  • Pow Camps Details Issue 3-17
    Banged Up Abroad 1 Research and Notes The information and specifically the tables within this document are a key part of my research into my Banged up Aboard project in which I am seeking to capture as a series of documentary and indexed images the site of the former World War Two (WWII) Prisoner of War (PoW) sites in England, Scotland and Wales1. In complying this data it has become evident that the Camp numbers for whatever reason have been duplicated and a camp may have had more than one number as such it is acknowledged that discrepancies exist within not just my table but also with the source information. This may have in some cases camps being moved from one location to another, a camp being divided and given two number such as one for German one for Italian, or one number for Officers and a different number for other ranks. Also many “Subcamps exist for which I have in the most part been unable to obtain the Camp, in cases like this they have been given a nominal number of 00. The intent is to capture the sites as they are now although as part of the research, I will also be accumulating images and data as to the sites when they were in use during and slightly after the end of WWII. It is intended that the images captured as part of this project will form a historic data source for other to come. This as a project is being undertaken by myself Martin J Richards as an integral part of a Mater in Arts Degree being undertaken by myself through the University of Falmouth: Martin J Richards BA(Hons) ARPS [email protected] [email protected] www.systonimages.co.uk https://systonimagesblog.wordpress.com/ https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=17IZRxuX4uc78_KP5EBdWCD44x0pXaSsc&ll=53.95552704319698%2C- 1.9461109999999735&z=6 It is anticipated that in addition to the basic documentary images produced as part of this project other images and videos along with written work will be produced for formal exhibition.

  • Dover to Cape Wrath by Bike Linda Brackenbury 1
    Dover to Cape Wrath by Bike Linda Brackenbury Cape Wrath Ullapool Achnasheen Skye Mallaig Mull Oban Ardrossan Dumfries Brampton Arran Richmond Malton Caistor Boston Cambridge Great Dunmow Rochester Dover 1 Route Summary: From Dover, the route heads west-northwest on quiet lanes across the foothills of the North Downs, passing through charming Wye and historic Charing to reach the larger historic town of Rochester. Cycle route 1 with many off-road sections is then taken to the ferry at Gravesend where the River Thames is crossed to Tilbury. The route then worms its way north to Brentwood using a mixture of lanes and B-roads which either pass under or over the major roads. The route continues northwards on lanes but latterly on a quietish main road to reach Chipping Ongar from where there's a B-road to Great Dunmow. Continuing northwards through Essex, a B- road takes bikers through Thaxted to Saffron Walden. Cambridgeshire is entered shortly afterwards and cycle route 11 is joined to reach Grantchester, just south-west of Cambridge's centre. Student routes through the west side of Cambridge ensue followed by a B-road to the stage stop at Chatteris; Cambridgeshire is noticeably flatter than Essex! Continuing up the eastern side of England, the Fenland town of March is the next objective. Beyond, a dedicated cycle track leads to a crossing of the River Nene. Lincolnshire is entered at the next drain crossing with the southern part of the county characterised by its flatness, drains and grid-like road layout. Holbeach is reached by quiet straight lanes and beyond, cycle route 1 is followed across The Wash and on to Boston.

Executive summary The River Nith has been identified by SEPA as a pilot catchment for developing an approach to integrated, catchment scale management of water resources. The aim of the project was to identify achievable restoration and management options that provide the multiple benefits of moving water bodies in the Nith catchment to ‘good ecological status’ (under the Water Framework Directive (WFD)) and enhancing natural flood management (NFM), while also considering additional benefits (e.g., improved biodiversity, enhanced condition of specific habitats, socio-economic factors etc.).

    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL SOUTHERN LOCAL PLANNING COMMITTEE: 26 MAY 2006 05/1309/FL: PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF A TEMPORARY ACCESS ROUTE WITH ASSOCIATED OVERLAND CONVEYOR BETWEEN CROWBANDSGATE RAILHEAD, NEW CUMNOCK AND GLENMUCKLOCH OCCS, KIRKCONNEL APPLICATION BY ATH RESOURCES PLC EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHEET 1. DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Full permission is sought for the construction of a 12 km conveyor and access route to link the Glenmuckloch opencast coal site near Kirkconnel with the Crowbandsgate railhead near New Cumnock, via the existing opencast sites at Grievehill and Garleffan. The conveyor will be built within an internal access route following closely the line of the existing track between Grievehill and Glenmuckloch, will traverse a small section of upland moorland between Grievehill and Garleffan and will follow the existing Garleffan haul road down as far as the Garleffan site offices. The conveyor and access route will then continue across a small area farmland before passing under the A76 road and terminating at the existing Crowbandsgate railhead. 1.2 The proposed conveyor system will consist of a fully enclosed linear structure with a rectangular cross section with the structure placed on wooden sleepers at approximately 1 metre spacings. The structure will have coated covers for both top and sides, painted heritage green to minimise visual impact. The top covers will have a curved profile and the dimensions of the conveyor structure will be 1.3 metres high and 1.3 metres in width. The access route is required not only for the maintenance of the conveyor but to allow the movement of heavy plant and machinery to and from the Glenmuckloch opencast site.
