‘Extreme Weather Events’ in Chichester By local historian Andrew Berriman

Great Storm, Avenue De Chartes

What is most ‘Chichester’ about October? Sloe Fair, perhaps? It started way back in 1107AD, and lasted eight days. Now it’s just one day, October 20th, unless that date falls on a Sunday (as it does this year). It’s still held on the same site, on Northgate field. But I’m too doddery for funfairs, too scared of Big Wheels, too old for coconuts or goldfish. For me, October in Chichester is all about extreme weather events. The Great Storm, overnight on Thursday 16th October 1987, was by far the biggest natural event that I have experienced in Chichester…even if I did sleep right through it. How was it for you, that night?

It was called a storm, rather than a hurricane, but winds certainly reached hurricane force, 115mph being recorded at 3.10am in Shoreham. The scale of the destruction was staggering; over 15 million trees toppled in a huge swathe across the southern counties of England. The ‘Great Storm’ photos were taken by a local resident, Jean Ogilvie. It was the fallen large tree in the Bishop’s Palace Gardens which unearthed a Roman coin under the Walls’ foundations, thus causing the Walls’ construction to be dated much later than previously thought.

In fact, Chichester in October has had many ‘extreme weather events’. Earthquakes even. Go on, admit it, you’ve never associated Chichester with earthquakes; it sounds so unlikely and farfetched. In fact, quite the reverse; several have been recorded locally.

My good friend, Alan Green, can remember a Chichester earthquake in 1963. It was at night-time; he remembers his bedroom windows rattling, even though it wasn’t windy outside. Its strength was 4.7 on the Richter scale of magnitude; Chichester was its epicentre, and according to reports, Portsmouth ‘rocked’. Quite a few years earlier, in October 1638, there were ‘several earthquake shocks, which did great damage, with a smell like pitch and sulphur’.

I recently came across a fascinating source in our marvellous West Sussex Record Office: ‘Some remarkable events in the city of Chichester’ (ADMS 29710). Our weather in 2019 may indeed be far more extreme than it used to be, as a result of climate change and global warming, but my goodness,

they seem to have it just as extreme, if not more so, back in the 1830s.

1734 October 25th Dr. Edward Bayley reported that earthquake shocks ‘had been felt for several miles around Chichester. People perceived rocking of their beds and houses, with a rumbling noise of their drawers and other moveables’.

1824 July 15th: ‘The lightning’s electric fluid passed down the chimney of the Hack’s house in Little London. It melted the bell wires, injured the wallpaper, singed the woollen hangings of a servant’s bed, and slightly scorched Mrs. Hack’.

1833 September 18th: ‘An earthquake caused a rock -fall in a chalk-pit at Cocking, killing a workman’.

1833 October 13th: ‘A most severe shock of an earthquake, attended with a loud rumbling noise, caused the Town Clock to strike at 4.20pm 1834 January 23rd: ‘A violent shock of an earthquake was experienced at 2.40 a.m. Considerable alarm was caused, many leaving their beds and houses. A stack of chimneys was shaken down’.

1834 October 21st: ‘At 10.30pm there was a loud rumbling noise, with powerful vibrations of the earth.

Glasses were rattled, bells were rung, and the large town clock Great Storm, Litten Terrace struck. Several chimneys were thrown down, and windows broken’.

1834 November 13th: ‘A violent storm and lightning caused a chimney in Mr. Dendy’s home in Southgate to fall. A fine old elm, standing in a meadow belonging to the Dean, was torn up by the roots’.

1836 November 29th: ‘A violent hurricane destroyed a whole stack of chimneys, with tiles whizzing through the air. The new church at Northgate lost the top of its pinnacles, two of which fell through the roof and ceiling, just clearing the organ’.

1838 October 28th: ‘Gales caused a beautiful acacia, which ornamented the garden of the Philosophical Society, to be blown down, which injured the garden wall’.

1838 December 2nd: ‘Another night of thunder and lightning caused the fall of one of the pinnacles from the tower of St. Paul’s church. This pinnacle, which was 14 feet high, passed through the roof and gallery, and demolished 10 or 12 seats’.

