Rail link boost

The Government’s budget commitmentto improving the rail link betweenSheffield and Manchester has beengenerally welcomed. Chancellor GeorgeOsborne gave the green light as part of a£130m investment in the ‘Northern Hub’with the aim of encouraging economicgrowth.

The package, designed to improvepassenger and freight routes, includes anextra track and platform at Dore, a newpassing loop at Grindleford or Dore andbigger capacity at Chinley, at the sametime as Network Rail renews signallingand track.

More trains are being promised betweenSheffield and Manchester and a reductionin journey times of about five minutes.The capacity enhancements, especiallythe doubling of the track at Dore, shouldimprove reliability.

The Department for Transport believestrain operators will be encouraged to runmore and longer trains, after years ofcomplaints that seats are not alwaysavailable.

The exact timetable for theimprovements will be in the hands ofNetwork Rail, but the Governmentexpects the Hope Valley scheme to havebeen completed by the end of 2018.

The case for the electrification of theSheffield to London main line is beingassessed as part of a review to bepublished by the end of July.

School recreates history

On Thursday 27th March Year 4 childrenat Bradway Primary School held theirown VE Day to celebrate the end of awhole term topic on the Second World.

Guests of honour at the event were localresident Jim Pass, a veteran of both theDunkirk Evacuation and the NormandyLandings and Peter Stubbs, of BradwayAction Group. Jim gave the children a talkon his experiences during the war andthen joined them for a special VE Daylunch of typical 1940s sandwiches, cakesand the ubiquitous cup of tea.

Following lunch the children entertainedthe guest with a performance of the‘Jitterbug’ to Glen Miller’s ‘In the Mood’.After several weeks practice their moveswould rival any of those seen on StrictlyCome Dancing. Jim couldn’t resist gettingup to join in.

The topic was filled with lots of funfilled activities, which really brought tolife the Second World War for the eightand nine year olds. The children read andwrote stories about evacuees, met a ‘real-life’ evacuee, Mrs Gisela Eisner, a pupil’sgrandmother, who had been evacuated outof Berlin on a ‘Kinder Transport’ in 1938and took part in a mock evacuation wherethey were ‘shipped’ to different parts ofthe school, wearing 1940s clothes and gasmasks.

Another exciting cross-curricular eventwas the Rationing Masterchefcompetition, where the pupils, created,prepared and promoted their own recipes

Wettest ever April

Last month was the wettest April inSheffield since records began in 1882.Weston Park weather station recorded153.4mm of rain, beating the previousrecord of 151.5rnm, set in 2000.

Although there is no shortage of waterin reservoirs, and there is no hosepipeban in the area, a drought designationremains, with consumers urged to usewater wisely.

Editorial

Well it looks like we must wait evenlonger for the new park and ride at Doreand Totley Station, while the search is onfor the money to build a new pedestriancrossing. Still people can always walktowards Sheffield and use the newcouncil funded crossing near the modelrailway entrance. Not that we wouldrecommend it.

The crossing has been sited just wherethe road narrows and has already causedcrashes, while there is hardly room on thecarriageway for large lorries going in theSheffield direction. Several pedestrianshave also reported that while on the‘island’ they have been swept off theirfeet by the passing draft from such heavygoods vehicles.

Why couldn’t the money have beenused for a crossing opposite the station, afar busier location? Still, the longoverdue moving of the 30 mph limittowards the Hamlet means traffic is atleast a little slower for those taking theirlives in their hands (a strange phrase)when crossing the road outside thestation.

By the time we next go to press theOlympics will be over, we will all be alittle poorer, and maybe some Britishcompetitors will be clutching gold. Butlike with everything else nowadays, thegovernment just doesn’t seem to thinkthrough its policy decisions.

Who I wonder considered what theimpact of holding the Olympics would bebeyond London. For a start, other eventsduring the inevitable telethon are doomedto failure, as people sit glued to the smallscreen (well some anyway). Already wehave lost this years Norton Show for thisreason. What next I wonder?

In the meantime lets hope the weatherimproves and that we get some sunshine.

No Norton Show

Norton Show is traditionally held on thesecond Saturday in August, this yearfalling on the 11th, which is also thepenultimate day of the Olympic Gamesand therefore a busy one.

We have made enquiries as to whetherpeople would choose to visit the Show orto watch the Games on television. Overhalf said that they would watch theGames as it was a special event in thiscountry.

We are a small Committee and rely onthe support of able-bodied youngergroups to help us erect the tents and themarquees during the week leading up tothe Show, and we cannot be certain thatthey would be available to help. We arealso aware that our financial incomecould be greatly reduced.

After much consultation, debate, anddiscussion, the Committee hasreluctantly decided to cancel the NortonShow for this year. We apologise to allour loyal supporters, visitors, participantsand competitors, stall-holders, tradersand car-booters for the upset to yourplans.

Enjoy watching the Olympics, andplease be ready to support us next yearwhen we will be back at the Showground,Bochum Parkway, on the secondSaturday in August 2013.

Festival on the move

The Cliffhanger outdoors festival onJuly 7 and 8 - the UK’s biggest outdoorsevent - is moving from Millhouses toGraves Park, which is bigger and haswoodlands for trail racing. It will featuredemonstrations, have-a-go activities, theBritish Bouldering Championships, a livemusic stage and on-site camping.

Park and Ride

South Yorkshire Passenger TransportExecutive successfully bid last year forfunding to upgrade facilities at Dore andTotley station. This involves developinga 130 space park and ride scheme on thesite of the former garden centre, whichwill help resolve on-street parkingproblems and open up options for peoplewho want to travel into the city centreand beyond.

Although funding for the stationimprovements has been obtained there isstill a need to secure the balance requiredto cover the adjacent pedestrian crossing,which is a condition of the planningpermission. This means that it is highlyunlikely that development works willbegin on the site before autumn.

New Safer NeighbourhoodTeam Boundaries

As you may be aware from localmeetings, there is to be a reduction in thenumber of Safer Neighbourhood Teamsin Sheffield from Ten to Seven.

There will not be a reduction in thenumber of Police Officers and PCSO’sworking within the Sheffield district, thechange is to allow for the geographicalboundaries of the Safer NeighbourhoodTeams to align with those of the SheffieldCommunity Assembly Areas.

The change should allow for betterpartnership working between the Policeand other agencies, such as the council,through the teams working within eachagency having the same geographicalarea of operation.

The new structure came into being on1st April 2012.

Overall turnout 32.77%Just how popular politicians of all

parties are was reflected in a general 9%drop in turnout from last year across thewhole city. Not surprisingly electors alsorejected government proposals for anelected mayor in Sheffield.

continued from page 1 ......using Wartime Britain rations.The highlight of the topic was a trip to

Eden Camp, the War Museum in NorthYorkshire. A day here is never enoughand the children were sad to leave. It wasgreat to see them closely studying thedisplays, rather than rushing past as isoften the case. Many of the facts hadbeen taught and learnt during lessons andthe children enjoyed seeing models andexhibits which brought their learning tolife.

“This has been the best topic ever”shouted the children as they said goodbyeto Jim and fellow guests at the end of theVE Day celebrations. It might not havebeen the actual date but it was certainly aday to remember.

We were delighted to welcome localresidents, Jim Pass and Peter Stubbs toour VE day and Mrs Gisela Eisner’s visita few weeks before really opened thechildren’s eyes to way that war affectedso many lives. The school is always keento gain a local perspective of history.

Indeed on the 1st of June 2012 we willbe celebrating the Diamond Jubilee herein school and if any of your readers havelocal tales to tell of events around TheQueen’s accession to the throne in 1952or her Coronation in 1953 we would loveto hear your stories. Also if any readerwould like to come in to school to discusstheir experiences with the children theywould be guaranteed a warm welcomeand an attentive audience.

Neighbourhood Watch

As reported elsewhere in this edition inof The Bradway Bugle, on 1 April theboundaries of the Sheffield SaferNeighbourhood Areas (SNAs) werechanged to coincide with those of theCommunity Assemblies. For most ofBradway this means that ourneighbourhood policing team haschanged.

Instead of coming under the WoodseatsSafer Neighbourhood Team, we nowcome under the South West SNT, joiningDore and Totley. The exception to this isLower Bradway (from Beauchief Drive /Fox Lane to the junction of BradwayRoad with the Greenhill Parkway).

That part of Bradway has always beentreated for policing purposes as anextension of Greenhill, and will continueto come under the Woodseats SNT. It willalso continue to be covered by theGreenhill Neighbourhood Watch.

For the rest of Bradway, the change tothe new policing team will also mean achange in the organisation ofNeighbourhood Watch. Before the SNAswere introduced, there was a Bradwayand Totley NHW and a separate DoreNHW.

When the SNAs first came into being,the dividing line between the Woodseatsteam and the South West team leftBradway on one side and Totley on theother, so Totley joined with Dore andBradway continued to have a separateorganisation.

Now it makes sense for the liaison withthe police all to be handled by a singleNHW grouping, so Bradway will joinDore and Totley and the co-ordinationwill be done by Keith Hill, who wasalready the Dore and Totley NHW co-ordinator.

Following the addition of Bradway tothe responsibilities of the Dore andTotley policing team, it has beenexpanded by the addition of a new policeofficer. The team now consists of twopolice officers, PC Kevin Marsh and PCMartyn Civil, and one police communitysupport officer, PCSO Katie Gavin.They can be contacted on the LocalPolice number 101 or via email which is:

Keen to help

Like a lot of people, local 6th formstudent Gabriella Shaw* has been upsetby footage on TV of children dyingaround the world because of a lack ofsafe water. It had such an impact on herthat she decided to help in the only wayshe could, practically with her own time.

Some research quickly established thatRaleigh International, a charitableorganisation who specialise in voluntaryhumanitarian expeditions, are travellingto Borneo this summer. All she needs tojoin them is to raise £3,300.

Starting with her own savings,Gabriella has set to the task, offeringbabysitting (CRB checked and 1st Aidtrained), car wash sessions, Coffee &Cake mornings, a quiz night at the CastleInn, home cooking and a raffle.

