  • Pier Pressure: Best Practice in the Rehabilitation of British Seaside Piers
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Bournemouth University Research Online Pier pressure: Best practice in the rehabilitation of British seaside piers A. Chapman Bournemouth University, Bournemouth, UK ABSTRACT: Victorian seaside piers are icons of British national identity and a fundamental component of seaside resorts. Nevertheless, these important markers of British heritage are under threat: in the early 20th century nearly 100 piers graced the UK coastline, but almost half have now gone. Piers face an uncertain future: 20% of piers are currently deemed ‘at risk’. Seaside piers are vital to coastal communities in terms of resort identity, heritage, employment, community pride, and tourism. Research into the sustainability of these iconic structures is a matter of urgency. This paper examines best practice in pier regeneration projects that are successful and self-sustaining. The paper draws on four case studies of British seaside piers that have recently undergone, or are currently being, regenerated: Weston Super-Mare Grand pier; Hastings pier; Southport pier; and Penarth pier. This study identifies critical success factors in pier regeneration and examines the socio-economic sustainability of seaside piers. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on British seaside piers. Seaside pleasure piers are an uniquely British phenomena, being developed from the early 19th century onwards as landing jetties for the holidaymakers arriving at the resorts via paddle steamers. As seaside resorts developed, so too did their piers, transforming by the late 19th century into places for middle-class tourists to promenade, and by the 20th century as hubs of popular entertainment: the pleasure pier.

  • Dover and Deal in the Nineteenth Century
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society RISE AND DECLINE: DOVER AND DEAL IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY By RAIN- WHYMAN, B.Sc.(EcON.) Part IF GROWTH POINTS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY DOVER EVIDENCE suggests that nearly all the economic and. social indices of Deal were reversed in the case of Dover. As a defensive centre and cross-Channel port the town assumed a growing importance in the eighteenth century. Indeed, a 1721 Atlas specifically pinpointed its castle and the packet boats for France.2 Well before the nineteenth century the Calais and Ostend passages had assumed a major signi- ficance in the life and well-being of Dover, and, in 1805, it was claimed that, 'the money spent by passengers is the chief support of the town' ,3 as against 1811, 'in time of peace this town is a great thoroughfare for persons passing to and from France'.4 Any analysis of the size of nineteenth-century Dover is complicated by the fact that the parish boundary changes in the town have been so intricate that comparable population statistics are difficult to assemble. Various series of figures can be quoted according to the divisions included in the estimates, but in very broad terms the population of Dover increased from 7,709 in 1801 to 41,794 inhabitants in 1901.6 Behind this increase of numbers lay the important functions of Dover as a garrison town, a seaport, a seaside resort, and the principal station on the passage to the Continent, as well as the great works carried on by the state at Dover, from the building of the Admiralty Pier to the completion of the Admiralty Harbour.° Accompanying the growth 'of numbers was an extension of the residential built-up areas.

From 2011-2013 these interests fuelled a project titled Pierdom (http://pierdom.com), for which Roberts toured the British coastline capturing the country’s 58 surviving pleasure piers as well as a few ‘lost’ piers with an old-fashioned 4×5 inch field camera. In a bid to prompt a countrywide discussion on the historical significance of these seaside struc- tures an unusual national exhibition followed in 2014 whereby 13 coastal venues simultaneously exhibited up to five works from the series, including their most local pier.

  • Birchington to Herne Bay Walk - SWC
    02/05/2020 Birchington to Herne Bay walk - SWC Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Birchington to Herne Bay walk Easy coastal walks, passing the dramatic ruins at Reculver Length Main route: 14km (8.7 miles). 5 hours. For the whole outing, including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9 hours. West extension (Whistable) : add 7km / 4 miles East extension (Margate) : add 4.5km / 3.8 miles Maps OS Landranger Map 179, Explorer Map 150 Toughness 1 out of 10 Features This is an easy coastal walk - it is entirely flat - along the north Kent coast. It passes the dramatic landmark of Recluver, the remains of the twin towers of a 12th C church set amongst the ruins of a Roman Fort (free entry, English Hertitage, Wikipedia). In summer there are opportunities for sea swimming throughout (see notes below), and though the walk is almost entirely on tarmac or concrete paths, with only a 1km section beyond Reculver that is on grassy clifftops, there are still plenty of rural delights. After an initial section on the seafront promenade (or cliff top park) of Birchington-on-Sea, a quiet seaside town, you follow the raised sea wall over remote flat marshland (a sea channel until the 12th century: see Points of Interest below), along an unspoilt shingle beach which has interesting wildflowers (in summer) and seabirds: also fine views of distant shipping and windfarms, and the ruins of Reculver church as an aiming point on the horizon. Beyond Reculver your path takes you along the top (or bottom) of a very pleasant grassy slope facing the sea, which again has interesting wildflowers in summer, to the charming, if slightly faded, seaside resort of Herne Bay, complete with pier, beach huts, cafes and bars.

  • An Edition of the Journals of Adlard Welby
    AN EDITION OF THE JOURNALS OF ADLARD WELBY Volume One Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Sue Boettcher MA (Leicester) School of English University of Leicester January 2014 ii An Edition of the Journals of Adlard Welby Sue Boettcher ABSTRACT This thesis comprises edited and annotated transcriptions of four of the six known journals of Adlard Welby, (1776 – 1861), Lincolnshire landowner and traveller. The transcriptions have been made from the original manuscript journals, housed in the Lincolnshire Archives and the Sleaford Museum Trust. They cover the periods 1832 to 1856. Welby’s domestic life was unusual, in that he had two families, one with his wife Elizabeth, and a second, with his mistress Mary Hutchinson. The Italian Journal (1832-1835), is a detailed record of his first three years in Italy, where he lived with Mary and their ten children, after giving up his family estate. The remaining three journals, dating from 1841 to 1856, are a record of his travels in Europe and his experiences following Mary’s death in 1840. He was a thoughtful and outspoken diarist, and the journals provide a unique record of his view of the world he lived and travelled in. The Introduction considers the contents of these Journals together with references to other manuscript letters and documents, the remaining two journals and his only published work, A Visit to North America and the English Settlements in Illinois, (1821). Welby’s writing is placed in the context of nineteenth-century life writing and the travel writing of the period.
