Details of disappearances have not been recorded but B. neritina was not seen in Britain between c1970 and 1999.

  • Smeaton's Tower Lighthouse (Plymouth, Devon)
    U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Smeaton's Tower Lighthouse (Plymouth, Devon) A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom The base of Smeaton's Tower still in position next to the current Eddystone Lighthouse History Smeaton's Tower is the third and most notable Eddystone Lighthouse. It marked a major step forward in the design of lighthouses. In use until 1877, it was largely dismantled and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe in the city of Plymouth, Devon where it now stands as a memorial to its designer, John Smeaton, the celebrated civil engineer. Smeaton was recommended to the task by the Royal Society and he modeled the shape of his lighthouse on that of an oak tree, using granite blocks. He pioneered the use of "hydraulic lime," a form of concrete that will set under water, and developed a technique of securing the granite blocks together using dovetail joints and marble dowels. Construction started in 1756 at a site in Millbay where Smeaton built a jetty and work yard in the south west corner of the harbor for unloading and working the stone. Timber rails of 3 ft. 6 in. gauge were laid for the four-wheeled flat trucks on which the masonry was moved around the site. A ten-ton ship, named the Eddystone Boat, was based here and took the worked stones out to the reef. She carried the 2¼ ton foundation stone out in the morning of 12 June 1756.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smeaton%27s_Tower ‐ cite_note‐MD‐1 A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S.