If you haven’t been able to attend one ofher events but would like to help bydonating a small amount please go tohttp://www.justgiving.com/Gabriella-Shaw its easy. She will be delighted.

Bradway Community Association

Although the Bradway CommunityAssociation has been in existence forover fifty years, there are probably manylocals to whom the name is not familiaror do not know what current activities areorganised by it.

It was founded in the Birchitt Road areaat the time the houses were first builtthere and members gradually joined asthe new housing in Bradway developed.There were many young couples withchildren in the area at that time who wereinstrumental in setting up the CommunityAssociation, and the emphasis was notonly on social occasions but also onproviding a youth club in the area.

Over the years sporting activities wereadded to the Youth Club with tennis,table tennis, badminton and bridgeplayed by members in a number of locallocations. For a short time there was alsoan Art Group. Family activities alsofeatured with family rambles onSundays, an annual bonfire when landwas available until all the houses werefinished in the Rosamond and Everardarea, and a children’s party and carolsinging in the Castle at Christmas.

Of these there is still a walking groupwhich enjoy walking 5-8 miles in theSheffield area and Peak District on thefirst Sunday in the month and abadminton group which plays in theScout Hall at Bradway every Thursday

evening 8.30-10pm.Over the years we have also raised

money for mainly local charities, themain fundraiser being an annual Fun Runwhich was held for eleven years between1988 and 1998 raising just over £25,000.

More recently we have supported theRefurbishment of the BradwayCommunity Hall via profits made at oursocial events and at our recent annualgeneral meeting we voted to continuesupporting the Hall with its plans for therefurbishment of the Mission Hall.

Although we do not have as manyactivities as formerly, we still have anactive social calendar in which most ofthe events are held in the newlyrefurbished Community Hall, apart fromthe annual treasure hunt, which is a walkaround hunt in one of the local villages.

This year we have held a quiz night, amurder mystery night and a beetle drive.For the future, we plan a Street Party onMay 26th (in the Hall in anticipation ofinclement weather) to celebrate theQueen’s Diamond Jubilee, a Salmon andStrawberry evening on July 7th and aTreasure Hunt on Sunday July 29th. Inthe Autumn we hope to hold a race night,a cheese and wine tasting evening and aChristmas Celebration. A regularnewsletter is sent round to members tokeep them informed about future events.

New and old members would bewelcome at any of our events. GwenSmithson 236 9876 can be contacted forgeneral queries, Jean Hunter 236 4922for social events, John Child 237 6577

for badminton or Peter Smithson 2369876 for details of the walking group.

A refreshing break

As you enjoy a refreshing break in anew coffee shop at Millhouses,convenient for the park and local shops,you might be surprised to discover that itis run by two nurses. Suze Goodman andSheila Clapham met as young SRNs over30 years ago and became life-longfriends sharing a mutual dream to oneday open their own tearoom. Now thatdream has been realised at the VanillaCoffee Shop at 984 Abbeydale Road,where they are proving that there’s a bigcross-over between looking after patientsand keeping customers happy. Althoughthey are both still keeping their hands inworking part time as nurses, the cafe isopen every day thanks to the help of twomembers of Suze’s family.

The Vanilla Coffee Shop aims to uselocally sourced food and drink, includingYorkshire Crisps, Sheffield Honey,Catherine’s Choice preserves andHeavenlies Cakes. It serves old-fashioned treats like iced gem biscuits,Tunnock’s teacakes, Horlicks andOvaltine alongside hand-madesandwiches and soups, jacket potatoesand salad platters. It also has its ownblend of freshly ground coffee which isroasted in Sheffield.

So next time you fancy a treat give thema visit – you’ll be in safe hands.

Dear Sir,May Day, Bradway School,1948This is a photo of the whole school

celebrating May Day and the crowning ofthe May Queen and her consort.Following this, there would be a picnicon the playing fields and we would danceround the maypole watched by parentsand the school’s pet rabbit (from hishutch)!

I can identify some of the children onthe front row from left to right.

The Queen and Consort (I can’tremember if they were the retiring pair)are Paul Coffey and Joy Grassick. TheQueen standing alone, is Judy Tidy. Theboy holding her train is John Holmes andnext to him is Jeanne Blantern. The tallergirl at the end of the front row is PamelaIngram of Bradway Road.

Each year, the Queen had to choose aflower and thus she would be crowned -“Rose or Margeurite etc”. It was amagical ceremony and made a lastingimpression on me.

Jeanne Mary BlanternP.S. The school cook at that time was a

Mrs.Greatorex who lived in the cottagesopposite the school.

Dear Sir,In the Autumn 2011 edition of the

Bradway Bugle, John Kirkman wrote atsome length about our garden birds andtheir predators. He started his article bydescribing the Sparrow Hawk and it’snatural liking for Tits, Finches andSparrows.

Backing on to farm land on ProspectRoad, our garden is visited regularly bythe usual culprits feasting on nut and seedfeeders. I have to say that I have neverseen a Sparrow Hawk, that is untilThursday 3rd May.

Perched like a statue on a post at the topof the garden, a majestic Sparrow Hawksat for around ten minutes, presumablywaiting for a meal to appear. They musthave known though, not another bird insight, not even the Wood Pigeons!

Eventually it was disturbed by next

door’s cat as it strolled across the lawnand it took flight across the field. Theother birds reappeared shortlyafterwards.

So there is at least one Sparrow Hawkaround Bradway, possibly a pair.

Keep your eyes peeled, it really is awonderful sight to behold.

Stephen CoatesDear Sir,50+ Mobility IssuesWhat choices do people with mobility

difficulties have when it comes to gettingaround? We can drag a manualwheelchair around the 7 hills ofSheffield. Admittedly, we can board anypublic transport (PT), but how do we getto and from the PT?

We can get a neighbour to push us, butwhat if he threatens to have a heartattack? Or we can just drag ourselves.Have you ever tried going up a hill in amanual wheelchair? Try it sometime.

Or we can use electric wheelchairs.Mine has skittered off pavements 4 timesand tipped me into the road. Not ahealthy option either.(Try googling‘electric wheelchair safety’……)

Or we can use scooters. Mine is brilliant- smaller than my manual wheelchair.Except for one thing - PT is very funnyabout it. Sheffield Community Transport

and Stage-coach have always accepted it,but not so First Bus. My local bus is aFirst Bus, and it’s a long way down toAbbeydale Road to catch a Stagecoachbus. So I started putting First Bus underpressure to allow me to board their 22bus outside my house. After many, manyweeks of campaigning… I have won!

So I went straight to the railway stationto tell the trains -and received very shortshrift.

Many months ago my mother, in Leeds,was dying. For some (obviously totallyselfish) reason, I wanted to go up and saygoodbye to her. Arriving at the platformfor the train the guard came and stood inmy way. So I picked up the front wheelsof my scooter and plonked them on thetrain. Then I reached around and liftedthe back wheels on.

The guard informed me that the trainwas going nowhere until I got that thingoff. So I sat and looked at him. He said hewould call the police. So I said ‘Fine’.

Two station coppers duly arrived,looked at my little scooter, and said to theguard, ‘What’s the problem?’ And I gotup to Leeds to say my sad farewells.Some good friends took me up to deliverher eulogy.

Then my brother, who lived with mymother, started growing a horrible canceron his neck. So I had to fight my way toLeeds again to say goodbye and then todeliver his eulogy.

The Victorians could do better than this!So I still have to win my battle with the

trains and I have every intention of doingthat as I still have some living to do yet. Iwant the right to travel to exotic placeslike Huddersfield, Thorne and evenCleethorpes.

In fact, I demand that right. So long asthe wheelchair space isn’t alreadylegitimately occupied, in which case Iwould wait for the next train.

Foot Note:May Queen 1944In our last issue we reproduced a picture

of the Greenhill Methodist Church MayQueen from 1944 provide by Mrs JuneBesley. We can now confirm that the MayQueen was in fact Brenda Holland.

May Day, Bradway School, 1948. Picture provided by Jeanne Blantern.

Dear Sir,Many thanks for publishing my email in

the Post Box column of your latest(spring) issue. A letter in the samecolumn was about an experience inTwentywell brickyard, which stirred myown memories of this location.

I understand that it started as a stonequarry and commenced manufacture ofbricks for lining the railway tunnels atBradway and Totley. It was owned byTedbar J Tinker and called TheTwentywell Stone and Brick Works.Whether Tinker’s Corner at the junctionof Bradway Road, Prospect Road and theHolmesfield turn was named after him, Iam not sure.

The works closed in 1939 and wasabandoned virtually intact, presumablybecause the Second World War stoppedall demand for it’s output when almost allbuilding work ceased.

My brother and I and our friends TonyHolmes, Basil Mc Ilroy, Roger Vernon,Barry Wragg, David Easton, GrahamTurner and others from the Old ParkRoad / Avenue and Westwick Crescentused to used to go to the site to explorethe old workings and to catch crestednewts frogs and tadpoles in the deepmilky coloured waters of the old quarry.

There were no health and safetyregulations in those days to protect usfrom the considerable dangers present onthe site. We just had to usecommonsense, despite our young age.Neither did our parents worry as many ofour outdoor activities involved similarrisks and they were used to us coming

home with cuts, bumps and bruises orsoaking wet.

The decaying brickworks was still therein 1950 when we moved toLeicestershire, but was demolished notlong after that date.

An article in your Bradway Peoplecolumn had a reference to AdlingtonsAshlea farm which was on BradwayRoad just past the gatehouse at the top ofBeauchief Drive. This prompted furthermemories. Tom Adlington, the son ofThomas and Annie Elizabeth Adlingtonused to deliver our milk in the 1940’s.(His elder brother Harry lost his life inthe First World War and his name is onthe memorial in St. James churchyard inNorton).

