BEATRIX POTTER - THE COMPLETE TALES: THE 23 ORIGINAL TALES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Beatrix Potter | 400 pages | 22 Jun 2011 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780723258049 | English | London, United Kingdom The Complete Tales by Beatrix Potter She established a Nursing Trust for local villages and served on various committees and councils responsible for footpaths and other rural issues. Soon after acquiring Hill Top Farm, Potter became keenly interested in the breeding and raising of Herdwick sheep , the indigenous fell sheep. In she bought a large sheep farm in the Troutbeck Valley called Troutbeck Park Farm , formerly a deer park, restoring its land with thousands of Herdwick sheep. This established her as one of the major Herdwick sheep farmers in the county. She was admired by her shepherds and farm managers for her willingness to experiment with the latest biological remedies for the common diseases of sheep, and for her employment of the best shepherds, sheep breeders, and farm managers. By the late s, Potter and her Hill Top farm manager Tom Storey had made a name for their prize-winning Herdwick flock, which took many prizes at the local agricultural shows, where Potter was often asked to serve as a judge. In she became President-elect of the Herdwick Sheepbreeders' Association, the first time a woman had been elected but died before taking office. Potter had been a disciple of the land conservation and preservation ideals of her long-time friend and mentor, Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley , the first secretary and founding member of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.

Keswick – Crow Park – Derwent Water North Lakes, CA12 5DJ
Keswick – Crow Park – Derwent Water North Lakes, CA12 5DJ Trust New Art: Socially engaged artist residency Artists’ Brief: The view down Derwent Water and Borrowdale from Crow Park Summary of initial ideas and themes: Crow Park was one of the original c1750 of Thomas West’s Lake District “Viewing Stations” and still boasts classic panoramic 360 views across the town towards Skiddaw and Blencathra, and across Derwent water to Catbells, Newlands and the Jaws of Borrowdale. 125 years ago the local vicar in Keswick, Hardwicke Rawnsley, along with his wife and other local people campaigned to secure the Lakes for a much wider constituency of people to enjoy: the vision was that the Lakes were a “national property”, and led to the creation of a “National” Trust, eventually a National Park in the Lakes and finally a “World” Heritage Site. What has been the impact of this vision on the local community, and especially on how they feel about the places on their doorstep, their home turf? And how can we ensure that they remain at the heart of this landscape in terms of feeling a stake in its use, enjoyment, protection, and plans for its future. What we want to achieve: We want to work with artists alongside community consultation to explore what people need from the places we care for NOW and in the future, and how that is different (if it is) from why they came into our care in the first place. In collaboration with our audiences, local partners and arts organisations we will creatively explore alternative visions of the future of this area and test ideas at Crow Park through events and installations working within the leave no physical trace philosophy.

Keswick Youth Hostel 1933 to Present
YHA (England and Wales) Youth Hostel Profile compiled by the Association’s volunteer archivist, John Martin, 2019-04-01 Keswick Youth Hostel 1933 to present Fitzpark Hostel, Station Road, Keswick, Cumbria CA12 5LH Historic County: Cumberland YHA Region: Lakeland, Lakes, North GR: NY 267235 Writing in YHA’s Spring 1983 edition of Hostelling News to celebrate the hostel’s 50th year, Keswick youth hostel warden Bob Barnby described the origins of the building and the YHA’s acquisition: Though much modified over the years, parts of the building are extremely old. In the nineteenth century, when Keswick was a major industrial centre, it was a woollen mill, using water power from the River Greta on whose bank it stands. With the decline of water power and the increasing tourist traffic in the Lake District, the building was converted into Fitz Park Family and Temperance Hotel, and in 1933 it was leased by YHA to become one of their earliest Lakeland hostels. 1 2 Views from before 1933 of the Park Hotel and its largely industrial neighbours. 1: the lower building to the left of the hotel was labelled the Queen of the Lakes Pavilion on ordnance survey maps over many decades from the mid-19th century. Local magistrates granted licences for dancing there in the early 1900s; 2: industrial buildings once lined the south bank of the River Greta downstream from the Park Hotel. The hotel site itself was formerly a woollen mill, and tannery pits have been discovered below the hostel’s ground floor (author’s collection) As early as 5th March 1932, barely a year after the first rush of youth hostels appeared in Britain, YHA’s National Committee was discussing and minuting an early idea: demonstration hostels.
