The major objective of the project was to identify individual resources, farmsteads, complexes, and districts of architectural or historical significance that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey was executed during the period from October 2018 to February 2019 by Principal Investigators Rowan Davidson and Robert Short with editorial assistance by Jennifer L. Lehrke and clerical assistance by Gail Biederwolf, all of Legacy Architecture, Inc. It consisted of several major work elements: completing a reconnaissance survey, conducting research, evaluating resources, and preparing an intensive survey report. The boundaries of the survey were delineated as shown on the Survey Area Map. The survey identified approximately 211 resources of architectural and historical interest as well as two potential complexes and two potential districts. Although the resources include a small quantity of public buildings such as schools, churches, governmental and commercial buildings; the majority of the surveyed resources are houses. The purpose of this survey report was not to write a definitive history of the City of New Richmond, but rather to provide an overview of the history of the city in relation to a series

  • Lowry Hotel Offers Five Star Fly Fishng on the Irwell to Guests
    LOWRY HOTEL OFFERS FIVE STAR FLY FISHNG ON THE IRWELL TO GUESTS Champion Angler to introduce guests to Manchester’s rivers FLY fishing for trout has the image of a very expensive country pursuit for business execs in the Scottish Highlands. But now the luxury Lowry Hotel is offering fly fishing trips and tuition in Greater Manchester’s rivers for its residents. The Lowry Hotel’s location on the Irwell, which divides Salford and Manchester, has inspired new General Manager Adrian Ellis to team up with fishing champion John Tyzack, who is a member of the oldest angling club in the world, Salford Friendly Anglers which, founded in 1817 has just celebrated its 198 th anniversary. Only 30 years ago the Irwell was considered one of the most polluted rivers in Europe, Now, after a huge clean-up operation led by the Environment Agency, brown trout, grayling, roach, perch, bream and pike can be caught in the waters. The river also supports wildlife, including kingfishers and otters. Says Mr Ellis: “The River Irwell is really making a comeback along with the rest of the area. It is such a marvellous asset and we want to celebrate its rejuvenation.” He adds: “Our guests are increasingly coming from all four corners of the world and expect top-class packages. They can now enjoy superb fishing trips to go with the retail therapy, sports events and fine dining they can experience during their stay here.” The fishing trips, for both beginners and experienced anglers, will be led by full-time professional fly fishing guide and instructor John Tyzack, of Heaton Moor.

  • Saunders Scholarship Background Parameters
    The Captain Reg Saunders Memorial Scholarship Background The RSL established this tertiary level scholarship for drug and alcohol abuse studies in 1992 for students of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background. The Scholarship was named for Captain Reginald Walter Saunders MBE. In the development of the Scholarship, consultation with ATSIC revealed then, the urgent need for qualified substance abuse professionals among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. As such, the Scholarship required an applicant to follow studies associated with the eradication of drug and alcohol abuse. Where student’s courses did not specifically contain subjects or units dealing with substance abuse, (e.g. nurses aid) the students must be able to provide scope for such studies in their elective subjects and/or field placements. For some years now the RSL administration of the granting of the scholarships has been established through the RSL National Trustees. The Scholarship One scholarship per year of $2000 to a student nominated by the University for agreement by the RSL National Trustees. The successful student must be of good academic standing and have the intention to use their skills or profession for the benefit of the aboriginal community. While a need for the eradication of drug and alcohol abuse remains important in applying the scholarship money, the grants may be used for leadership and personal development of recipients such that on their placement back in their communities they will be better equipped generally to provide a positive example and to advise on and assist in substance abuse among their other professional skills. Half yearly progress reports are required.
