    Local resident submissions to the Bristol City Council electoral review This PDF document contains local resident submissions with surnames B. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. 13 February 2015 I have lived in Westbury on Trym village since 1991 first with my parents and then more recently with my own family. I have always valued the community which flows out from the historical village centre, under the new boundaries my home would no longer be part of this community and I would consider this a great personal loss. Surely the history and heritage of Westbury Village should carry some weight and significance when considering new ward boundaries. I fail to understand how it can be seen as acceptable to have the heart of Westbury on Trym Village boundaries moved to fall under the ward of Henleaze, which does not have the historic significance and village community. Also why it is acceptable for the downsized remaning part of Westbury Village to have only one councillor but this is not ok for any other ward. I therefore support the proposal to have a partnership ward with Henleaze and to share 3 councillors between us. I understand this is the only way to maintain the historical identity and preserve the integrity of the whole village. If other proposed changes were to go ahead I have concern for the value of my property as it would be separated from the historic village centre and fear that at some future date could be absorbed onto other wards. I would also like to include the following good reasons

  • Water Power & Severn Barrage Review
    SUPPLEMENT TO THE HISTELEC NEWS AUGUST 2007 "WATER POWER & SEVERN BARRAGE REVIEW" Two of our members, Mike Hield and Glyn England have produced articles pertaining to the Severn Barrage as prelude to the talk by David Kerr of Sir Robert MacAlpine on 10th October. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WATER POWER by Mike Hield Introduction Normally a report on a talk is done after the event, but in the case of the talk on "The Severn Barrage" I thought a preliminary briefing would be of interest. My own interest arises from a career in SWEB as an electrical distribution engineer and my leisure activity as a dinghy sailor and yachtsman. History Man used water power as long ago as 200 BC for grain milling and water pumping, around 1100 AD for "Fulling" woollen cloth and later for processing metals. From about 1700 mathematicians and engineers started to analyse the workings of the water wheel and came to realise that the weight of water in the wheel was more significant than the impact from the flow. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) established his Second Law of Motion - i.e. Force is equal to rate of change of Momentum. Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) a Swiss mathematician developed his equation of motion for non-viscous flow. Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) defined three forms of energy in a fluid ie. height, velocity and pressure; these being interchangeable and the total constant. These ideas formed the basis for analysing the performance of turbines, fans and pumps. Tidal Mills were very rare as they needed to be away from damaging waves and also the relative small size of the mills made them impracticable for large tidal ranges.

  • At September's Meeting Members Enjoyed a Talk
    WI News 2016 September: At September’s meeting members enjoyed a talk about shoes and feet from Ellie Dickens, illustrated with a selection of shoes. A group of some members meet in the village hall to sing for fun, led by a member who is a music teacher. Members and partners were pitted against each other for a game of skittles in Kington St Michael Club. ~ The Autumn Equinox began the day before the WI walking group enjoyed a delightful autumnal walk in warm sunshine, exploring a beautiful circle close to Bristol and Bath, starting at Saltford. The river Avon, colourful boats, great views, interesting history and the countryside on the southern lip of the Cotswold scarp. Lunch was enjoyed at the Old Crown Kelston, followed by a short walk on the Bristol and Bath Railway Path over the river Avon back to Saltford. August: Malmesbury Market Cross was the beginning of our August walk. on a glorious morning with clear blue skies. Descending steps down to Burnivale, then over Daniel's Well, through meadows to the old Silk Mills and St John's Street, with its ancient almshouses and the old Courthouse, we followed the river to Wynyard Mill and on through fields, along an old railway track and across a meadow to Crab Mill. We then joined the main road at Lea, heading past the church and onto the Rose and Crown for lunch. Two more fields brought us back to Crab Mill then onto Milbourne, across the Malmesbury bypass, down Blicks Hill and back to the River Avon.

  • Visit Bristol's Local Nature Reserves
    Visit Bristol’s Local Nature Reserves Special places to visit and enjoy wildlife Go today! Get close to nature, enjoy some green space and take a breather at one of Bristol’s Local Nature Reserves (LNRs). Each one is a special place for wildlife to thrive and where you can take a stroll and watch nature flourish. There are 12 LNRs in Bristol. A further four are pledged to follow as part of Bristol Green Capital 2015. They are all open everyday and free to visit. LNRs are statutory sites protected by law. They were chosen by Bristol City Council with the help of local community organisations and the support of Natural England. Three of the 12 sites are managed in partnership with Avon Wildlife Trust. Bristol is fortunate to have these special reserves – they have so much to offer. This leaflet has been prepared to show you where they are, give you a taste of what’s there and suggest when it’s a good time to wander with wildlife. Look out for walks, events and activities for all interests throughout the year. Lift your spirits in spring • Look out for swollen buds and emerging leaves on trees • See wildflowers start to appear amid newly growing grasses • Smell the wafts and scents carried by warmer winds • Enjoy the dawn chorus, longer days and the birds singing at sunset. Cowslips, © Ruth Coleman 2 Stroll into summer • Meander through meadows and cool down near the river • Listen out for the swishing of tall grasses and trees in the breeze • See vibrant colours and a wide variety of wildlife • Look out for butterflies and insects visiting wildflowers.

  • Naming Shirehampton and the Name Shirehampton
    Naming Shirehampton and the name Shirehampton Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol Shirehampton is a village in southern Gloucestershire, England, which has been absorbed into the city of Bristol. It has expanded into a suburb with a population of 6867 in 1991 (census figure; the precise figure is not readily deducible from later census data).1 Its territory included, until 1917, what was marshland and is now Avonmouth port and suburb. The historical development of its name is easy to follow in broad but unrevealing terms, though there is a considerable amount of problematic detail. In this article I explore what it is possible to deduce about aspects of the processes involved in its evolution, which are not at all straightforward. The paper can also be taken as an object lesson in the lexical-semantic and phonological difficulties of historical onomastics, and in the pleasures of travelling unexpected byways in the history of onomastics and in cultural history. But historical onomastics, in the sense of establishing the etymology of a name, is not the same as exploring the history of a name, and not the same as the historiography of a name. In analysing Shirehampton and its name, we shall look at all of these techniques and processes in detail. In this article I attempt to explore the historical onomasiological questions of what this particular tract of ground has been called over the centuries, and why; the semasiological question of the use of the place’s name or names in derived names (commemoration); and the historiographical question of what scholars have deduced from the place’s name or names: first and foremost the history of the interpretation of the place’s name or names (changing views on its/their etymology, and the consequences of changes in such provisional knowledge), but also changing views about the identification (denotation) of the name or names featuring in the record, and some real-world consequences of that.