10 weather events, half of them happened in October. Did I mention the date of the 1963 Chichester earthquake? Yes, you’ve guessed? October 25th.

Don’t want to alarm you, but this month, do mind how you go.

Competition / Council News 13

Win a pair of tickets to see Don Quixote The Russian State Ballet and Opera House, Portsmouth Don Quixote was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa, and was first presented by the Ballet of the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow in December 1869. The Ballet lived on in Russia well after the Revolution of 1917 and became part of the permanent repertoire both of the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre and the Leningrad Kirov Theatre.

We have a pair of tickets available for New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth on 4th November 7.30pm.

Tickets and info visit www.russian-state-ballet.co.uk

The Russian State Ballet and Opera House is back for its annual UK tour with spell binding, lavish, fullproduction touring ballet. Featuring a live Orchestra with over 30 musicians, music by Ludwig Minkus.

Don Quixote delights in stories of brave knights, fabulous giants and other fantastical creatures. But most of all, he dreams of his beloved Dulcinea, a woman that he believes to be so lovely and noble that she must be divine. His dreams are of their romantic adventures. Love, duels and spectacular choreography are mixed with a dash of Spanish passion in this most beautiful and moving ballet.

Chichester City Council Edited extracts from the minutes of the Community Affairs Committee meeting held on 2nd September 2019.

Community Wardens The Mayor, on behalf of the Committee, thanked the Wardens for their continued hard work in the City.

The Mayor raised the matter of the lack of a Community Warden for the North of the City and noted that there had not originally been a need for one but with the increasing population and new building work taking place he thought the case for a new North Chichester Community Warden was a strong one. It was resolved to contact Chichester District Council regarding the business case.

Floral Displays The Town Clerk updated the Committee about his discussions with the existing Contractors (Ferring Nurseries) with regard to changes to the planting schemes currently undertaken throughout the City centre. It was noted that the present planting schemes attracted many compliments from members of the public.

The Town Clerk also advised that the current contract was due to be market tested so it was seen as appropriate that the overall planting scheme be reviewed at the same time.

In view of the declared Climate Emergency and the remit of the Task and Finish Group (Climate Change), the possibility of providing a mix of formal planting Chichester Council House with less formal planting of perennial plants aimed at encouraging pollinators and other beneficial wildlife; was discussed.

The Contractor had advised the Town Clerk that this type of planting was generally more expensive to undertake and would require ongoing maintenance to ensure the planting looked presentable all year round. There was currently no resource within the Property Team to undertake additional maintenance of this kind.

It was noted that Chichester District Council had undertaken more perennial planting in Jubilee Gardens but due to cost savings it appeared that they had been unable to maintain it as often as necessary.

The Committee agreed that the planted areas maintained by the City Council should be maintained to the highest standards. Councillor Carter noted the work undertaken by volunteers with particular reference to the Bishop’s Palace Gardens as well as getting external experts, interested parties and members of the public involved. www.chichester.gov.uk

The wonderful world of My Moozik!

Bridging the gap between nursery rhymes and the bad stuff!

My Moozik is a brand shiny new musical venture for children which is designed to bridge the gap between nursery rhymes and inappropriate pop music. The debut album ‘My Day’ is packaged with a beautifully illustrated, hardback, lyric book, and is the first album that parents will truly love as much as kids.

The album has been designed to take into account the role that music can play when it comes to helping children manage their routine and develop their emotional intelligence. The songs explore key themes such as kindness, making friends, why we learn, why we have to eat our greens and everything inbetween.

But make no mistake the album is chock full of catchy, contemporary pop songs which the children will love.

This impressive venture has been created by Lottie Faulkner, the sister and manager of

double-platinum selling artist Newton Faulkner, who wrote and performed the songs with his older brother Toby and their friend Jimmy Sims. Their father, Keith Faulkner is a celebrated children’s author with well-known best-sellers such as The Wide Mouth Frog.

My Moozik will be donating a percentage of profits to primary schools around the country to help fund music lessons for children unable to access them.

To pre-order the album visit www.mymoozik.com

16 Nature

As the nights draw in....

