Book Synopsis Bowland and Pendle Hill by : William Reginald Mitchell
Download or read book Bowland and Pendle Hill written by William Reginald Mitchell and published by Phillimore. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOWLAND AND PENDLE have long been jointly designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An isolated upland area, just west of the Pennines, it is within an hour's drive for more than five million people in East Lancashire and West Yorkshire. In increasing numbers they come to enjoy its unsullied landscape, unpolluted rivers and virtually intact rural heritage. In the deep little dales between its heath-capped hills, the villages and farms, of local stone, look like outcrops ...The Forest of Bowland was a royal hunting ground in which no king ever hunted, though the royal connection lingers through the Duchy of Lancaster. The Parker family of Browsholme owe their surname to their ancient association with a deer-park. Pendle Hill, which stands in grand isolation, was described by a 17th-century poet as a 'rownd cop, surveying all ye wilde moore lands'. In the 17th century the famous Pendle Witches flourished. Living on the south side of the hill, they were not true hill folk, but a report of their trial at Lancaster adds to the rich traditions of the area. The author, a celebrated authority on both the history and the natural history of the area, has here produced the definitive account of Bowland and Pendle Hill in a very entertaining text, illuminated by a superb selection of illustrations. Shielded from the outer world by its moorland tracts and still conserving some of the best elements of English rural life, this fascinating 'back-water', said by the Ordnance Survey to be the geographical centre of Britain, is now splendidly explored and explained. There are many in Lancashire and Yorkshire - and much further afield - who will be grateful to Dr Mitchell and will warmly welcome his book.

Download or read book Home Ground written by Andrew Stachulski and published by M-Y Books Limited. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essence of 'Home Ground' is a collection of twenty walks, ranging from about five to fifteen miles in length, situated in the North West of England. The criterion for selection is that each walk must be situated in whole or in part on Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 'Landranger' map no. 103 (Blackburn and Burnley). This was the map used by the author when he first began to explore the area almost fifty years ago, and these long personal associations, heightened by a long absence from the area, make this truly his home ground. Within this relatively small area there is a rich variety of beautiful scenery, largely unsung, all lying within some twenty miles of industrial East Lancashire. From the suburbs of Blackburn to the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, from the sweeping fells of the Forest of Bowland to the wooded valleys and heights of Calderdale, these walks have something to offer to walkers of practically all tastes. Both the Forest of Bowland and the Pennine Way feature strongly on the map and in the book, and extra sections discuss these features. Especially the Forest of Bowland, recognized as an area of outstanding national beauty but not a national park, is introduced in some detail as its charm and many opportunities for the walker and day visitor are still little known. The Pennine Way, which features in three of the walks, is mentioned more autobiographically as the author recalls his own experience of the Way and its wider relationship to Northern England. About the Author Andrew Stachulski was born in Blackburn in 1950, the son of a Polish father and English mother, and grew up in nearby Great Harwood. He was educated at Accrington Grammar School from 1961 to 1968, when he gained entrance to read Natural Sciences at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He graduated with firstclass honours in 1971 and, after winning a senior scholarship, he remained at the college to study for a Ph. D. under the supervision of Professor Alan (now Sir Alan) Battersby. Following the completion of his doctorate in 1974, he held postdoctoral fellowships with the Medical Research Council and at Jesus College, Oxford until 1978. There followed a long period of employment in the chemical industry, first with Beecham Pharmaceuticals (later SmithKline Beecham) and then Ultrafine Chemicals, Manchester. In 2001 he fulfilled a longheld ambition by returning to academic life at the University of Liverpool, becoming a senior lecturer in 2003. Recently (Jan., 2010) he moved to take up a senior research fellowship at the University of Oxford. Walking has always been a great love of his life, beginning in the Ribble Valley and Pendle country of his native Lancashire. In the mid 1970s he completed a number of Britain's longdistance footpaths, the Pennine Way, Offa's Dyke Path and Coast to Coast walk, accompanied by college friends. Subsequently he climbed all the principal fells of the Lake District, where he often returns, and from 1981 again with a college friend he began to climb in the Scottish Highlands. In 2003 he completed the circuit of all the 'Munros', the separate Scottish mountains of 3,000 ft. or greater height. His first walks were planned with the aid of the old one inch to one mile Ordnance Survey map of Blackburn and Burnley, and that is truly his home ground. It was particularly following his return to the North in 1991, then living in Greater Manchester, that this book came to be planned. Old walks familiar from childhood, in the Ribble and Hodder valleys, Pendle country, South Pennines and the Forest of Bowland were revisited and built on, and many new ones were added. From these the twenty walks featured in this book have been selected, walks which appeal personally to the author through their beauty or special associations, or which in his view speak most clearly of the characteristics of the area.

Book Synopsis Moorlands of England and Wales by : Simmons Ian G Simmons
Download or read book Moorlands of England and Wales written by Simmons Ian G Simmons and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of the moorlands and the part they have played in English and Welsh history over ten millennia. Ian Simmons combines the perspectives of natural science, archaeology, social history and historical geography, and draws on forty years of exploring and studying the moorlands. Starting with a description of their origins and how they have changed under the impact of human and natural forces, Simmons shows how perceptions of the moors have been influenced by writers, artists and the media (and how they have been inspired by the moors), and how these perceptions have resulted in great changes in attitudes to moorland use and management. The book begins by offering some concise understanding of the physical and natural characteristics of moorlands. It then gives an account of how hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period altered their surroundings using fire. It describes how millennia of agricultural production wrought distinctive moorland landscapes and how these in turn were affected and sometimes transformed by industrialisation, afforestation and changes in farming methods. The renewed impetus in the twentieth century for environmental management and conservation brings the story near to the present. The North Pennines, Dartmoor and South Wales are the subject of detailed accounts that reveal the common characteristics of the moorlands as well as their marked contrasts. Beyond the recent crises of overgrazing and the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak, Ian Simmons lays out some possible futures for the moors.
Book Synopsis Not Such a Bad Life by : Dave Thomas
Download or read book Not Such a Bad Life written by Dave Thomas and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Weller was a one-club player. He moved from sunny Brighton aged just 16 to dreary Burnley, with its grey skies, run-down terraced streets and mill chimneys, where riots were among the first things he saw. A more timid person might have caught the first train home. But he went on to play 252 games for the Clarets between 1993 and 2005. He would have played many more but for suffering the debilitating effects of colitis. It took a huge chunk out of his career, forcing him out of the first team. Other players might have capitulated, but he faced the problem head on, battled it and beat it and got back into the first team, with a promotion to the Championship. Remarkably, he was 'player of the season' the very next year. This is a real-life story of how to overcome obstacles and fight illness using courage, grit and determination. But it is also a story of the bullying, pitfalls and perils that await any aspiring footballer, the impact of managers and the inhuman cruelty with which players can be so casually released.