The milk was brought to the door of thehouse in a small churn and then pouredinto a half or one pint measure and tippedinto a jug provided by my mother. Thiscontinued until well after the end of thewar when eventually bottles with thecircular waxed cardboard tops becamemore readily available, following thelifting of war restrictions on theirmanufacture.

It is surprising that such reminders asthese can prompt memories of over 70years ago and these will now be added tomy family history records.

A L’eau, C’est L’heure!*(I think!)

Towards the end of March, Mrs Bodgerand I had a short trip over to France tovisit our son and his family. I always findit difficult to adjust to French time, andam constantly comparing the time thereto what it is over here. The “It’s a bitearly for an aperitif just yet, it’s only 5pmin England,” kind of thing.

The situation wasn’t made any easier byhaving access to English TV programmesvia satellite, a constant reminder ofEnglish time (but useful for catching upwith the football results!). Now, I havedifficulty enough as it is not fallingasleep through the evening programmes,but it’s a bit worrying when you wakewith a start to discover the One Show isstill on. Must have been that 5pmaperitif!

But being the end of March, there was afurther complication. We were due tomove the clocks forward! I was prettysure, but not absolutely certain, that BSTwould commence whilst we were away,but what about the French? Did they altertheir clocks at the same time, or was it aweek or two different? An importantquestion, as it would affect our journeyhome.

I tried asking some Frenchmen in thecar in front of us on the train through thetunnel, but got merely a gallic shrug anda throwaway “sometime in April”. Buthaving just witnessed their team beingwalloped by the Welsh in the Six NationsChampionship, they were perhaps notconcentrating fully.

Other enquiries at our overnight stop, insupermarkets and at petrol stationsproved equally fruitless. They’re a prettylaid back lot, the French. Mind you, we’dunfortunately left our French dictionaryat home, so perhaps I was asking thewrong question!

The considered opinion amongst the ex-pats was that the clocks in France arealtered at the same time as those inEngland, and that it was indeed theweekend we were away. But no-one

seemed absolutely sure, and that smallelement of doubt remained. It was a bitunnerving to be driving back throughFrance with the clock on the cardashboard now potentially two hoursbehind French time.

By the time we arrived at Calais, I’dalmost convinced myself that the Frenchclocks had altered at the same time asours, but after an overnight stop, just tobe on the safe side, we set off in goodtime for our scheduled departure on the

assumption that they hadn’t.Despite twice taking the wrong turn and

driving several miles further thannecessary, we still arrived early at theterminal, where they confirmed that theclocks had indeed moved forward.However, they kindly booked me on toan earlier departure at no extra cost (itseems they only levy a supplementarycharge if you stray into a different tariffband). Even another unintendeddiversion, this time a couple of circuits of

the terminal car park, didn’t prevent usfrom setting off an hour and a half early.Needless to say, we then promptly lostmost of this in hold-ups on the M1!

C’est la vie!* A normally reliable friend of mine

once told me in all seriousness that thiswas the motto of a sailing club in NorthWestern France. But he may have beenpulling my leg. Try reading it out loud,and you’ll see what I mean!

Greenhill Hall

One of the more attractive historicbuildings in our area was Greenhill Hall.It is now approaching 50 years since itwas demolished so perhaps a few notes toremind readers about what was lost areappropriate.

It was built in c.1560. To me it is ofparticular importance because the maintwo bay original building ( the right handtwo gables on photo 1 ) appears to belargely unchanged since it was originallybuilt. So many old buildings of this datewere altered in later years. The hall isearly, at the beginning of the reign ofElizabeth 1st. By comparison, other finehouses in our area are Beauchief Hall,1671 and Totley Hall, 1623.

A notable family to own the hall was theKirkes. A grandson of the first Kirkes,David, became a famous merchantseaman. After many adventures heobtained crown permission to found acolony in Canada. In 1629 hecommanded a fleet of 3 ships andcaptured Quebec from the French, later itwas returned until captured again byWolfe in 1759.

One of the later private owners ofthe hall was James Smith Andrew.Harold Armitage in Chantrey Landmade the following comment “It is agreat comfort to know that heappreciates its charms, and is notaching to pull the old place down tobuild upon its site a commonplacemodern mansion”.

Alas, he spoke too soon, in 1948 thehall was bought by SheffieldCorporation only for them 16 yearslater to tear it down, then finally todemean the site by using it as a worksdepartment depot. However the areahas been developed in the last fewyears with good quality housing.

An ancillary building has survived,the long block shown on the map,and this has been incorporated withinthe new housing development. Oneother remnant from the hall itself hasalso survived; the ornate plasterceiling from the notable “oak” roomhas been re-fixed in Cartledge Hall atHolmesfield.

As a last word, to quote fromCraven and Stanley, “in 1948 it wassold to Sheffield Corporation, and in

the long run, its fate was sealed. Its losswas incomparably the most serious ofthis type of house in the county(Derbyshire) and is to be mostemphatically deplored”.

In the last edition of the Bugle Ioutlined five priorities that theCommittee had identified for BAG.These were: (1) planning issues, andparticularly the defence of open space;(2) the Bradway Bugle andcommunication with the communitymore generally; (3) engagement with theWard Forum and with other communitygroups; (4) fund raising forimprovements to the playground andother facilities on the Old School Field;(5) protection and enhancement of thelocal environment.

On 27 March we had an excellentdiscussion of these at the Open Meeting.It was clear that those members andresidents who were present agreed withour priorities, but that there was alsowidespread concern about other issues,especially traffic.

The issue that stirred up the strongestfeelings was the parking of vehicles ongrass verges. This is ironic, because whenPeter Stubbs became Chair of BAG fiveyears ago, one of his first initiatives wasto get a note printed asking motorists notto park on the verges and footpaths. Theidea was that BAG members could havecopies of this note and put them under thewindscreens of vehicles that wereparking on verges and footpaths.

It proved to be the most controversialthing that BAG had done. Severalmotorists reacted very angrily to theinitiative, and there were heatedexchanges in the letters column of theBugle. All of which means that we needto tread carefully. At the time of writingthe issue was on the agenda for the nextmeeting of the BAG Committee, whichwill have taken place by the time that youread this. It would be difficult to ignoresuch strong feelings, and certainly

parking on verges, with the damage thatit causes to the grass, comes under ourfifth priority of protecting and enhancingthe local environment.

The other traffic issues that wereidentified were the problem of HGVsusing Twentywell Lane and ProspectRoad; and the possible introduction of 20mph speed limits. The HighwaysDepartment is currently conducting aCity-wide review of HGV routes, andBAG will ensure that the concerns wediscussed are fed into that review. BAGwill also continue to work on these andother traffic-related issues through theTraffic Focus Group of the Ward Forum(see below).

Returning to our original priorities:there have been some developmentssince my last article in each of theseareas.

First, on the Village Greenapplications: we were informed at theend of February that both of ourapplications (for the Old School Fieldand for the Recreation Ground) would beheard in the next batch of four, “after the29th March”. We have subsequentlyreceived a letter informing us that theRecreation Ground application has beenruled inadmissible because the land waspurchased specifically as a recreationalfacility, so the public had access by rightand we cannot claim that the fact of thepublic using it for informal recreationalpurposes means that it is eligible forvillage green status. We are obviouslychecking the legal position, but this maybe the end of the road for that application.We have yet to hear anything about theapplication for the Old School Field,where this argument cannot be usedbecause the field was not purchasedspecifically for public recreationalpurposes.

Second, on the Bugle, my thanks tothose who came forward after the lastarticle to offer to deliver copies. Also, weare pleased at the response from localresidents with suggestions for and offersof articles. In both cases – deliverers andcontributors – we could still do withmore. If you think you can help pleasecontact either me on Sheffield 236 4564(for offers to deliver) or John Baker onSheffield 236 9025 (for offers of orsuggestions for articles of local interest).

Still on the broad priority ofcommunication: the notice board next tothe Bradway Pharmacy on TwentywellLane is available for the display ofcommunity notices subject to space beingavailable. The board belongs to the South

West Community Assembly, and theirnotices take priority; but there is usuallyplenty of space for others. If you have anotice concerning community affairs,such as a poster advertising a local event,you can arrange for it to be put up bycontacting either me (236 4564) or theDeputy Chair of BAG, Fiona Vallely(236 3991).

Our third priority was engagement withthe Dore and Totley Ward Forum, and Ireported in the last edition that therewould be a meeting to discuss the futureof the Forum on 28 February. At thatmeeting it was agreed to discontinue theregular meetings, but to continue with thesystem of Focus Groups on specificissues that have a clear Ward-widedimension to them. To drive forward theprocess it was agreed to appoint as co-ordinator Roger Hart from Totley, whohas been one of the strongest advocatesof co-operation between residents indifferent parts of the Ward. Roger’s ownoutline of the current position appearselsewhere in this edition of the Bugle.

Turning to our fourth priority: fundraising for improvements to the facilitieson the Old School Field was never goingto prove easy in the current economicclimate, but Dorothy Astle and PeterSmithson have made several applicationsmost of which are still pending.

In the meantime, we have had anotherunfortunate incident of vandalism to thefence around the playground. A maleyouth was caught in the act of kicking ina section of the wooden fence panel,apparently in an attempt to impress twoyoung females who were present. He ranoff quickly enough when confronted byan angry BAG officer and a neighbourwho had a mobile phone with a camerafacility. The damage was serious: four ofthe wooden palings had been loosenedfrom their supports and the horizontal topbeam had been broken and wrenchedfrom the posts. We are tremendouslygrateful to Peter Stubbs, who performeda repair so good that the Bradway Bodgercould not have done better.

On our fifth priority of maintenance andenhancement of the local environment:the Open Meeting produced an offerfrom a small group of local residents totry to keep the railway triangle clear oflitter. Through the good offices of theSouth West Community Assembly, BAGhas managed to obtain some more litterpickers, some plastic rings to hold openthe black bags, and some high-visibilityjackets. This will allow us to make apermanent loan of litter-collectionequipment to those residents goodenough to offer to keep the triangle clear.

