Including Chlorophyllaceous Protophyta JOURNAL OF TEE ROYAL MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY. FEBRUARY 1886. TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY. I.-Frmhwa&w Alga (including Ch/orophyllmeous Protophyta) of tb English Lake District; with descriptiom of twelve mw species. By ALFRED W. BENNETT,F.R.N.S., F.L.S., Lecturer on Botany at St. Thomas's Hospital. (Read 13th January, 1886.) PLATESI. AXD II. Tm following is a record of the fresh-water organisms observed d&g a six weeks' stay in Aupst and the early part of September 1885, in the district between Windermere and Langdale, West- moreland. As nearly every day's observation added some fresh ies to the list, it is probable that the record is a very incorn- one of the microscopic aquatic flora of this very rich district. B 2 Transactions of the Society. Nor does it include even all the species actually observed, but onIy such as previous knowledge or the books at command enabled me to identify, or such as I had reason to believe were hitherto un- described forms. In particular the Oscillariaceae and Diatomacee require niuch more careful working out. The Desmiclieae naturally form a considerable portion of the list. During the year 1884 the most important addition to the literature of this interesting class since Ralfs’s ‘ British Des- midiez’ (1848) has been made, in the publication of the Rev. F. Wolle’s ‘ Desmids of the United States.’ Although something has been clone in the interval by Archer, Cooke, Bisset, and others, yet, notwithstanding the great beauty and variety of the form in desmids, and the ease with which a large number of species can be recognized, it is probable that more still remains to be done in this group than in any other of the English flora. It is impossible to praise too highly the beauty and accuracy of the drawings, as a whole, in lialfs’s work. In many instances, however, niy measure- ments ranged somewhat larger than those of the veteran desmidio- logist. With regard to the distribution of desmids, many species seem to be almost ubiquitous, occurring in nearly all gatherings, from all altitudes. Whether other species are, like those of flowering plants, limited in geographical area or in adaptability to climate, is a question which has yet to be answered, and the answering of which mill be by no means easy. I have thought, however, that I have noticed that the larger and more striking species are especially abundant at high altitudes. Gatherings from about 1800 feet, above Codale and Easedale Tarns, were especially rich in these. Unless otherwise stated, all the species named were observed in the district of Loughrigg, Westmoreland. The gatherings were Fig. 18.--Staurnsti~tm bidlosum Benn. x 400. ,, 19. 11 ,, empty frond x 400. ,, 20. 9) ,, front view x 400. ,, 21. ,, teliferum Ralfs var. conuemm Benn., front view x 400. ,I 22.

  • Grasmere & the Central Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 84 Grasmere & the Central Lake District The broad green bowl of Grasmere acts as a kind of geographical junction for the Lake District, sandwiched between the rumpled peaks of the Langdale Pikes to the west and the gentle hummocks and open dales of the eastern fells. But Grasmere is more than just a geological centre – it’s a literary one too thanks to the poetic efforts of William Wordsworth and chums, who collectively set up home in Grasmere during the late 18th century and transformed the valley into the spiritual hub of the Romantic movement. It’s not too hard to see what drew so many poets, painters and thinkers to this idyllic corner LAKE DISTRICT LAKE DISTRICT of England. Grasmere is one of the most naturally alluring of the Lakeland valleys, studded with oak woods and glittering lakes, carpeted with flower-filled meadows, and ringed by a GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL stunning circlet of fells including Loughrigg, Silver Howe and the sculptured summit of Helm Crag. Wordsworth spent countless hours wandering the hills and trails around the valley, and the area is dotted with literary landmarks connected to the poet and his contemporaries, as well as boasting the nation’s foremost museum devoted to the Romantic movement. But it’s not solely a place for bookworms: Grasmere is also the gateway to the hallowed hiking valleys of Great and Little Langdale, home to some of the cut-and-dried classics of Lakeland walking as well as one of the country’s most historic hiking inns.

  • Living Lakes
    Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders.

  • George Douglas Campbell Eckton
    I Great Langdale Valley, Cumbria: An Analysis of the viability of road-user charging as a Demand Management Tool for motor-vehicle dependent recreation George Douglas Campbell Eckton This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Arts (by Research) degree awarded by the University of Central Lancashire. November 2002 ABSTRACT This research was focused on analysing the potential application of road-user charging to the Transportation Demand Management Strategy for Great Langdale Valley in the Lake District National Park. There were three research objectives: firstly, to investigate the response of motorists to the hypothetical imposition of monetary road-user charges for entry to Great Langdale Valley (Bovaird et al, 1984); secondly, observe the impact of road-user charging on the host community of Great Langdale Valley (Holding, 1998); thirdly, to examine the suitability of the Contingent Valuation Methodology to elicit monetary preferences for road-user charging in a non-laboratory setting. The research methodology employed to elicit behavioural responses to certain price levels for road use was the Contingent Valuation Method (Mitchell and Carson, 1989). Three stakeholder samples were surveyed: visitor, resident and business operator samples. All three were administered with mail-back questionnaires containing hypothetical Contingent Valuation scenarios. Willingness To Pay (WTP) questions to elicit monetary preferences for road use were posed to the visitor and resident samples, whereas the business operator sample respondents were asked for their Willingness To Accept (WTA) a compensation payment for the potential impact of the road-user charging scheme on their trade. The research findings determined that a road-user charge would result in a considerable reduction in the visitor sample's intention to use a private motor-vehicle on the Great Langdale valley road network.

It was once extremely common to add to the name of the deceased further details about where they were ‘of’ or ‘from’. Very frequently the phrase used was ‘of this parish’. One typical inscription reads: ‘Here lieth the Body of joan the wife of walter Williams of Baddon in the Parish of Bridestow’, to take an example dated 1774 from Lydford in west Dartmoor. Other inscriptions may take the form: ‘In Memory of [name], of this parish’, or ‘of the parish of . .’ The wording can vary in a number of ways. Some- times one Wnds the person, or their husband or parents, being ascribed to a certain place rather than ‘this parish’, a place that may be a small settlement or even a house address, through to a large city.
