  • England Coast Path Stretch Report
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Silverdale to Cleveleys Report SDC 2: Wild Duck Hall, Bolton-le-Sands to Ocean Edge Caravan Park, Heysham Part 2.1: Introduction Start Point: Wild Duck Hall, Bolton-le-Sands (grid reference: SD 4798 6867) End Point: Ocean Edge Caravan Park, Heysham (grid reference: SD 4041 5912) Relevant Maps: SDC 2a to SDC 2h 2.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Silverdale and Cleveleys. 2.1.2 This report covers length SDC 2 of the stretch, which is the coast between Wild Duck Hall, Bolton-le-Sands and Ocean Edge Caravan Park, Heysham. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir
    A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir From 1899 to 2013 this history is based on the writings of Roland Brooke and the first history contained in the original website (no longer operational). From 2013 it is the work of Dr Hugh Cutler sometime Chairman and subsequently Communications Officer and editor of the website. The Years 1899-1950 The only indication of the year of foundation is that 1899 is mentioned in an article in the Lancaster Guardian dated 13th November 1926 regarding the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Mr. & Mrs. R.T. Grosse. In this article it states that he was 'for many years the Conductor of the Lancaster Male Voice Choir which was formed at the end of 1899'. The Guardian in February 1904 reported that 'the Lancaster Male Voice Choir, a new organisation in the Borough, are to be congratulated on the success of their first public concert'. The content of the concert was extensive with many guest artistes including a well-known soprano at that time, Madame Sadler-Fogg. In the audience were many honoured guests, including Lord Ashton, Colonel Foster, and Sir Frederick Bridge. In his speech, the latter urged the Choir to 'persevere and stick together'. Records state that the Choir were 'at their zenith' in 1906! This first public concert became an annual event, at varying venues, and their Sixth Annual Concert was held in the Ashton Hall in what was then known as 'The New Town Hall' in Lancaster. This was the first-ever concert held in 'The New Town Hall', and what would R.T.

  • Lancaster City Museum's Access Statement
    Access Statement for Lancaster City Museum This access statement does not contain personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we offer all our visitors. Introduction Lancaster City Museum. The City Museum is prominently positioned in Market Square. It is within walking distance of both the train and bus stations. Lancaster City Museum is a VAQAS Quality Assured Visitor Attraction. It comprises both the City Museum collection, and the King’s Own Royal Regiment Museum. The ground floor is completely accessible, and can be reached via the main steps or a ramp which is accessed by the entrance to Lancaster Library. The first floor is accessed by the main staircase. There is a stair lift which is regrettably not accessible to wheelchairs which exceed the weight limit. In the event of an evacuation, wheelchair users will be evacuated using the museum evac chair, by a trained member of staff. For this reason, only one wheelchair can be permitted on the first floor at any one time. A Hearing Loop is available. Pre-Arrival Lancaster Railway station is less than 1 mile away and has a taxi rank situated outside. Both major local taxi services can provide accessible vehicles (see p.5 for details). Lancaster Bus station is less than 1 mile away and the route from the station to the museum is up a mild uphill slope. Pedestrian access to the museum is very good. Car Parking and Arrival There is no parking available on site, due to the city centre location of the museum.