By Roy Newnham, Visitor Experience Officer, RSPB Pagham Harbour The leaves are falling, our summer visitors have left and our wildlife is busy preparing for the leaner, harder times ahead. Birds race to put on weight to see them through the winter. Gobbling up berries and returning to our garden feeders, they make the most of the daylight hours. The shadows lengthen and the smell of warm, comforting, open fires drifts on the breeze as the light fades...

Under the moonlight a spider spins her web, while a ghostly apparition floats over the fields.

A shriek from among the trees cuts through the silence and blackened, swollen, ‘dead man’s fingers’ rise from the Orange Fungi ground. Don’t worry, there are no zombies clawing their way out of their graves. ‘Dead man’s fingers’ are just one of many fungi that can be found at this time of year. Fungi have long been associated with death, decay and magic, but are themselves fascinating organisms with complex lives and come in an array of different forms and colours - pinks, reds, orange, green, purple and even blue. They also come with some wonderful names, such as ‘pink disco’, ‘plums and custard’ and ‘hotlips’. Of course, there are some more sinister ones too - ‘witches butter’, ‘deathcap’, ‘funeral bell’ and ‘twisted deceiver’!

Meanwhile the screech is the tawny owl and the ghostly apparition a barn owl. Having spent most of the year rearing, feeding and nurturing their young, even long after they fledged, adult tawny owls now turn on their offspring, driving them away with much ferocity. Having established a territory, the male will then attempt to attract a mate with its more familiar ‘hoo-hoo-oo’. Flying silently over the ground, often hovering, with white underwings and a white breast, it is easy to understand why the barn owl was once known as the ‘ghost owl’ or ‘demon owl’. They were seen as omens of ill fortune and the practise of nailing one above the door to ward off evil continued into the nineteenth century. However, when farmers

Barn Owl by John Bridges

and clergymen realised how efficient the owls were at ridding buildings of rodents and other small mammals, they were encouraged to nest in barns and churches.

It is also no coincidence that at this time of year, spiders appear far bigger and far more numerous. Garden spiders reach maturity in the autumn. They have a white cross on their back and sit at the hub of their archetypal, large round webs, which give the family its name of ‘orb web spiders’. Each night it will dismantle its impressive construction, eating the silk and recycling the amino acids, before building a brand new one ready for the next day. The morning dew sparkling on fields and lawns reveals glistening gossamer seas. Millions of threads lay across the grass, created by the attempts of tiny money spiders dispersing to avoid competing with their parents and siblings.

They climb blades of grass, point their bottoms in the air and release silk. As the wind catches it, more Garden Spider by Ben Andrews silk is pulled and eventually it is long enough to whisk the spiderlings up into the air, an act called ‘ballooning’. In this way the spider may travel just a few metres or hundreds of miles. And the lonely house spider that scurries across the living room carpet or is found trapped in the bath? Well spare a thought for this lovesick arachnid before you throw him out into the cold. He is merely full of passion and forced by his ardour to leave the safety of his lair in a quest to find a mate.

It is no surprise that October evenings feel a little bit spooky and we are celebrating the season this month with a variety of events. Join our Site Manager and immerse yourself in the world of fungi on our Beginners Guide, or learn how to capture this, most evocative of seasons, with our Wildlife Photography workshop. During half-term we will be making bird-feeders for hungry birds and learning more about owls! Before long our winter visitors will arrive and if you wish to ensure you have the best equipment to view them with, why not come along to our Binocular and Telescope Open Day. October is the also the month to clean out nest boxes and if you still have time on your hands, why not join our team of volunteers.

Boosting Your Immune System for the Winter

By Heather Smith As we head towards the end of the summer, it‟s a good time to start thinking about how best to keep the winter bugs at bay.

Moving on from gut health, having sufficient vitamin D, zinc and overall enough nutrients in your body is also important for maintaining immune health.

A massive percentage of our immune systems, about 70%, is based in our gut. So keeping our gut healthy is our best bet to keeping our immune system working at its best.

And, moving on from nutrition, making sure to keep moving is also effective at assisting your immune system. Just getting your 10,000 steps a day will help, although structured exercise like resistance training has been shown to improve the function of our immune system.

