    5/20/2011 Great Western Railway ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway ships From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Great Western Railway’s ships operated in Great Western Railway connection with the company's trains to provide services to (shipping services) Ireland, the Channel Islands and France.[1] Powers were granted by Act of Parliament for the Great Western Railway (GWR) to operate ships in 1871. The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

  • A Forgotten Landscape

    A Forgotten Landscape

    Crossing the Severn A Forgotten Landscape School Learning Resources Crossing the Severn Objectives :- To describe how people and animals have crossed the river Severn in the past and present. To create, design and build an innovative way of crossing the Severn. School Learning Resources Under and Over Under and Over - Tiny water voles burrow under the reens that drain the forgotten landscape and the two Severn crossings carry thousands of people over the Severn every day. Starlings and sparrowhawks get a birds’ eye view of the estuary while fossils lie just underneath its surface. School Learning Resources Make your Severn crossing You are going to design and make a new innovative way to cross the river Severn. You need to use the materials provided to create a model of your design. Your model must be able to support the lego man across the river. When you have you model come back and test it. School Learning Resources Your design Look at the following slides and take inspiration from designs from the past, present and future. Think about whether you will go under or over the river, whether you will use the water or try to keep dry. School Learning Resources Over - Second Severn Crossing Over - Severn Bridge Under - The Severn Railway Tunnel School Learning Resources Severn Bridge The Severn Bridge is a suspension bridge, carrying the M48 across the river Severn and river Wye. It leaves Aust and arrives in Chepstow, via support in Beachley on a peninsula. The bridge replaced the Aust ferry in 1966, and was granted Grade 1 listed status in 1999.

    Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North

    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

    DORSET FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO. 69 Autumn 2014 TEN WALKING MISTAKES TO AVOID alking the right way can help you walk faster and more smoothly. Walking the wrong way can lead Wto wasted effort or even injury. The Human Resources team at McMaster University have come up with 10 walking mistakes to avoid, some are fairly obvious but still worth stating. 1: Over striding - When walkers try to walk faster, a natural inclination is to lengthen your stride in front, reaching out further with your forward foot. This leads to an ungainly gait, striking hard with the feet and making your shins hurt. The cure: All of the power of your walk comes from pushing with the back leg and foot; concentrate on taking shorter, quicker steps then think of really rolling through your step with your back foot and leg, getting a good push off. 2: The Wrong Boots – Heavy, stiff, too small when foot swells while walking. The cure: Get fitted for the right boots that are flexible enough for walking and sized right for those swelling feet. 3: Flapping, Slapping Feet - Your feet hit the ground with a slap and get no roll. You may develop shin pain. The cure: Get flexible boots that bend at the ball of the foot. 4: No Arms - You keep your arms still at your sides while walking, or swing them without bending them. You notice that your hands swell quite a bit while walking. A normal walking motion uses the arms to counterbalance the leg motion.

It connects Gloucester to Sharpness, allowing boats to bypass a treacherous stretch of the River Severn. From the canal, there are spectacular views of the Severn Estuary, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds. At Gloucester Docks, you can get a real sense of the canal’s cargo-carrying heritage. Listed warehouses have been converted into shops and leisure facilities, and the marina is still busy with boats. The National Waterways Museum Gloucester tells the story of the canal and has a fascinating collection of historic boats. Cruising Notes The mighty River Severn is Britain's longest river. It runs for 220 miles from the Welsh mountains, through the beautiful Shropshire and Worcestershire countryside and down to the flatlands of the Severn estuary.

    The Development of the Railway Network in Britain 1825-19111 Leigh Shaw-Taylor and Xuesheng You 1

    The development of the railway network in Britain 1825-19111 Leigh Shaw-Taylor and Xuesheng You 1. Introduction This chapter describes the development of the British railway network during the nineteenth century and indicates some of its effects. It is intended to be a general introduction to the subject and takes advantage of new GIS (Geographical Information System) maps to chart the development of the railway network over time much more accurately and completely than has hitherto been possible. The GIS dataset stems from collaboration by researchers at the University of Cambridge and a Spanish team, led by Professor Jordi Marti-Henneberg, at the University of Lleida. Our GIS dataset derives ultimately from the late Michael Cobb’s definitive work ‘The Railways of Great Britain. A Historical Atlas’. Our account of the development of the British railway system makes no pretence at originality, but the chapter does present some new findings on the economic impact of the railways that results from a project at the University of Cambridge in collaboration with Professor Dan Bogart at the University of California at Irvine.2 Data on railway developments in Scotland are included but we do not discuss these in depth as they fell outside the geographical scope of the research project that underpins this chapter. Also, we focus on the period up to 1911, when the railway network grew close to its maximal extent, because this was the end date of our research project. The organisation of the chapter is as follows. The next section describes the key characteristics of the British transport system before the coming of the railways in the nineteenth century.

These control systems would include: • A central motorway control centre to manage the New M5 when it is operational • Traffic monitoring and management systems along the project • Air quality monitoring and management systems within the main alignment tunnels • Incident and emergency response infrastructure • Maintenance facilities • Motorway tolling infrastructure. Motorway control centre A WestConnex motorway control centre would be provided within the Burrows Road motorway operations complex (MOC5) (refer to Figure 5-42). The motorway control centre would be the central building for all communications and control of the project’s operational management control systems. The motorway control centre would be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and would require around 26 full time equivalent staff. The motorway control centre would include a video wall and operating interfaces for all monitoring and control systems, an incident control facility, training and incident response room, air conditioning, power supply systems and workforce facilities (ie amenities). An indicative layout of the motorway control centre is shown in Figure 5-42. Urban design principles would be applied to the motorway control centre to integrate the building with St Peters interchange and the surrounding landscape to minimise its visual impact.