It was also suggested thatimprovements need to be carried out tothe public footpath that runs up from thestile near the bottom of Twentywell Laneto Poynton Wood. Contact has been madewith the SCC Public Rights of WayOfficer and with the Woodlands Officer,and a site visit was in the process ofbeing arranged at the time of writing.

On a less positive note, the assurancesfrom the contractors to Network Rail

who are clearing the trees on therailway banking next to Twentywell Laneproved not to be worth as much as Ithought when I reported on them lasttime. It is understandable that theworkforce was withdrawn from the sitewhen the snow came down in February,but disappointing that two emails frommyself to the address given to me by theoriginal site foreman produced no reply.In the emails I asked when work wouldresume and reminded the company of theimportance of not disturbing nestingbirds. At the time of writing thecontractors had appeared again on siteand seemed to be felling trees, thendisappeared again. So much for gettingthe work done quickly, nor does there

seem to be much concern to avoiddisturbing the birds during the nestingseason.

Finally, the Norton Show may havebeen cancelled because of the LondonOlympics, but the annual Bradway FunDay will go ahead on 17 August, fivedays after the closing ceremony for thatother event. But it does seem as thoughsome of our regular helpers have heldback on their annual holiday until afterthe end of the Olympics, so more areaway than usual. Any offers of help willbe very gratefully accepted and should bemade to myself or to Fiona Vallely(numbers given above).

On The Road Again

A working chap on the street can oftenfind it difficult to penetrate the logic ofthe intellectual classes. Take for examplethe arguments of the Esperantists. Thesepeople faced with a situation of too manylanguages in the world decided yetanother language, Esperanto, would bethe solution to the problem.

Your working chap would probablyhave said that any language spoken bymillions of people already must be a farbetter candidate as a world language thanEsperanto. My personal favourite wouldhave been Latin, but in a world where wealready have too many languages, thecreation of yet another one seemsperverse.

Unfortunately this Esperantic logic isbeing rolled out by Sheffield council on aweekly basis. One problem that they areaddressing is that there are too many carson too few roads causing delay andcongestion. Their solution is to reducethe number of roads available to roadusers and close access to some roads atthe most busy times of the day.

There are several examples of this. Oneis Glossop Road southbound to Bradwaywhich is closed to cars between 4.30 and6.30 on weekdays when it would be ofmost use to people exiting the city centre.However, you can drive freely throughthis route at quiet times of the day whenfew people need to.

Many drivers find these part time routes

confusing. Often the essays written onsigns confuse drivers because theyrequire more time to interpret thandrivers have available.

A good friend of mine who is a veryexperienced driver was caught out on themaze of routes collectively known as TheWicker. In the old days drivers who wereconfused with a situation could pull overand sort themselves out or they could finda side road to turn around. These days acamera takes their picture and a brownenvelope lands on their mat the followingweek. This is unfair to drivers and there isno realistic prospect of appeal.

Recently, after an early morning lesson,I dropped my customer off at a gym nearWaitrose. As my next pickup was in thecity centre I headed via the Waitrosepetrol station on my regular route downto London Road. At the last moment Ispotted that an unobtrusive black signhad lit up telling me that a route I haveused regularly for many years is now a nothrough route in the morning.

I was now forced to turn around andmake an already congested Waitroseroundabout even more congested. At alater date I checked if I had missed awarning sign that would have preventedme getting caught in the rat trap andfound that no warning sign exists on theapproach route that I had taken.

This brings me to a further point. Notcontent to confuse us all with irrationalroad systems and set us up for a “trial bycamera”, our ruling politicians have sold

all of our personal car details to privateorganizations who can also make up rulesand send you brown envelopes.

Another friend dropped his wife off atNetto to do some shopping and thenpicked her up later. Netto sent him aparking fine for staying too long in theircar park as their rubbish system could notdeal with the concept of droppingsomeone off and picking them up afterthey had finished. The BBC programmeWatchdog advises you to do what theydid and ignore such demands.

So why does any of this matter? Well,how many readers have had literaturefrom the political parties over the yearsasking them about road traffic problems?How many of those politicians actuallydid something sensible about yourcomments? How many of you voted foryour details to be sold to privateorganizations or councils for you to beunjustly fined? My personal experienceis that our politicians have a poor recordin working with even experienced andorganised groups. I also believe thatselling private motorists personal data tocommercial organisations is sinister.

Roads should be designed to keeptraffic flowing, public transport should bedesigned to tempt us out of our cars andour personal data should be for the use ofpolice to catch criminals. At least that’smy view, but then I guess I’m so old nowthat I’m one of the few that can alsoremember when hand dryers blew warmair and when sick people could get an

appointment for the doctor.Do our political masters care about the

views of the man in the street fiveminutes after they’ve shaken your handand thanked you for your vote?

Safe driving until next time.John Barker DipM DSA ADI

is a local driving instructor.Your questions answered:-Q. - My sons driving instructor stopped

off during a driving lesson to pick upsome car parts from the local dealer. Ittook around fifteen minutes off my son’slesson. Is this normal?

A. - No. Most instructors would behorrified by this story. Drop the instructornow and make a complaint on theDriving Standards Agency Website. Youshould receive the lesson time you havepaid for in full.

Q. - My son failed his test for movingaway too slowly from Darnall trafficlights and his instructor was vague aboutthis. My son say’s he was just beingcareful? Surely this is not a fail situationas my son was not dangerous and did notcause an accident? Should I complainabout the examiner?

A. - At the end of the test your son willhave been offered an explanation and hisinstructor invited to listen. I don’t knowwhether your son declined this or not.However, your son will have failed underthe general area of either “unduehesitation” or for failing to make “normalprogress”. The examiner will be awarethat sometimes a little hesitation can save

your life but if this becomes excessivedrivers following can become frustratedcreating a dangerous or confusingsituation. The examiners marking criteriais relatively, they ask themselves whatthey would have done in the situation thatyour son found himself in.

If your son deviates significantly fromwhat the examiner would do then thiswould be a fault. If it were bad enoughthen the fault becomes serious and yourson would be failed. I assume this wasthe case. In this situation you would needto have a water tight case for a complaintto prevail against the examiner, forexample if an expert witness such as theinstructor was in the car and disagreedwith the examiners marking.

20’s Plenty now official

Following a Cabinet HighwaysCommittee meeting in March, it’s nowCouncil strategy to introduce 20mphspeed limits in residential areasthroughout Sheffield, unless there’sstrong local opposition. This won’t applyto arterial routes, eg. existing A roads,which will remain as present. A fullreport is on the Council website, and ourWard Forum’s Traffic focus group ismonitoring progress to see how and whenit’s likely to affect us.

Things won’t change quickly, for theinitial 2-year phase will consider a“pilot” in each Community Assemblyarea. A review of hot-spots will selectresidential areas on a “worst first” basis,so it’s up to local residents to lobby theircouncillors and the SW CommunityAssembly, whose next public meetingwill be in our Ward on 19-July.

This is in line with governmentguidelines to all local authorities, whichwere revised by Dept for Transport in2008, and recommends lower speedlimits. These are now easier to install, forexpensive speed bumps, etc are no longerrequired. But some think progress inSheffield is too slow, and are lobbyingfor this to happen sooner, which mayneed more political will and resources.

In parallel with this, the Councilrecently announced Amey as thesuccessful bidder for the major PFIcontract to refurbish and maintain allSheffield’s roads and verges for the next25-years, replacing Streetforce. Duringthe first 5 years, all road surfaces andsigns are due to be replaced, and it wouldmake sense for this to be co-ordinatedwith 20mph speed limits. But the termsof this contract were agreed some timeago, and it remains to be seen how muchduplication can be avoided.

For those who’d like to know more,these national and local websites areuseful — www.20splentyforuk.org.ukand www.20splentyforsheffield.org.uk

Totley and the Tunnel

Chat with anyone about local historyand the conversation is sure to comeround to the Totley Tunnel - the buildingof which changed Totley forever - andBrian Edwards, the local historian. NowBrian has reprinted his book, this timewith a neat spine binding.

Brian tracks us back to a time whenTotley, a small village still largelyseparate from Sheffield, was alreadyrapidly changing. Trains had recentlycome to the newly built Dore and TotleyStation in the 1870s. Land values wererocketing, landowners cashing in withthe development of new houses for thewell to do on Dore Road - and lateraround Devonshire Road, Totley BrookRoad and Victoria Road. Indeed, theVictorian expansion of Totley can beattributed to the railway - not only newvillas for the well to do, but the buildingof the small terraced houses for workerson Totley Rise (or “Bricky Row”) andLemont Road.

We learn about this huge engineeringfeat and the organisation responsible - theMidland Railway Company and itsbackers. A line to Manchester andbeyond to Liverpool was to be a hugelyprofitable enterprise - not so muchthrough passenger travel but because ofthe money to be made from the transportof coal to the North West.

We learn about the engineeringproblems that had to be solved in order toget under the 1300 feet high moorlandand the methods used - some using up todate technology of the time, but mostlystill relying on gunpowder, human brawnand craftsmanship.

We learn about the Totley Brickworksthat made the bricks to line the tunnel,some of the navvies living rough upthere. And indeed, we learn about thenavvies - the people we seem to be most

interested in - those who did the dirtywork and sometimes paying with theirhealth and lives.

Here the book does not disappoint withsome detailed social history. Living intemporary huts near Moss Road orlodging at The Grouse, Totley Rise,Lemont Road or walking in from furtherafield, the navvies are surely the realheroes. They had to work in some of theworst conditions seen in railwayconstruction - water from the manywatercourses around Totley andGrindleford burst into the tunnel. Indeedat the Padley end some of the navvieseven had to get to work by raft. Whocannot be entertained by thecontemporary accounts of the challengesto law and order brought by such amassive influx of rough itinerantlabourers, even the Village policemantaking a knocking?

Who cannot sympathise with the tinyvillage school that had to accept so manyextra poor children living in terriblecircumstances? Contemporary accountsof navvies sleeping in shifts - someturning out to let the next lot into bed sothat up to sixty people could be lodgingin one small unsanitary house - areastounding.

