  • Roman Roads in Britain
    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

    Clare in WW2 / The Emergency The Co Clare War Dead Individual Profiles WW2 D Day 1944 - The 2nd US Rangers By Ger Browne The aim of this project is to find out how many men and women from Clare took part in WW2, and the effect of the war on Clare. It is hoped that an extension will be added to the Great War Memorial in Ennis that will include the names of the Clare War Dead from WW2 / The Emergency. At the moment we know that 86 died from Clare as well as in Clare. I would like to thank Keir McNamara, and his late father Peadar McNamara for all their research on WW1 and WW2.

  • 14 Local Centres & Neighbourhoods
    Borough Transport Strategy Draft Final 14 Local centres & neighbourhoods 14.1 Where do we want to be? Croydon should aspire to have a Metropolitan centre of regional importance, supported by a network of vibrant and distinctive local centres, each with surrounding neighbourhoods that are attractive places to live. Local centres should have good urban realm incorporating efficient street design and attractive landscaping but importantly maintain their individual identities. At their core, should be an active and diverse retail area that provides for all the basic needs of those who live in the surrounding neighbourhoods. The ‘high’ street should be well integrated with these neighbourhoods to build in self sufficiency and in doing so strengthen communities. This will help protect vitality and economical viability of the local centre which will make the neighbourhoods more attractive places in which to live. Neighbourhoods should also be well connected to key facilities such as schools, colleges, health centres but also public transport access points such as railway stations, bus and tram stops. This integration should be achieved with pedestrian and cycle routes that are direct and safe for all to users regardless of experience or ability. The impact of vehicles both parked and moving should be minimised while footways should be of good quality, legible, well maintained and adequately lit. Walking should be the primary mode of transport within these areas as it not only promotes healthy living but it helps develop a sense of community by giving local residents the opportunity to meet each other. Cycling to local schools should be encouraged and provided for, while local bus and tram stops should provide a safe and comfortable waiting environment.
