However, this is a long-term undertaking, which will realistically only be achieved by careful, sensitive management over an extended period. To enable this management to be efficient and effective, it is essential to set some realistic goals; this Biodiversity Management Plan for Boggart Hole Clough identifies the biodiversity of the site, sets out what conservation management is required and how it should be progressed. Objectives for important conservation features within this plan are compatible with those being developed for other sites such as Local Nature Reserves, country parks and SSSIs, throughout the country. Objectives for Boggart Hole Clough Park follow the approach used by Natural England and other country agencies. It is important that there is comparability in any objectives used, especially where these are to be used for monitoring or reporting on habitat condition; this allows progress to be measured on things such as Biodiversity Action Plans at national and local levels. -

Introduction to “Our Rivers Our City”, Background and Context For hundreds of years, the rivers flowing through our City have been central to its success – providing water for industry, for wildlife and for communities. The rivers have survived multiple challenges and continue to flow beneath houses, streets, parks and railways. Today, the river valleys of the Irk, Medlock and Mersey include many of the city’s green spaces, connect Manchester to the wider City Region and contribute to the distinct nature of our neighbourhoods. However, the rivers and their surrounding landscape are also the product of their past usage, and need to evolve in order to claim their rightful place in the story of Manchester’s future. In recent years we have come to understand and recognise how essential the environment is to people’s lives, and the positive impact that access to quality green spaces, water courses and wildlife can have on our quality of life, our health and wellbeing and productivity, and how - if we work with nature - we can tackle many of our future challenges. -

Young Boggart Literature
Boggart Dialect Literature and a Handlist of Boggart Works SIMON YOUNG Abstract In the nineteenth and early twentieth century dialect writers from the north, and particularly from Lancashire, often included boggarts in their works. These boggarts, however, were not treated as terrifying supernatural entities, as tradition demanded. Rather, they were a source of comedy, for dialect boggart tales were usually based on misunderstandings, and dialect “boggarts” had prosaic explanations, e.g. a sheep in a cellar, a cow ... The author includes a handlist of thirty four boggart works in dialect. Introduction to Boggart Literature Boggarts are supernatural creatures associated, above all, with the north-west of England: they are frequently described as “fairies”, sometimes as “ghosts”.1 Today boggart belief, even, indeed, in many places, knowledge of boggart belief has died out. But, in the nineteenth century, “boggart tales” were an important part of folk culture in the north and these tales were recorded by folklore collectors, particularly from the 1850s onwards.2 This is all well known. What has not been appreciated is the importance of boggart stories in dialect literature. In the nineteenth century a series of writers, particularly in the north of England, composed stories, poems and even plays in their own dialects. Dialect literature demanded, of course, local themes, and local folklore could be quarried, much as it had been in the Scots renaissance of a hundred years before.3 Not surprisingly, then, boggarts became a permanent fixture of northern dialect productions and, as we will argue below, we can talk of a boggart tradition, above all, in Lancashire dialect literature.