Who cannot be moved by the accountsof disease - only one out of fourteenhouses in Lemont Road unaffected bysmallpox? Or by the photo of one of thesmall gravestones in Dore Churchyardmarked perfunctorily “S.P. (ie smallpox)Full Up 1893.”

The image that sticks with me is notwhen the first passenger train travels onthe new line to the accompaniment ofacrobats and brass bands in Summer1894, but the moment in October 1892when the navvies from either end of thetunnel finally meet in the middle - andshake hands.

Copies of the 4th reprint of Totley andthe Tunnel are available from Totley RisePost Office £8.99.

Big Tree Plant

The Big Tree Plant is a campaign toencourage people and communities toplant more trees in England’s towns,cities and neighbourhoods. It is apartnership bringing together nationaltree-planting organisations and localgroups working with Defra and theForestry Commission to plant treesthroughout England. To date over195,000 trees have been planted.

The Rotary Club of Sheffield Vulcan,with the assistance of Sheffield CityCouncil and Handsworth CommunityTrust, made a successful application tothe Big Tree Plant Fund, and a grant of£945 enabled the purchase of over twohundred young trees, which also coversthe cost of three years’ maintenance.During February, March, and April thesetrees were planted by Vulcan RotaryClub members in HandsworthCommunity Park, with a small numberalso at Fox Lane. The trees are all Britishnative deciduous trees, mainly oaks,hornbeams, ash and rowans, and vary insize and age. Sheffield Vulcan annuallyalso plants thousands of bulbs and tens oftrees in Sheffield in schools, parks, wasteland, and alongside roads and verges, andin collaboration with Sheffield ParksDepartment.

Sheffield Vulcan is one of 34,000member clubs of Rotary International, avolunteer service organisation of 1.2million members worldwide. The Clubmeets weekly at Abbeydale SportsGround in Dore, and undertakes manyprojects for charities, schools and otherworthwhile causes, both locally andOverseas, typically through fund raising,guidance and support, and the provisionof manpower from its volunteermembership.

Take a break

The Lone Star StateIn a state as big as Texas there are

unique adventures around every bend, sowhen we made the decision to visit weknew we’d have to narrow down theoptions to a manageable size … and boyit did not disappoint.

First stop Houston and NASA,headquarters of America’s manned spaceprogram on their Level 9 private tour,taking us to see all the infamous areas ofthe facility. For any space geek, this is amust and we loved it … Houston wedidn’t have a problem, in fact it was oneof the highlights of our trip !

Onwards to San Antonio, home to themost famous spot in Texas, The Alamo.This unusual city had more to offer thanmeets the eye, with a vast array ofdiffering sites to keep the mostadventurous amongst us happy. Westarted at the Paseo Del Rio (River Walk)edged by hotels, art & gift shops,restaurants, boutiques and live music – areal party atmosphere, grab a margaritaand watch the world go by ! Furtherafield the River Walk becomes morepeaceful as you venture to the historicalsites like the Pearl Brewery or the KingWilliam district with its elegant colonialmansions dating back to the late 1800’s –or why not try a Trolley Tour with AlamoTrolley ? Be sure to ask for LeRoy, hewas an absolute hoot !

With only 3 days in San Antonio, westill had a lot to cram in and hot footed itto Hemisphere park, home to the Towerof the Americas built in 1968 for theHemisFair. Take the glass elevator to theobservation deck 750 feet above forbreathtaking views of the city, but givethe revolving restaurant a miss … whichwe wished we had done !

Next we were on a mission, as weexplored the churches of Mission

National Historical Park – these walled,medieval communities where key tosurvival after the Apache raided from thenorth and deadly diseases travelled fromMexico in the early 1700’s. Now thesebeautiful ruins are dotted around the arearipe for exploration, not to mentionFREE !

With time against us our days in SanAntonio were at an end and so much wehadn’t done … SeaWorld, Natural BridgeWildlife Ranch, Botanical Gardens,Museums, Zoo, Segway Tour or SixFlags theme park to name a few. At leastthere was one last chance to view theRiver Walk from the water on the RioSan Antonio Cruises – time to sit backand watch the world drift by …

Travelling to Fort Worth was anadventure in itself, as we were almostcaught in the tornados that ravaged theDallas area, thankfully all we saw wasthe most explosive thunder storm. Takingrefuge in an Outlet Mall we watched inawe as it passed over, not even thinkingof taking advantage of some muchneeded retail therapy, our eyes werepeeled for a twister !

Once in Fort Worth you could notmistake the feeling of the Old West, aswith a jingle of spurs and the rhythm ofhoofs on the cobbles the longhorn cattlewere driven through the Stockyards bycowboys on horseback. The romance andmystique of Cowtown had come to life,well at least for 2 shows a day for thetourists !

Rodeo night proved as much fun too,with bull riding, tie down roping, teamroping and barrel racing – we watchedeyes wide as the brave cowboys took tothe backs of the bulls. Albeit only stayingonboard for a few seconds the pain musthave gone on for hours if not days forsome of the participants … rather themthan me !

With Dallas a calling we headed east –next stop the American Airlines Centerand a night at the ice-hockey, SheffieldSteelers eat your heart out ! In typical

American fashion this turned into anextravaganza of a night with freebies shotinto the crowd, dropped from the raftersor handed out, not to mention the besthalf-time show of sumo-costumedwrestlers - only in America ! Continuingin theatrical style we headed forSouthfork, home to the 80’s TV show‘Dallas’ before succumbing to a coupleof hours of retail therapy, then to ourluxurious home-stay for a dip in the pool.

The JFK Sixth Floor Museum startedour last day. Based in the actual bookdepository on Dealey Plaza from wherethe alleged shots were fired, thisinformative audio tour chronicles hisassassination and legacy. With eye-witness accounts, artefacts, photographsand film & video footage it gives you achilling account of actual events andmost certainly a must see.

From here we headed out on a walkingtour of Dallas with some lovely photoopportunities, before heading back toHouston the next day and our flight backhome … why, oh why, oh why arevacations over so quickly ?

Valuable Landscapes

Model Ship Society

Sheffield Ship Model Society wasfounded 75 years ago in 1937 with thehelp of the Sheffield Society of Modeland Experimental Engineers. They meetevery Tuesday, Thursday and Sundaymornings at Millhouses Park, AbbeydaleRoad South, Sheffield, S7 2QQ betweenaround 8am and 1pm

Members range in age from 7 years oldto 91 years young, the latter being aformer member from the beginning in1937. Just about every type of boat issailed in Millhouses Park including Club500, Yachts, Square-riggers, Tugs, Cargo,Steam and Lifeboats. The only one notallowed is internal combustion engines.

Safety is of paramount importance. Allmembers follow a strict code of safetyand members of the public are kept at asafe distance. They also operate a ChildProtection and Vulnerable Adults Policy.

New members are always welcome. Ifyou or any of your family think modelboating may be for you then come downto Millhouses Park on the days above andhave a chat with friendly members. Thereare always Committee Members on dutyat the same time for information onjoining.

Millhouses Park has something foreveryone. While you are sailing there is anice Cafe serving drinks, snacks andmeals, play areas for the children, skate-board park, tennis, ice cream parlour,public toilets and riverside walks.

Some history of the Society

Initially members built static displaymodels however, there was soon thedesire to see the models sail, most ofthem semi scale yachts. Ready madesailing waters in Millhouses Park weremade available by the City Council, andit became the regular meeting place formodel boat enthusiasts, just as it is today.

The war years saw the Society curtailboating activities but by the early 1950’smembership increased. A magazine wasstarted and this was sent to those still inthe services to keep them in touch withevents within their hobby. It is recordedthat they were sent as far afield as Italyand New Zealand.

In the following decade (1960-1970),membership gradually increased, as didthe variety of scale models being built. Inthe 1960’s, with the introduction of moreefficient radio control equipment, usingsolid state electronics, together with theminiturisation of the internal combustionengine, greater interest was being shownin Model Power Boats.

At the request of the Parks Committeeregular sailing exhibitions were heldfor public entertainment. The Regatta’sheld in the various parks were geared toprovide more competitive sailing,encourage improved workmanship, andattract new members and juniors. Thefirst National Scale Regatta was held in1979 in Millhouses Park.

The Society then went through amodernisation process. A GuidingCommittee, a revised set of Club Rules

and consolidation into what has become awell founded Society. In 1980 trophieswere introduced for Society eventsespecially for Junior members toencourage them to expand theirknowledge and building skills.

In 1980, with the assistance ofthe Sheffield Star they organised‘Starship Enterprise’, a competition forJuniors with no previous experience tobuild a model boat, designed by aSheffield member, Wally Heslington.

Realism was the name of the game inthe 1980’s. During 1982 the thenChairman Les Hampshire built a P&OFerry. He was subsequently asked by theShipping Line if he could produce smallscale working models for their use inpublicity, which he did. It was featured inBoat Modeller.

The modelling skills of the Society arebeing maintained with one of ourmembers regularly contributing designsand articles for ‘Model Boats’, anotherreviews new kits for a manufacturer andwrites reviews, and one who is achievingthe highest awards for exhibits at theModel Engineering Exhibition in

London. One of the longest servingmembers has written six books on ships(well he has been involved in ships hiswhole life and his father before himbeing an engineer) and has completedalmost eighty model ships bycommission to some of the biggest namesin the shipping world. The club still hasan Honorary Member who has been amember since the Society was formed.

With an active current membership,many with over 20 years experience, theSociety is soundly established. Theassistance given by Sheffield CityCouncil Parks Department, for the hire ofMillhouses Park Lake and facilities isgreatly appreciated.

Bradway Birds

Recently, on behalf of the BradwayAction Group, I contacted John Gilpin,the council’s Woodland Officer, as to thestatus of Poynton Wood and otherwoodlands in our corner of Sheffield. Isthere a plan? Is our local woodlandmanaged? Are trees regenerating? Arethere any worrying threats? Will they betotally abandoned in the cooling climateof cuts?