The best ways to keep our gut happy, healthy, strong and able to fight viruses, lies in feeding the millions of tiny bacteria which live there. They love fibre, so including plenty of a variety of fibre-rich vegetables is a good idea, making sure to include garlic and onions (ideally raw) which have both got antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Fermented food like kefir, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi can help boost your gut bacteria and improve your gut health too.

Sleep is another crucial factor, if you‟re not getting enough sleep, your immune system won‟t be working at its full capacity and so will be less effective at fighting off bugs. If you can make sleep a priority in your life, you‟ll notice a huge difference.

26 Charity Profile

Rockinghorse Children’s Charity Sussex giving for Sussex children. By Georgia Brown The Royal Alexandra Children‟s Hospital (the Alex) treats over 45,000 young patients in Sussex every year, providing in-patient facilities, including intensive care, outpatient care, and a dedicated Children‟s Emergency Department for children across the whole of the South East. Having a child admitted to hospital can be a time of intense distress, worry and uncertainty. Despite the Alex being a state-of-the-art facility, the unfamiliarity of a hospital can be disorientating and stressful for young patients and their families. This is why Rockinghorse Children‟s Charity, the official fundraising arm for the Alex, is so vital to ensure the wellbeing and comfort of young patients during their time in hospital, providing facilities and equipment that the hospital would not be able to fund otherwise.

Rockinghorse is a Brighton-based charity that has been supporting children across the whole of Sussex for over 50 years. It was set up in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann, who recognised there was a significant need for additional resources to improve healthcare services for sick children and babies. He was a pioneer in paediatric care and launched „the Rockinghorse appeal‟ in a bid to raise funds to provide the very first neonatal incubator outside of London. The charity‟s main aim is to improve the lives of sick children

throughout Sussex, and this is done through fundraising for life-saving and cutting-edge medical equipment, whilst ensuring that children are treated in an environment better suited to their needs.

Cheryl Piper, spokesperson for Rockinghorse, said “in more recent years, Rockinghorse has sought to extend its support to other hospitals, centres and services that need it. We now offer fundraising support to the Princess Royal Hospital and the Special Care Baby Unit in Haywards Heath, Worthing Hospital and St Richard‟s Hospital in Chichester. Elsewhere, we have been funding projects at children‟s respite centres, including Tudor House and Drove Road in Brighton.

We‟ve also ramped up our fundraising support for vital services, such as Chalkhill Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit based in Haywards Heath, which is the only unit of its kind in Sussex.”

Cheryl stressed that the wellbeing of young people has always been at the forefront of Rockinghorse‟s mission, and hopes the charity will continue to expand their support for children‟s services and paediatric care not just in Brighton, but across the county. She added, “Our charity has been intrinsic to the success of the Alex as a centre of excellence in the south. We strive to continue to provide the best possible support we can for the children of Sussex.”

Funds raised for Rockinghorse Children‟s Charity don‟t just benefit Brighton-based children being treated at the Alex, but rather benefit young people across the whole of Sussex, including Worthing and Chichester hospitals. Currently, Rockinghorse is supporting Worthing and Chichester hospitals by fundraising for a portable lung function machine. The new state-of-the-art equipment will be used to help specialists treat young patients with cystic fibrosis and other chronic chest problems such as asthma and bronchiectasis. The „Vyntus Spiro‟ machine will be able to measure accurate, high quality and up-to-date lung function to enable a faster and more accurate diagnosis for young lungs. Rockinghorse also recently supported Worthing Hospital‟s Bluefin Ward, the ward dedicated to the care of the hospital's babies, children and young people.

through the door

27

28 Charity Profile The charity are supporting Worthing Bluefin‟s play team by providing funding for toys, games and activities to benefit young patients admitted to the ward.

Their play and teenage rooms provide a muchneeded distraction to patients and siblings as well as providing a calm and comforting environment for families to interact and relax, away from the main ward and hospital beds. The funding will enable play team staff to provide toys, craft materials, activity and reading books, DVD‟s, iTunes vouchers and many more amenities to help distract young patients spending time in Bluefin. Providing fun items like this in the wards helps to create a more positive experience for the hospital‟s younger patients and can also help them recover faster. This is because sometimes, children can be in hospital for a very long time. So home comforts, access to fun activities and a place to focus on something other than their illness is incredibly important for children‟s wellbeing during their time in hospital. Rockinghorse believe that “no matter where they are, children should always be allowed to be children”, especially when they are unwell.

