What Is a Boggart Hole?1 Simon Young ISI, Florence (Italy)
What is a Boggart Hole?1 Simon Young ISI, Florence (Italy) INTRODUCTION The boggart—a word of uncertain origins (OED, ‘Boggard, -art’; Nodal and Milner 1875, 126; Wright 1898–1905, I, 326)—was once a much feared bogey in the midlands and the north of England. By the nineteenth century it had come to be associated, above all, with what might be called a ‘greater Lancashire’: the County Palatine, the south Pennines and the northern fringes of Cheshire and Derbyshire. Relative to the amount of writing that survives, most of it from the 1800s and much in Lancashire dialect, the boggart is perhaps Britain’s most understudied supernatural creature. This is true of the nineteenth century (Thornber 1837, 38, 99–104 and 329–34; Harland and Wilkinson 1867, 49–62; 1873, 10–12 and 141– 42; Hardwick 1872, 124–42; Bowker 1883, 27–36, 52–58, 63–72, 77–82, 131–39, 152–58, 174–88, 212–20 and 238–42; McKay 1888), and of recent years (Billingsley 2007, 69–74; Turner-Bishop 2010; Roberts 2013, 95–105; Young 2014b). Boggart place-names have particularly been neglected. In fact, there is, to the best of the present writer’s knowledge, no study of boggart toponyms, despite the existence of tens of boggart place-names, many still in use today.2 1 I would like to thank John Billingsley, David Boardman, Ffion Dash, Anna Garrett, Richard Green, Denise Jagger, Stephen Lees, Wendy Lord, Eileen Ormand and the anonymous reviewer for help with the writing and with the improvement of this article. -

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council 2019 Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) In fulfilment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management Date: September 2019 LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Local Authority Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Officer Department Environment and Operations Address King William Street, Blackburn, BB1 7DY Telephone 01254 267699 E-mail Simon Kirby Report Reference ASR2019 number Date September 2019 LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Executive Summary: Air Quality in Our Area Air Quality in the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. There are four Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in the Borough. They were declared because nitrogen dioxide levels were too high. These AQMAs are located at busy urban junctions where nearby buildings hinder the dispersion of traffic exhaust fumes: - Intack - Bastwell - Blackamoor - Four Lane Ends In general terms, there has been a gradual reduction in nitrogen dioxide exposure, and this reduction became more significant from 2017 onwards. There hasn’t been an exceedance at a relevant receptor4 during 2017 and 2018. -

The Local Development Framework, which will eventually replace the current adopted Local Plan is still in the development stage and as a result there are areas where monitoring of this is not possible. The report is, however, as comprehensive as is possible at this point and provides a ‘snap- shot’ of the borough. The monitoring has been completed using a set of indicators – Contextual, Core Output, Local Output and Significant Effect indicators. The Core Output Indicators used in the monitoring report are those set by Government and will ensure consistent monitoring data is produced each year. -

North Turton with Tockholes Ward Profile 2011 Census
2011 Census - simple statistics for North Turton with Tockholes ward Figure 1 - North Turton with Tockholes ward Introduction This briefing provides a summary of the 2011 Census data for North Turton with Tockholes Ward, arranged under the headings ‘Who we are’, ‘How we live’ and ‘What we do’. The original version of these briefings was based on the simple Census tables available as at January 2013. Since then, much more detailed and complex Census data has been released, but this briefing still aims to keep things as simple as possible. The only use made of the newer tables has been to introduce new or improved age breakdowns where this is felt to be of benefit. Health data is now presented by age-group, so that the reader can make fair comparisons between places with different age profiles. The ‘What we do’ section is now able to focus on the 16-64 age-group, which is probably closer to most people’s idea of ‘working age’ than the original 16-74. 1 March v.2 Introduction 2014 North Turton with Tockholes ward Who we are Figure 2 - North Turton with Tockholes population Population size (2011 Census) by age and sex The previous Census in 2001 found that the Source: Tables PP05 and PP06 population of North Turton with Tockholes was approximately 4198. The latest results from the 2011 Census show that this number has risen to 4345. Age structure Figure 2 shows the 4345 population of North Turton with Tockholes broken down by age and sex. 21.4% of its population is aged 0-19, compared with 28.7% for Blackburn with Darwen as a whole.
