Railways in the Peak District : A History
The Peak District has always been a formidable barrier to transport links across it, particularly railways.The first crude horse-drawn tramways fed canals on its eastern and western flanks, but in 1830 – only five years after the Stockton & Darlington Railway opened – a standard gauge line climbed over the top of the Peak District and down the other side on fearsome inclines to connect canals at Cromford and Whaley Bridge. Sheffield and Manchester were connected in 1845 by the first line across the Pennines through the notorious Woodhead Tunnel, followed by a gradual infilling of lines connecting Peak District towns and villages.Some of them became as famous as the Settle–Carlisle route, such were the engineering difficulties of driving a route through the limestone dales.The line between Dore and Chinley was the last main line in England to be driven across the Pennines in two huge tunnels. At its height the Peak District railway system encompassed a narrow gauge light railway for tourists, cable-hauled inclines to export limestone, seven of the UK’s twenty longest railway tunnels, and Britain’s first all-electric main line. The birth of British Railways in 1948 and the subsequent Beeching axe were the death knell for many of these unique railways.Today some of the tracks can still be followed on foot, bicycle or horseback thanks to the Peak District National Park and other leisure organisations.The historic tunnels, viaducts and stations on the most famous routes have been restored and reopened as long-distance footpaths and heritage lines – a renaissance to be enjoyed by today’s tourists.

Barrow-in-Furness & District: A Potted History
In the Middle Ages, Barrow was a small settlement close to Furness Abbey.The Furness peninsula is still a largely rural area, and Furness Abbey is now a ruin, but the town of Barrow-in-Furness grew during the Industrial Revolution to become an important steel producer and exporter, exploiting the mineral deposits in mines nearby and its position on the coast.Later it became a major manufacturer of naval vessels, best known today for building Royal Navy submarines.The monastic movement played an important part in the settlement and economy of medieval Furness, not only at Furness Abbey but also Conishead Priory, alongside the manorial system.Over the centuries the area experienced Scottish incursion and other invasions, piracy and smuggling, plague, uprisings, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Civil War battles, the Quaker movement, the attention of Romantic writers and artists, railways and industrialisation and the effect of both World Wars. Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Barrow and the surrounding area has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the area.

What is district heating and district cooling?
District heating is a system where heat is generated at a central location and then distributed through a network of insulated pipes to provide heating to multiple buildings or homes in a specific area. District cooling is a similar concept, but instead of distributing heat, it distributes chilled water to provide cooling to buildings in the district. Both district heating and district cooling systems are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to individual heating and cooling systems for each building, as they allow for centralized energy production and reduce overall energy consumption.

What is the difference between a district town, a district-free city, and a city district?
A district town is a town that serves as the administrative center of a district, often housing government offices and providing services to the surrounding area. A district-free city, on the other hand, is a city that is not part of any district and has its own independent administrative status. It has the authority to govern itself and is not subject to the jurisdiction of a district. A city district, on the other hand, is a specific area within a city that is designated for administrative or planning purposes, often with its own local government and services.
-
Is the district administrator like the mayor, but for a district?
Yes, the district administrator is similar to a mayor but at a smaller scale. While a mayor is responsible for governing a city, the district administrator oversees the operations and services within a specific district or area. Both positions involve making decisions, managing resources, and representing the interests of the community, but the district administrator's scope of authority is limited to a smaller geographic area compared to a mayor.
-
Can a district administrator refuse to accommodate refugees in his district?
A district administrator cannot refuse to accommodate refugees in his district based solely on their refugee status. Refugees have legal rights and protections under international law, and it is the responsibility of the government to provide them with necessary support and assistance. Refusing to accommodate refugees could be considered a violation of human rights and could lead to legal consequences. It is important for district administrators to work with relevant authorities and organizations to ensure that refugees are properly accommodated and supported.

District heating is a system where heat is generated at a central location and then distributed through a network of insulated pipes to provide heating to multiple buildings or homes in a specific area. This centralized system is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to individual heating systems in each building. District heating can use various sources of heat, such as waste heat from industrial processes, geothermal energy, or biomass, making it a versatile and sustainable option for heating communities.
