Aspull info
Aspull, lying northeast of Wigan
in Greater Manchester,
United Kingdom, is a pleasant residential village
betraying little evidence of its mining and textile
past. With Haigh Country Park estate to the west
and Borsdane Wood to the east it still retains
a rural aspect, and boasts superb views towards
the West Pennine Moors.
The Aspull area of Wigan has a long history of
mining, which dates back to the 1700’s,
leaving a legacy of old mineshafts, water drainage
tunnels (soughs) and abandoned mine workings.
One such ‘sough’ in Haigh Country
Park for many years has discharged iron rich minewater
into the Yellow Brook causing significant deterioration
in the aquatic fauna and flora smothering the
brook and River Douglas some 460m downstream with
ochre deposits.
The Coal Authority acquired part of the former
Alexandra opencast site for a passive treatment
scheme with a ‘window of opportunity’
existing to share access to the site with a new
build school development.
Ascot Environmental Ltd worked on the £0.75M
project to construct a pumping station, twin pipelines,
3 settlement lagoons, 3 reedbeds and extensive
landscaping. The scheme was completed in Summer
2004 and provides the benefits of:-
Improving the water quality in the Yellow Brook
and River Douglas, as a result, removing the visual
impact of the discolouration within the Haigh
Country Park.
Reducing the impact on wildlife by allowing invertebrate
/ fauna to thrive, allowing fish to populate the
brook once more.
Improving the public amenity of the area by removing
unsightly iron ochre deposits.
The project included the careful translocation
of rare Marsh Orchids to specially prepared landscaped
areas. The completed treatment scheme with developing
wildlife habitat, public access, information boards,
forms a valuable local amenity and school learning
experience for the Aspull community whilst enhancing
the wider Country Park.
About Manchester
Manchester
is a city in the north-west of
England. The metropolitan borough of Manchester,
with a population of 422,302, lies at the heart
of a large conurbation called Greater
Manchester, with a population of 2,513,468.
Greater Manchester is also a
metropolitan county in England
established in 1974 which covers an area roughly
encompassing the conurbation of Manchester. It
is situated in North West England. It has borders
with the ceremonial counties of Cheshire (inc.
Warrington), Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire
(inc. Blackburn with Darwen) and Merseyside. As
well as Manchester, the county includes major
centres such as Salford,
Bury, Bolton,
Stockport and Wigan.
Greater Manchester is not entirely built-up. Although
Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford,
Trafford and Stockport,
other boroughs, such as Wigan
and Bury are clearly separate.
Towns in the
Manchester urban area include Salford,
Sale, Altrincham,
Cheadle, Stockport,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
and Oldham, Bury,
Rochdale, Stockport
and Stretford. Places
like Trafford and
Salford can be considered
part of the Manchester urban area in a way that
Wigan or Bolton
are not.
The term "Manchester" is often used
to refer to the entire conurbation, much as "London"
is usually used to mean Greater London, but many
of the constituent parts of Greater Manchester,
such as Salford, Wigan and Bolton, also have separate
identities. People from Manchester are called
Mancunians.