There is no doubt that some of ourforest birds are in trouble, or arestruggling to maintain populations, insome regions more than others; in thesouth and east more than elsewhere.Scottish birds in woods are doing better –devolution?!

John Gilpin rang me and we had a longand mainly reassuring conversation. Allthe council woodlands are visitedregularly and are managed sustainably,with a view to maintaining (andincreasing) biodiversity of trees, otherplants, invertebrates and birds; notnecessarily mammals, of which morelater.

John Gilpin himself visits PoyntonWood. He told me he greatly enjoys hiswork, which is good to hear in itself, andbecause it is reassuring to hear fromsomeone having oversight of such anexcellent local amenity. The treesproduce lots of seed, I suppose becauseof reasonable rainfall, sunshine andtemperatures, positioned as we are half-way from Channel coast to northernwaters, and in the lee of the southernmostPennines.

And the seedlings do well, with anexcellent ratio of seeds to saplings. It’sless a question of helping growth along,more a matter, city-wide, of thinning toallow the sideways spread that gives teesmore strength than having a myriad ofthin, tall, branchless poles! Oak, silverbirch and rowan predominate in Poynton,all excellent for invertebrates andtherefore bids; there are some holly andsycamores, and a grove of beeches at thewoodland foot towards Totley Rise. Youwill notice these are more negative,casting a deep shade and shedding leavesthat rot slowly. Nothing grows underthem.

Sycamores, I am told, are not invadingwoodland cores, tending to skulk roundthe outskirts. In any case, they are notnecessarily the rogues they are paintedas, for they feed and harbour a host of theinsects so vital to promote a productivefood web. Any in your garden? You’llhave noticed the aphid clouds theysupport!

Lower layers of plant life are reasonablein Poynton and Lady Spring: young trees,holly, hazel, brambles, ferns, grasses,spring bulbs. This complex structure isessential for richness of bird life.Pigeons, crows, the thrushes and tits,robins, nuthatches, tree creepers, will allbe fewer if there are only tall trees andnothing else.

Wrens prefer to creep around and nestin thick, lower plant layers; so do willowwarblers, chiffchaffs, garden warblersand black caps. Woodpeckers and tawnyowls do best where there are plenty ofolder trees, with rotting wood and nest-holes where branches used to be.Poynton Wood does have the range fromsaplings through mature standards to olddodderers and fallen carcases. These lastshould not be cleared away. Tidy woodsare far poorer.

Sheffield woods are (fingers crossed)safe from their biggest threat which istotal removal for housing or industrialuse. The biggest worry, for the PeakDistrict National Park and our council,lies outside our boundaries: will deerinvade? England’s deer population isprobably as high as it has been since theice age ended ten to twelve thousandyears ago. That includes Norman andPlantagenet times, when large areas ofthe country were sterilised of humaninhabitants so that the robber baronswhose descendants still rule us couldhunt away their days. Offending peasantstrying to use the forest met a range ofgrisly mutilations or deaths.

Now there is far less hunting, even bythe blue-blooded, and no wolf or lynxpredation. There are a few fallow deernear Beauchief Hall, red deer towardsFox House. These are less of a worrythan the roe deer, which I have seen justbeyond Owler Bar, and, even naughtier,the introduced deer which have becomenaturalised and are thriving.

One such is that cheeky chap themuntjac, from the Far East, now here bythe hundred thousand. Only the size of aLabrador dog, it has small tusks. Packs incentral Birmingham have them. Par-goers are unaware of this, because they,roe and fallow, are such experts atdaytime concealment, but Springwatch’sheat seeking cameras found them. It islikely that they arrived along the scrubthat grows beside the railway tracks.

Roes have not moved into suburbanSheffield so far, and John Gilpin told methat the nearest muntjac are probably atWelbeck. If we are hit, all the groundlayers will be eaten, as well as shrubs upto the deer’s reach, including whenstraining up on back legs alone. Abrowse-line will appear, as you will seein deer parks such as Chatsworth and

Wentworth. Tree seedlings will notmake it.

The knock-on effect will be drastic: thefood and cover for ground livingmammals will go. Owls and hawks willhave to manage on small birds alone.Small birds will also decline, especiallywrens, warblers and great tits that nestand feed around tree bases and stumps,and in thickets.

Our city, free of deer and rabbits, hasexcellent tree regeneration; but all thiscould change. John Gilpin told me thatthe Peak and the city are talking together,realise that they need a strategy thatworks, but have sot so far got one! Noarea of the country does, as far as I know.

This is where you, the public, can help,

not by going into the woods with deer-hounds, guns, welsh long-bows,crossbows or poisoned stakes, but byreporting any sightings. Mind you, yourbush craft will have to be pretty good tosee one before it senses you. Theuniversity’s natural history society has aproject to monitor the city edge forencroaching deer.

If you have a sighting, or see a suddengrazing of ground and shrub layers, orgrooves in the bark where antlers arerubbed, please contact the editor withtime and location, and I will pass on theinformation to John.

A wild section of the North-easthighlands might see the reintroduction ofwolves; the zone will be heavily fences.

This is unlikely (!) for Bradway, thoughlynxes would be a lovely thought.Wolves do not attack people, but lovevenison.

Hunters and rifles would be thealternative, but not before our woodsbecame unrecognisable, and largelysilent of bird-song.

Information is the first need, so pleasebe observant and vigilant.

Meanwhile, local walkers will havenoticed birdsong as early as February,from blackbirds (fluty), song thrushes(piercing repetitions), greenfinches(wheezing whistles), great tits (teacherteacher), and robins and dunnocks(watery jingles).

Keighley to Bradway(Via Port Stanley)

When young men with a sense ofadventure leave home to join the RoyalNavy, they probably imagine exoticports, exotic drink and exotic women. In1982 eighteen-year-old Peter ‘Skinny’Barling, now a Bradway resident, got allthese and more – an all-expenses-paidtrip to the South Atlantic and intensecontact with some hostile Argentinians.

Sadly, Peter isn’t a Sheffield native.Born in Erith, Kent, his family moved toOakworth (as featured in the film ‘TheRailway’ Children), near Keighley, whenhe was seven. He had an interest in allthings maritime and joined the SeaCadets while still, metaphorically atleast, in short trousers. This led to himjoining the Senior Service at the age of16 (he told his mum the form she signedwas permission to join a Sea Cadets tripoverseas), and a couple of fairly eventfulyears growing up around some moreexperienced matelots – of whom morelater.

In 1982, I thought that Argentina hadput gunboats somewhere off Scotlandwhen I heard that they had captured theFalkland Islands. I wasn’t alone, asapparently Adrian Mole’s dad had thesame reaction. However, in May 1982Peter’s ship, HMS Bristol, got the call toescort the QEII to the Falklands, and thento join existing forces in the area. QEIIwas serving as a troop ship, carrying5,000 soldiers and some 650 Cunardcrew volunteers to the conflict.

Pausing only in mid-Atlantic at theAscension Islands to transfer stores fortheir tour of duty, the ships arrived in theTotal Exclusion Zone (TEZ) on 26thMay, to take over the position formerlyoccupied by HMS Sheffield, which hadbeen sunk following an Argentine attackon 4th May.

As a Weapons Engineer, Peter was partof a team maintaining the sophisticatedweapons systems on HMS Bristol. Theship came under attack from theArgentinians from both air and sea, andmore than once was close to being lost;the order for the crew to ‘Brace, brace,brace’ against attack was given a total ofeight times. Thankfully she and her crewsurvived and they returned to Portsmouthin September of 1982. Peter left the Navywith the rank of Petty Officer in 1993.

Members of the 1982 4J Port Mess ofHMS Bristol have maintained a closebond and keep in regular touch. Over theweekend of 20th to 22nd April this year,some of them held a reunion in Bristol tomark the 30th Anniversary of theFalklands War and to lay a wreath at theWar Memorial for comrades lost in otherconflicts.

Peter ‘Skinny’ Barling was joined byhis mess-mates Laurence ‘Flipper’Byrne, Mark ‘Jock’ Rennilson’, Matt‘Tug’ Wilson, Alan ‘Chippy’ Carpenter’(among many others) and theircommanding officer at the time of theFalklands conflict, Vice Admiral SirPeter Spencer KCB. Far from being a

wholly sombre affair, however, itinvolved a great deal of, er, socializing,and the WAGs went too!

Peter now lives in Bradway, havingcome to Sheffield to study Electrical andElectronic Engineering at SheffieldHallam University in 1992 and stayedbecause he met me...and what betterreason to stay than meeting a Sheffieldwoman?

A note on nicknames: it appears that itis customary for pretty much everyonewho serves in HM Forces to be known bya name other than the one they weregiven at birth. Just don’t ask me wherethey came from.

The Wildlife Garden

A blackbird with an injured leg and onlya few white feather shafts for a tail - theresult of an all too close-encounter with acat - stood lopsidedly by my feet. He was‘vacuuming’ up the mealworms I hadthrown down for him so quickly, anyonewould have thought he was a competitorin a ‘how-many-mealworms-can-you-eat-in-a-minute’ world record attempt.

Mind you, the reason for his haste soonbecame apparent: my garden’s dominantblackbird landed just a few feet away,feathers bristling in fury as the usurperdevoured ‘his’ mealworms. Yet unlike theinjured bird who was emboldened byhunger, he did not dare venture closer.

Sensing this, the lame blackbird carriedon eating and if anything, it was at aneven faster pace than before, when all ofa sudden, a wren shot out from beneath anearby shrub and landed next to thelarger bird. With a high-pitched squeak, itgrabbed a mealworm right from underthe startled blackbird’s beak and flewback to the bush in a whirr of tiny wings.