In order to continue providing for Sussex hospitals, fundraising and donations are crucial for Rockinghorse in order to keep the children‟s charity alive.

Cheryl said, “Rockinghorse is an independent charity that over the years, has become part of the fabric of the community that it serves. Rockinghorse remains local to the cause. The charity is not part of a large group or network of other charities, and has a small office based in central Brighton.”

Cheryl added, “we do not receive any local or central government funding, so rely solely on the support of businesses, schools, community groups, individuals and trusts. It is thanks to the generosity shown by the local community that keeps the Rockinghorse legacy alive. It‟s why we‟re able to make a real difference to the lives of poorly babies, children and adolescents all over Sussex. Without donations from the general public, a charity like Rockinghorse simply wouldn‟t exist. We are the people‟s charity; funded by the people, for the people.”

The struggles of the NHS are no secret, with demands on oversubscribed local GP‟s, funding cuts and evolving healthcare needs only scratching the surface of the pressures on our health care system. Yet, as long as charities like Rockinghorse are in place across the country, together we can ensure that vital services are protected and in place for many more years to

come. Without the vital funding provided by Rockinghorse, hospitals across Sussex would lack much of the crucial equipment needed to care for the thousands of young people that require hospital treatment every year.

Rockinghorse embodies everything positive about the Alex and its ability to lighten the lives of those who need extra support in times of need. The charity fundraises through the Rockinghorse shop, reselling clothes donations, running fundraising events, hosting the Rockinghorse lotto and recycling old vehicles in exchange for a donation with Give A Car.

30 Charity Profile Based on the impact the charity has made across Sussex, many may assume that Rockinghorse, a charity that has been running for over 50 years, has a large team of volunteers working on pursuing the charity’s mission. However, there are only eight people currently on the team at Rockinghorse; a small but mighty group of people who are passionate about improving the lives of children and young people during their time in hospital.

Cheryl says for her, the best part about working with other volunteers for Rockinghorse Children’s Charity is the eclectic sense of community the team feels when they are able to make an impact on children’s lives. She said, “to know that we are making such a profound difference is all the motivation we need. It’s what drives the team at Rockinghorse in their achievements and successes. Realising that we are having an impact in some way, no matter how big or small, is priceless. We are a small team of just nine members of staff and each of us play an important part in the donor journey. Our roles are varied and distinct, but we all work together as safe keepers of

Rockinghorse’s legacy, to ensure it is here long after we’re not.”

This Christmas season, Rockinghorse are hosting the annual festive Santa Dash in aid of the charity, a fun 5km running event where all participants wear their best Santa suits. This year’s Santa Dash will take place on Saturday 14th December from 8:30am12:00pm on Hove Lawns.

If you would like to support Rockinghorse on this occasion, they are looking for volunteers to help register the Santas on the day and hand out their Santa suits.

They will also need volunteers to hand out medals and refreshments for the runners as they come through the finish line. As well as these fun jobs, they will also be having a collection on the day so come down and shake a bucket for Rockinghorse to help raise lots of money for sick children in Sussex. If you can help at the event, please call 01273 330044 or email lucy.pond@rockinghorse.org.uk.

Contested Estates

By Lucy Thomas from Legalmatters

Big Rise in Contested Estates Attributed to DIY Wills The continuing rise in contested Wills is being attributed to more people attempting to write their own Will. Cases heard by the High Court went up from 227 in 2016 to 282 in 2017 and 368 in 2018.

Drafting a Will Drawing up a valid Will can be a complicated undertaking. Matters to be considered include whether to leave beneficiaries lump sum gifts or a percentage of the estate, who will inherit first if your estate is smaller than expected, how to ensure first and second families are both provided for, even if you die before your new spouse and how to minimise Inheritance Tax liabilities.

A small error made in drafting a Will can mean that it is invalid. If this happens, then there is a risk that the estate will pass under the rules of intestacy. This details which relatives will receive the estate and in what proportions. Unmarried partners and stepchildren do not inherit anything under the rules.

