The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Boscastle to Bossiney Haven Introduction: Although I Have Called This Walk Boscas
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Boscastle to Bossiney Haven Starting point and OS Grid reference Boscastle – Paradise Road (SX096905) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 111 - Bude, Boscastle & Tintagel Distance 6.6 miles Date of Walk 15 September 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: Although I have called this walk Boscastle to Bossiney Haven, really to define the furthest points, there is so much more to it. It is full of interesting features and a great walk. A brief list is: Boscastle St Nectan’s Glen and Waterfall St Piran’s Church and Well Ancient rock carvings Rocky Valley Site of Iron Age Fort Boscastle is best left to the end of the walk. It is a very pretty setting with a river flowing down it. Sadly, the river was almost the end of Boscastle, when there was a severe flood in 2014. However, strenuous efforts mean there is no trace of the destruction now and one could be forgiven for thing nothing happened. St Nectan’s Glen provides a lovely walk through attractive woodlands. These are privately owned and although the public footpath runs through them, this does not unfortunately include the waterfalls area. To see these you have to pay at the café. Whether this is worth the cost is up to you – potentially £5.95 per adult, or £4.70 (2016 prices) for coffin dodgers like me! However, having bitten the bullet and paid up, I thought it was worth it as the main waterfall particularly is amazing. For the best view, you have to “paddle”.

Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 000-000. Arising mainly from its exceptionally varied suites of intrusive igneous rocks, Cornwall has a rich variety of building and decorative stones which were extensively exploited, both for local and export use, before concrete and brick came to dominate construction in the 20th century. Basic igneous rocks include a metabasic rock at Cataclews Point, west of Padstow, which provided the extremely durable Cataclews Stone from Norman times onwards; this was used extensively for medieval fonts and church carvings in North Cornwall. Polyphant Stone, formed by carbonatization of an ultrabasic intrusion, is composed of a mixture of talc, chlorite and various calcium and magnesium carbonates and the Polyphant quarry was recently reopened to supply stone for the rebuilding of Newquay parish church. Allied to Polyphant Stone is Duporth Stone, worked from the cliffs of Duporth Bay, south of St. Austell and used extensively in the pillars of Truro Cathedral. Granites were notably worked in the eastern part of the Carnmenellis Granite (mainly in Mabe parish), in the St. Austell Granite (Luxulyan, Carn Grey and the china stone areas) and on Bodmin Moor (De Lank, Hantergantick, Cheesewring, etc). A significant industry developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries, employing large numbers of skilled quarrymen, with granite exported world- wide. A tourmalinized granite, luxullianite, was an important decorative stone, used for example in the Duke of Wellington’s sarcophagus in St.

  • 1 Sourcing Stone for the Conservation and Repair of the Buildings
    Sourcing stone for the conservation and repair of the buildings and monuments of Britain Graham Lott Abstract Stone for the construction of buildings and monuments has been locally quarried from most parts of Britain’s lithologically diverse geological succession for the last 3500 yrs. Each part of the geological column, from the Precambrian to Quaternary, has yielded stone for building providing a colourful palette of stones for Britain’s stone architecture and monuments. For those involved in conserving these structures this diversity of stone types has itself become an increasing problem as many of the original quarries have long since stopped working and the stones disappeared from the marketplace. This lack of an adequate range of indigenous stones suitable for conservation repair and for sympathetic new build projects is an ongoing concern for heritage organisations, property owners and developers in Britain. There are a number of ways in which this problem is being addressed. It is clearly important to demonstrate the scale of the problem by collating sufficient information to identify those stones (and therefore those stone structures) most under threat. While some vernacular stones were used widely others often only appear in a small number of buildings. A national database of all indigenous stone sources used and an assessment of their extent of use is therefore essential. Subsequent analysis of the data gathered will then allow the identification of those stones which are of critical concern and which might then generate sufficient interest and economic potential for quarry operators to consider re‐opening sites for new stone production. This review is an attempt to give an overview of the former extent of the building stone resources of Britain to illustrate the extent of the current problems of stone supply.