Being so small and elusive, I find it hardto accept that, according to the RSPB,wrens are in fact Britain’s most commonspecies of breeding bird, with just over 8million pairs. Nevertheless, they are mostabundant in deciduous woodlands andconsequently this is the best place to heartheir lovely clear song: a trilling call thatrises and falls like a roller-coaster,finishing with a flourish and delivered atthe same frantic pace as everything else

the bird does. It is also very loud,surprisingly so for such a small bird, butin reality this makes perfect sense,because the male’s song has to reach afemale that spends most of her timeskulking around in the undergrowth.

The males also do something elseunexpected, they build a number of nestsin their territory and try to entice a femaleto accept one of them. When food isplentiful, they may even get two or morefemales laying their eggs in these nests.As well as open-fronted nest boxes,wrens also use crevices in trees and wallsto make their spherical nests, yet whilethe nest shape makes the chicksnotoriously difficult to study, it does littleto protect them from predators.

If all goes well, the female lays 5 or 6whitish coloured eggs which sheincubates for approximately 16 days, asimilar length of time as the chicks taketo fledge. Remarkably, she rears them allby herself and then goes through it againin July, with a second clutch of eggs. Tosucceed, she needs an abundant supply ofsmall insects and spiders, not only duringthe breeding season, but all year round.

Harsh winters are especially difficultfor wrens and many can die fromstarvation or succumb to the cold. Tohelp overcome this, during severeweather wrens will sometimes gathertogether, cramming themselves into anempty nest box to keep warm. Thehighest number ever recorded was 63wrens in one nest box, but this is likely tohave been surpassed during the last

record-breaking winter.Usually, the only time I catch sight of

wren in my garden is when one flitsbetween shrubs; a brown blur as it movesamongst the climbers or plant containers,feverishly searching in every nook andcranny for insects, more akin to a cartooncreation than anything alive.

However, one cheeky character hasrecently started sitting on my kitchendoor-handle and peers in through thewindow whenever she wants feeding.When live food is in short supply, wrensmay take crumbs of cheese from theground, nonetheless prefer suet and ofcourse, mealworms especially if they canbe snatched right from under ablackbird’s bill.

Getting into the swing

Beauchief Golf ClubWe conclude our look into the formation

of our local golf clubs with a visit toBeauchief, which is different in that it is amunicipal golf course, open to the public.

This means that anyone with access to aset of golf clubs and appropriate clothingand footwear can book a tee time andplay without being a member. That said,there is a thriving golf club based therecomprising around 700 members,including over 100 ladies and a strongjunior section. The club organise over350 competitions and matches per yearand will make golfers of any abilitywelcome for a comparatively smallannual membership fee.

Beauchief is one of those courses inSheffield where people traditionally havegiven golf a try, learned to play and thenperhaps moved on to private clubs. Thereare though many long time membersincluding over a dozen who have allracked up over 30 years membership!

The golf course at Beauchief had beencreated in 1897 by the previous tenantsAbbeydale Golf Club, largely as it wasideally situated at the time right next to arailway station and the Abbeydale Hotel.Abbeydale had commissioned Scottishgolf professional Sandy Herd to designthe course at Beauchief, first as a ninehole course going as far as BeauchiefDrive. A further nine holes were added onthe other side of the Abbey in 1912, thistime under the guidance of the eminentgolf course architect, Herbert Fowler.

A new courseWhen Abbeydale Golf Club moved the

short distance to their current home, alsoon the Beauchief Estate in 1924 it wasthe Sheffield Corporation who took overthe course, buying the clubhouse andother course buildings from Abbeydaleand leasing the land from the new land

owner and property developer, FrankCrawshaw.

Beauchief Golf Club was established in1925 and it seems clear that the coursewas acquired and the Club founded onthe principle that it was a facilityprovided for the benefit of the city.Efforts are still made to ensure that boththe course and the Club are open to all.

By 1931 the Council had bought theland from Mr Crawshaw, a deal thatincluded the Abbey grounds, ruins andgraveyard along with the adjacentcottages as a ‘gift to the Citizens ofSheffield’ on condition that Church ofEngland services should continue in theAbbey and that it should not be used forany other purpose.

The golf course itself has some veryinteresting historical features that add tothe ambience of the environment. Thereare three ponds on the course today thatdate all the way back to the days of thePremonstratensian priests. They werereferred to in documentation dating from1912 as being the ‘Monks Ponds’ andwere stocked with fish up to quite recenttimes. Despite signs saying that this is nolonger the case, fishing enthusiasts willstill take their life in their hands byangling in the largest pond right in thepath of the 11th hole.

A fishy storyI have my own story to tell about fish in

the waterways of Beauchief. During oneround of golf a number of years ago I wasamazed to find half a dozen goldfishswimming around in the stream that runsin front of the seventh hole, swollenfollowing a thunderstorm the previousnight which must have filled up a gardenpond to over brimming on nearbyBocking Lane.

Other signs from the working pastinclude clearly visible remnants ofancient ploughing furrows running acrossthe fairways around the Abbey. The landadjacent to the Abbey has been thesubject of a couple of archaeological digs

over the years and one in particularlocated a cobbled courtyard just behindthe 3rd green.

Back in 1912 the course was just shortof 6000 yards in length and boasted two520 yard holes that had a par score of six.The course has been developing allthrough its history and would certainlyhave had to have been redesigned aroundthe 1920’s and 30’s as Mr Crawshaw hadused slices of the golf course to buildhouses along Abbey Lane and BockingLane. Further evidence of the propertydeveloper’s activity may be related toCrawshaw Avenue and Crawshaw Grovewhich are to be found through the trees ofParkbank Wood, bordering the present10th hole.

1933 and 1934 saw further significantremodelling of the course as a patch ofnew land was bought alongsideBeauchief Drive, now known as theTriangle (perhaps Beauchief’s own‘Amen Corner’?) which enabled threenew holes to be accommodated andallowed others to be extended.

The Second World WarThe Second World War left marks in

several ways on the golf course and thelives of its members, particularly fromthe three bombs falling on the course!Members requested in 1940 that relief begiven for golf shots striking, or impededby National Defence Posts on the course.The Defence Posts were often gunemplacements sited on or near theperimeter of open spaces from which anarc of fire could be brought to bear onplanes attempting to land. The CityCouncil was asked to remove them inSeptember 1944.

Parts of the course were used forgrowing food as the Dig for Victorycampaign and the car park was used tocelebrate VE day with a huge bonfireattended by hundreds of local residents.At the start of war, it was decided thatmembers called up for conscription to thearmed forces were to be invited to

The first wooden golf clubhouse at Beauchief created by what was then AbbeydaleGolf Club in 1897. Victorian ladies are enjoying tea on the terrace, with the AbbeyLane bridge over the railway in the background. The site lies in the grounds ofwhat today is the Beauchief Hotel

become Honorary Members duringtheir year of conscription (this ‘year’turned out to be much longer for many!).When at home on leave their green feeswould be paid by the Club, a practicethat continued until July 1945. The Clubwas also asked to provide golfingfacilities to our American Allies whilstthey were on leave. The War had aparticular impact on one member, Mr D JPage who was elected as Captain for1942 but within a few weeks was calledup to serve in the Navy and was missingfor most of his year in office.

A new clubhouseThe very first golf clubhouse at

Beauchief was a wooden shack on theAbbeydale Road side of the railwaylines, in the grounds of the present dayBeauchief Hotel. At the time, countyboundaries meant that the clubhouse wasin Yorkshire whilst the course was inDerbyshire. The first request forprovision of a permanent Beauchiefclubhouse was made to the ParksCommittee early in 1934. They reactedremarkably speedily and the Pavilion wasofficially opened by the Lord Mayor on11th April 1935.

Over the years, there was regularcontact between the Club and Town Hallofficials over issues that arose. Mostlythese concerned the need for bettermaintenance of the course and theclubhouse. In general, the Councilreacted favourably and speedily whenapproached. One issue that took sometime to reach a conclusion was a plea toallow golf on Sundays. The first requestwas lodged in 1931 and this was repeatedevery year until permission was finallygranted in 1940.

A new managementSince 1996, whilst still owned by

Sheffield City Council along withSheffield’s other municipal courses,Beauchief has been managed bySheffield International Venues. Thisattracted some extra investment and theattention given has resulted in goodcourse maintenance with some greatlyneeded drainage improvements and muchimproved clubhouse facilities.

My thanks go to the current ClubPresident, John Milsom who has beensearching through the club archives andhas passed over some gems for thisarticle.

Beauchief witnessed some of my ownearly experiences of ‘hacking’ around agolf course and retains a solid place inmy affections. It is a good, testing shortcourse, where you’ll rarely find the ballat same level as your feet. There are somebeautiful views, try the sight of theDerbyshire Peaks while waiting at thesecond tee or gazing at the Abbey ruinsfrom anywhere on the course on a sunnyday and it might lower your bloodpressure after the ‘disaster’ in the sandbunker at the previous hole!

Glynn Burgin

It seems appropriate while writing tosay a little bit about Beauchief Abbey andits origins:

Beauchief Abbey and its origins

A group of Premonstratensian priestsfrom a religious order founded by StNorbert from Prémontré in the Aisnedépartement of France settled atBeauchief and began building the Abbeyin around 1183. Over time the Abbey wasgranted huge swathes of land so that by1300 church possessions included partsof Ecclesall, Totley, Greenhill, Dore,Fulwood, Eckington, Staveley, Dronfieldand Chesterfield.

The Abbey would have been a hub ofreligious and commercial life in the areaand between 12 and 15 priests who woredistinctive white robes and were knownas ‘canons’ as they were ‘ordained’priests, lived and worked in the Abbey.They controlled local industries asdiverse as agriculture, mining andbrewing and exploiting the naturalwaterways by overseeing water mills.

Henry VIII’s Dissolution of theMonasteries led to the demise of the

Abbey. The building itself wasvandalised by the King’s men with itemsof any value removed, windows weresmashed and the lead was stripped fromthe roof. As the building fell into ruin theKing sold the land at Beauchief to SirNicholas Strelley for £223 and in 1648this came through the marriage ofGertrude Strelley and Edward Pegge intothe possession of the Strelley-Pegge-Burnell family. They would keep it forthe best part of the next three centuries.

