  • The Saltford Brass Mill Project – a Decade of Industrial Archaeology
    The Saltford Brass Mill Project – A Decade of Industrial Archaeology Tony Coverdale, Chair, Saltford Brass Mill Project Introduction Saltford Brass Mill is a Scheduled Monument and Grade II* listed building located on the River Avon mid-way between Bath and Bristol1. The mill, which is adjacent to Kelston Weir which provided its power source, was in operation as a water-powered brass-battery and rolling-mill from 1721 until 1925. But Saltford mill was not an isolated facility; it was part of a conglomeration of metal-working sites operated by the Bristol Brass Company which smelted copper, melted brass, produced brass pans, kettles, sheet metal and wire, and transported those materials to Bristol for export. The company traded under various names including: the ‘Bristol Brass Company’; the ‘Bristol Brass and Wire Company’; the ‘Brass Battery and Wire Company of Bristol Esher Upper Redbrook and Barton Regis ‘; and the ‘Harford and Bristol Brass Company’. The brass company was at its peak in the late 1700s but contracted dramatically in the early 1800s as its overseas markets diminished and the company was subject to competition from Birmingham. By 1814, the company had reduced from nine sites to three: Avon Mill and Chew Mill in Keynsham and Saltford Mill. Harfords advertised the company for sale in 1828 and eventually leased the company to Charles Ludlow Walker in 1833. By 1855 Saltford Mill was described as ‘old and decaying’. Further attempts were made to sell the company which was eventually bought by the Bain brothers, Donald and David, in 1862. The brothers carried out some modernisation of Saltford Mill in 1881 allowing battery and rolling to continue for a number of years.

Defining the West of England’s Genius Loci: ‘Land of Limestone and Levels’ to Lateral Thinking. Preprints 2017, 2017080100 (doi: 10.20944/preprints201708.0100.v1). Abstract The County of Avon in England was abolished in 1996 and replaced by four unitary planning authorities. Recently the authorities have been working closely to develop a West of England Joint Spatial Plan to facilitate better integration of policies on transport, housing, the environment etc. The Joint Spatial Plan team commissioned a multidisciplinary study to investigate whether the West of England has special characteristics of 'place' that engender shared interest and regional affinity, i.e. ‘sense of place’, to which emerging planning policies might positively respond. In this regard the present article is particularly focused on identifying whether the West of England has unique and unifying landscape characteristics, relating to topography, rural scenery, and flora and fauna, which combine with human experiences to distinguish the Region from adjoining areas. It is concluded that the West of England does indeed have real geographical integrity, being bound on all sides by attractive and prominent landscape features - the Mendip Hills, Cotswold Hills and Severn Estuary – that contribute to a sense of identity and belonging among its inhabitants.

  • THE BATH REGION from Late Prehistory to the Middle Ages Mick
    THE BATH REGION from Late Prehistory to the Middle Ages Mick Aston Introduction This essay is concerned with a city in its region over a long period. Bath is a good example to study, for two reasons. Firstly, the city itself and the region around have been well examined by anti­ quarians over several centuries - very many sites have been located from late prehistoric to medieval times. Much of the early landscape also remains in the form of earthworks and abandoned field systems. Secondly, Bath itself has been occupied for a long, but reasonably certain· length of time. Unlike most towns and cities, something is known of the origins of the place and how and why it developed. Its close relationship with its hinterland over two millennia has, however, not been studied and that is the aim of this essay. The Physical Background Bath lies at the southern end of the Cotswolds, on the river Avon and 30km inland from the Severn estuary. The surrounding region is very 'unEnglish' in terms of its scenery. The city lies in a deep valley with steep slopes all around, rising to almost level flat-topped plateaux at Lansdown (to the north-west), Charmy Down (to the north-east), Bathampton, Claverton and Combe Downs (to the east and south-east), and Odd Down and Southdown (to the south and south-west). There is little flat land in the stream and river valleys in the Bath region, except at Bath itself and around Bathford and Bathampton. The sides of the valleys are steep, with deep combes everywhere.

  • 2019-24 Control Period 6 Western Strategic Business Plan
    2019-24 Control Period 6 Western Strategic Business Plan A summary of our plans submitted to Office of Rail and Road February 2018 2 Contents 04 Introduction 05 Our purpose Our vision Our strategic priorities 06 Our plans for CP6 Delighting our customers 08 Affordable and efficient 10 Support jobs, housing and growth CP6 projects to grow or improve the railway Choices for funders 11 Great people and great culture 3 Western The Great Western Mainline is undergoing its most significant upgrade since it was built by Brunel over 175 years ago. Our Control Period 6 plan funds services to realise and support significant passenger benefits, particularly more services and new connections, enabled by the investment in Control Period 5. By the end of CP5 we will have electrified the route from Paddington to Reading, Bristol and Cardiff and from Reading to Newbury, modernised signalling and infrastructure, and enabled the biggest fleet upgrade in a generation benefiting passengers across the whole route. In early 2019 passengers will benefit from the introduction of a new timetable which, combined with the new trains already delivered, will further improve their journeys, providing more services with more seats, faster journey times and new connections. This has been a tremendous achievement and is the result of unprecedented levels of public investment from Government; the support of our customers, the train and freight operators; and of course passengers, line side residents and businesses across the route. From 2019 we will enable higher frequency, long distance services across the route together with a new train service – the Elizabeth line – offering passengers a metro frequency service and new connections from Reading into and across Central London.
