Grass cutting in Southampton City Council Cemeteries The Cemetery Operatives are responsible for excavating grave spaces and grounds maintenance of Southampton City Council’s five cemeteries. Most grass sections are cut by two teams; one covering Hollybrook Cemetery and Millbrook Cemetery with the other covering South Stoneham Cemetery, St Mary’s Extra Cemetery and Southampton (Old) Cemetery. All sections are cut in rotation and weather permitting this programme will continue throughout the grass cutting session, however grass cutting within all our cemeteries is very labour intensive due to the number of obstructions encountered, and the care needed to ensure that headstones and kerb sets are not damaged by the machinery being used, so progress might still be slower than some cemetery users would expect. Some sections are not cut as frequently as others in order to provide areas where wild flowers, bees and other insects can thrive within the urban landscape. * These sections may contain both non-protected and protected species of wild flowers. Some cemetery owners prefer to maintain the grass around their own graves, if this is the case please contact the Bereavement Services office for advice on 023 8076 6405. 1st cut 2nd cut 3rd cut 4th cut 5th cut Hollybrook Cemetery March/April May/June June/July August/September October/November South Stoneham Cemetery March/April May/June June/July August/September October/November St Mary’s Extra Cemetery * March/April May/June June/July August/September October/November Millbrook Cemetery April to October This cemetery has a designated mowing programme based on specialist wildlife and conservation advice.

Post-Medieval & Modern Berkshire & Hampshire
POST MEDIEVAL AND MODERN (INDUSTRIAL, MILITARY, INSTITUTIONS AND DESIGNED LANDSCAPES) HAMPSHIRE AND BERKSHIRE David Hopkins November 2006 Introduction Hampshire. Hampshire is dominated by the chalk landscape which runs in a broad belt, east west, across the middle of the county. The northern edge runs through Pilot Hill and Basingstoke, the southern edge through Kings Somborne and Horndean. These are large, open and fertile landscapes dominated by agriculture. Agriculture is the principle force behind the character of the landscape and the evolution of the transport network and such industry as exists. There are large vistas, with nucleated villages, isolated farms and large extents of formal enclosure. Market towns developed linked by transport routes. Small scale processing using the water power available from streams was supported by, and eventually replaced by, growing industrialisation in some towns, usually those where modern transport (such as rail) allowed development. These towns expanded and changed in character, whilst other less well placed towns continue to retain their market town character. North and south of the chalk are bands of tertiary deposits, sands, gravels and clays. Less fertile and less easy to farm for much of their history they have been dominated by Royal Forest. Their release from forest and small scale nature of the agricultural development has lead to a medieval landscape, with dispersed settlement and common edge settlement with frequent small scale isolated farms. The geology does provide opportunities for extractive industry, and the cheapness of the land, and in the north the proximity to London, led to the establishment of military training areas, and parks and gardens developed by London’s new wealthy classes.

Towards an International City of Culture
Towards an International City of Culture Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage Strategic Vision Executive Summary This Strategic Vision defines Southampton City Council’s strategic role regarding Arts and Heritage provision within the wider context of the City of Southampton Strategy towards 2026, council priorities, the Southampton Heritage and Arts People initiative (SHAPe), and the sub-regional Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). Southampton is a thriving and growing city with a diverse and dynamic population. However, these developments are in pockets and other parts of the city (economically, physically, socially) remain significantly deprived. We want to transform Southampton from being a gateway to a place of destination where people want to visit, put down roots and engage in community. The City has a fantastic opportunity over the next twenty years to transform its cultural offer and create an overall vibrant cultural soul, a sense of identity and uniqueness that connects people to each other and to Southampton as place. Its rich cultural makeup, internationally important heritage story and nationally dynamic arts and creative scene provide an inspirational resource for exploitation. The significance of Southampton within the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) regional development area will ensure that this potential can be realised particularly within the context of Living Places. Culture is critical to Southampton’s economic development, health and wellbeing and the creation of an attractive image of the city as a place in which people want to live, work and play. Without a vibrant cultural soul, Southampton becomes a divided, anonymous, modern and transient settlement with little civic pride or unique sense of place, and without an attractive, sustainable and stimulating environment that people value.

Silver War Badges
Silver War Badges The Silver War Badge was awarded to most servicemen and woman who were discharged from military service during the First World War. Read more about the badge and the stories behind several awards to seamen of the Mercantile Marine. This article has been researched and written by MAT volunteer Roger Burns. Research Report Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War During the Maritime Archaeology Trust’s Heritage Lottery funded Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War project, scores of volunteers undertook online research into vessels that were lost off the south coast of England during the First World War. Their findings were used to populate the project database and contributed to Site Reports. Both are publicly available via the Forgotten Wrecks website. This Research Report was undertaken by one of our volunteers and represents many hours of hard and diligent work. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our amazing volunteers.

Annual Report 2017 Southampton Natural History Society the 2017 Annual Report
Annual Report 2017 Southampton Natural History Society The 2017 Annual Report Contents Jan Schubert, Secretary Welcome to the Annual Report of the Southampton Natural History Society The 2017 Annual Report 1 for 2017. Last year we experimented with including write-ups of the talks given at our indoor meetings and they proved very popular. So this year Membership Report for 2017 1 we have included more! Particular thanks are due to Daphne Woods for writing notes in the dark, transcribing them and checking their accuracy Peartree Green Local Nature Reserve 2 with the speakers. Garden Wildlife Recording 4 Thanks are also due to the speakers themselves, to Cath Corney for arranging the talks, and to Anthea and Vernon Jones for making the teas Bats — Superheroes of the Night 7 and coffees. It is quite a task arranging such a varied list of talks, so if you have any ideas for a topic or can suggest a good speaker (perhaps someone Bird Aware Solent you have heard give a talk to another group), let Cath know. Raising Awareness of Bird Disturbance 11 It would be great if future Annual Reports also included write-ups of our outdoor meetings. We also need more leaders for our walks. Contact Evolution of Birdiness Julian Mosely or Phil Budd if you are interested. Predatory Dinosaurs and the Evolution of Birds 14 We would also welcome articles from members, both for the Annual Report and for the website. They don’t need to be long — it could be as Itchen Water Meadows 18 short as a paragraph.