The Abbey church building wasrestored in the 1660’s and a chapel wasconstructed that extended from theremains of the medieval Abbey tower.This chapel and tower remain as thechurch building today. The rest of thebuilding however was by then in a verypoor state and much of the stone wastaken a short distance up the hill and usedfor the building of Beauchief Hall. Thiswas completed in 1671 and replaced theMonastic lodge that had previouslyserved as the family home.

Beauchief Abbey as featured on an old postcard and photographed beforeencirclement by the golf course. It is interesting to compare this with the front pagepicture in our last issue, where the background hill in this shot is now covered inhousing. The ivy on the tower is long gone with trees now growing to its right.

Ward Forum

I was interested to hear, recently, fromtwo sources, that the Ward Forum, haddied. Both sources had been present atthe public meeting, on 28th. February,along with about 25 other people, when Iwas elected as the coordinator, of theWard Forum, in order to keep it going! Itis not dead!

It was agreed, however, that therewould not be regular meetings, as in thepast, but meetings would be arranged todiscuss the findings of “Focus Groups”.

An example is the Traffic Focus Groupwhich was set up to discuss trafficproblems affecting areas within theWard, e.g.at Dore, Totley & Bradway.Representatives from each of Bradway,Dore, Totley & Whirlow areas werepresent at the first meeting, and havesubsequently kept in contact via email. Iam the coordinator of the group, and ithas been kept as informal as possible.

Dore told us that they were alreadyinvestigating their parking problem, witha survey, and subsequent public meeting.The local councillors had already decidedto carry out a survey, so we backed offthat issue, but Alan Kewley, fromBradway, alerted the group to a proposalfor 20 MPH restrictions on suburbanroads. We involved the local councillors,who initially were not enthusiastic, theSouth West Community Assembly, andmembers attended meetings to gatherinformation.

The outcome, was that the councillors

became enthusiastic, and the South WestCommunity Assembly called a publicmeeting, on 26 January. The Ward Forumhas been an experiment, but I hope totake it further than that. I aim to get itestablished, as a useful medium forresidents, businesses and serviceorganisations, to raise for discussion,issues or complaints, which affect thewider area than that already covered by acommunity/residents group. Or an issuewhich an existing group do not wish topursue or do not have the time or skills topursue.

Existing groups will be invited to beinvolved, on a Focus Group and I do notsee the Ward Forum as taking anythingover from anybody, unless the existinggroup wish it to do so. Interestedresidents will also be invited to play theirpart, either as affected persons or havingskills, knowledge or an interest in thearea under discussion. My role is to acton an issue or complaint, which has beenraised, or has come to my attention, tocoordinate the setting up of a FocusGroup.

I do not wish to be directly involved ineach Focus Group. I shall, however, hopeto be “kept in the loop” by email, by thegroup, and when necessary, arrange apublic meeting to inform the wideraudience, including councillors, officersand The South West CommunityAssembly Manager, of the outcome ofthe Group’s findings, together withrecommendations.

The Ward Forum, those people in

attendance at the public meeting, willdecide on the outcome of thedeliberations, and any actions which theydeem is needed.

I shall chair Ward Forum meetings, butI will be very grateful if anyone wouldoffer their services as minute secretary. Itis not an onerous task, as it is unlikelythat there will be more than threemeetings a year, unless that personwishes to participate in the FocusGroups, as a minute secretary.

Driving in France

From July 1st this year, all drivers onFrench roads must carry disposablebreathalyser kits to check they’re notover the limit to drive. Those without kitscan be fined 17 euros. There’s been amad rush to buy these in the UK andprices are also higher than in France atpresent.

Before getting onto the ferry, check youhave all the other requirements too:

Headlight deflectors; GB sticker if yournumberplate doesn’t already have a GBon it; First Aid kit; Yellow reflectingjacket for at least the driver (and wear itif you break down); Spare bulb kit, forthe car you’re driving and a Warningtriangle.

Dog passport, road map, new MotorwayWalks in France book and water also agood idea.

HGV Routes

Sheffield Council plans a network ofrecommended HGV routes within thecity, and has asked its Highways divisionto consult all concerned, includingadjacent councils, and submit a report toCabinet within the next month or two.Distinction would be made betweenHGVs visiting sites within the city, eg.supermarkets, and through traffic, eg.from Derbyshire quarries to themotorway network.

Local residents’ views are obviouslyimportant, but few are aware of this.Information has been circulated to some,with a request for comments by 25 May,and our Ward Forum’s Traffic focusgroup now has a copy. But we found this

difficult to understand, and requested apublic meeting to answer questions.

This was raised initially at the SWCommunity Assembly on 29-Marchfollowing a story in The Star, but none ofour councillors could answer. So SWCAcalled a special public meeting on 15May to enable us to discuss theseproposals before the deadline.

One of the documents circulated is a listof hot-spots reported over the past 6years, which would be used as evidencein this report. So it’s up to us to ensureany local hot-spots are included on thislist. In the meantime, if anyone wants toknow more, please contact our WardForum who’ll try to monitor this on ourbehalf.

He has supplied plants tocountries all round the world and hasestablished a reputation as an expert onhybrid cacti as far afield as Japan.

‘The Garden Code’

There is a very simple formula withplants that could revolutionise yourgarden. A formula that if you apply it andthen perhaps experiment with it a littleyou can create stunning, interestingborders that may even be award winning.The formula ‘1+2+3=balance’.

For our code 1 = a Thriller (or featureplant), 2 =3 x filling plants and 3 = 5 xspillers - smoothing covering plants. Tosee the best results picking 3 and 5 of thesame plant makes the biggest impact.

The breakdown:Code number 1: ‘Thriller’ or ‘feature

plants’ sound expensive but don’t need tobe. All we are talking about are plantsthat form the back bone of a border thatstand above the surrounding plants anddraw your eye to focal points around thegarden. Upright plants make the perfectfeatures, especially in small gardens.Examples such as upright Pines,Ceanothus, Philadelphus (look for theshorter newer varieties), taller JapaneseMaples, Twisted Hazel, and Fatsias orBamboo (for a tropical look) would begood plants to choose. They willnormally be woody perennials so thatyou have some interest all year round.

Code number 2: ‘Filling plants’ don’tsound very inspiring but it describes howthey fill the gap between the two other‘layers’. Filling plants should be greatplants in their own right. They can bewoody perennials or herbaceousperennials*. Good examples of woodyperennials are Fuchsias, smallerHydrangeas, Smaller Rhododendrons,Roses, Potentilla, Blueberry (yes the onesyou eat) or Cistus. Herbaceous perennialsthat should be considered include,Echinacea, Achillea, Alstromeria,Anemone, Coreopsis, Crocosmia,Verbascum and many more.

Code number 3: ‘Spillers’ or tumblingplants. Using ‘Spillers’ has the aim ofcovering your soil or allowing plants totumble over low walls. This layer is thefront of your border. You can use rockery

plants such as Aubretia and Phlox,bedding plants and low shrubs such asDwarf Rhododendrons, Rock Roses,small leaves Hebes and Thyme. Lowgrowing herbaceous perennial’s includeBergenia, Heuchera, Alchemilla,Campanula (short), coreopsis and HardyGeraniums.

Why combinations of 1, 3, 5? Oddnumbers of plants always look good.Even numbers of plants always lookawkward in an informal border. Advancepractitioners might try mixing in a run of7 plants to link two groups together. Ifyou have a formal garden style you canuse even numbers.

This principle can be repeated along aborder, changing the combinations as yougo. I haven’t mentioned colour themes orcombinations, nor sun, shade, and soiltype. Check any plants you are thinkingof buying with your garden first. That isto say, it’s important to note or rememberwhich are your sunny borders and at whattime of day they are sunny. Note shadyparts and very wet spots. Then you canmake sure your select plants that thrive.

Neil GrantFerndale Garden Centre

* Woody perennials are plants withwoody stems that live from year to yearin your garden. Herbaceous perennialsare plants that ‘die’ down to their rootsevery winter but grow again every springand summer.

British Summer Time

So now it is British Summer Time andwe have all observed the bi-annual ritualof changing our clocks and watches. Butwhy did we start playing with time ?

It’s all down to William Willet, a builderborn in 1856. He enjoyed early morninghorse rides in Kent and whilst partaking,he often considered what a waste of timeit was that people were still asleep intheir beds. In 1907, he published apamphlet called ‘The Waste of Daylight’which outlined plans to get people upearlier by changing the clocks. Thegovernment refused to allow it and Willetdied a frustrated man in 1915.

Fighting the First World War sharpenedthe government’s focus and in 1916, justone year after Willet’s death, they re-considered his plans in an effort to savecoal. They quickly passed the SummerTime Act 1916 and the first day of BritishSummer Time (BST) took place on 21stMay 1916.

Now transformed into a hero for hisjolly good idea, William Willet’s

favourite wood, Petts Wood in Kent, waspurchased and preserved in his name andthere is a memorial in the form of asundial to him there.

From 1968 – 1971, Britainexperimented with keeping the clockspermanently at BST. At the end of theexperiment, their findings showed clearbenefits, but also definite disadvantagesand so they decided to return to the twiceyearly clock change.

And that’s roughly where we still aretoday. Occasionally, someone resurrectsthe idea of keeping BST, only to find itquashed by those who would bedisadvantaged by the change. No doubt,it will rumble on for a long time to come.

Idle thoughtsfrom a wandering mind

I planted some bird seed. A bird cameup. Now I don’t know what to feed it.

I had amnesia once - or twice. All I ask is a chance to prove that

money can’t make me happy. They told me I was gullible and I

believed them.Experience is the thing you have left

when everything else is gone.

Teach a child to be polite and courteousin the home and, when they grow upthey’ll never be able to merge their carinto traffic on the motorway.

One thing about egoists: they don’t talkabout other people.

My weight is perfect for my height -which varies.

I used to be indecisive. Now I’m notsure.

If swimming is good for your figure,how do you explain whales?