Why a Will might be challenged If the wording of a Will is ambiguous or the wrong terminology is used, there may be an opportunity for

Legal

35

someone to challenge it. Even the incorrect execution of a Will by the signatory and witnesses can mean that a Will is invalid. Mistakes are easy to make with the risk that will result in a long and expensive court case.

Why a professionally drafted Will is always recommended If, for example, you have remarried and you would like your spouse to live in your home after your death, but ultimately want it to pass to your children, a professional will be able to explain how this can be done and draw up a Will you can have confidence in.

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks

by Andrew Staib, Principal Designer of Glorious Gardens Creating a Bird Friendly Garden At Glorious Gardens we are increasingly being asked to design gardens that are wildlife friendly, especially for birds. This article aims to help you think more about how you can support birdlife.

Michael McCarthy in his book "The Moth Snowstorm", quotes the Common Bird Census which has recently found that bird life in the UK is in startlingly rapid decline. The Turtle Dove population has declined by 95%, the Grey Partridge by 91%, the Spotted Flycatcher by 89% and the Tree Sparrow by 95%.

Even though aggressive agricultural practices and the use of pesticides that have decimated insect populations are the main cause, the spread of urban living and the paving and astro-turfing of domestic dwellings is also playing its part. But there are many things you can do to nurture bird life even in the smallest of spaces.

Nesting Birds like a varied canopy where they can flit from one level to the other so having a good tree canopy, shrub level and then ground cover can give them good protection. They love diseased branches and dead trees to make nests in (it is a brave gardener who will leave a dead tree in their borders but if we see it as a five-star bird hotel we may inspire others to do the same).

Leaving hedges uncut until the nesting season is over, between March and August, is not only vital but in some cases disturbing hedges is illegal as is the destruction of any plant life if it contains an active nest.

Bird boxes are really good ways to help especially for the smaller species of birds. They need to be situated away from where cats can climb and also away from where cats can lie in wait as that will disturb the adult birds feeding their young. You can erect a bird box camera and enjoy your very own bird watch show.

On the subject of cats, the RSPB recommends Catwatcher, a little box which emits a high frequency noise only cats can hear and don’t like. They recommend persisting for a number of weeks before it starts to really work.

Food As well as natural food which we shall look at in a minute, bird tables have traditionally been the way people have supported the feeding of birds. However, cats obviously like to hover next to these bird

through the door magnets. If you are going to have a bird table, make sure it is tall enough and slippery enough to prevent cats from climbing up. Squirrel barriers can be used for cats as well to stop them climbing up. Tin cans or cones or spiky plants at the base of the bird feeders can also prevent cats from launching an attack.

Prickly bushes near the bird feeder can also be vital as the birds can use this as an airport ready to land on the bird table without cats lying in wait for them.

Bird feeders are generally safer than bird tables as they can be hung from small branches. You can get different feeders for different birds eg goldfinches enjoy niger seeds which can be too small for normal feeders.

Different types of feed can support particular birds.

The RHS’s research reveals that tits prefer insect cakes, finches like berries, wrens like animal fat mixed with grated cheese and sparrows and finches like sunflower seeds. Growing fruit and berries will especially attract thrushes and blackbirds and starlings prefer peanuts. All seem to like mealworms.

Natural planting Chose plants that will flower and seed or fruit through most of the year, allowing birds to have a constant source of food. Any plants or flowers that attract insects are brilliant as the insects will also provide a source of food for the birds.

Spring time can be covered with Wild Cherry, Sloeberry, last year’s Crab Apple fruit, Hawthorn, old Ivy

seeds and Cotoneaster berries. Summer is heralded

by Mulberries, Honeysuckle, Buddlea, Sunflowers and Teasels. Autumn packs the best punch at a time where lots of birds are wanting to get fat before they migrate. Plants like Pyracantha, Rosa Glauca, Holly, Ivy and Rowan are very generous at this time of year.

Also choose plants which are susceptible to insects, normally a phrase that makes gardeners gasp in horror, are actually fantastic for birds needing to get their daily protein.

Other things in the garden Having a lawn rather than paving can encourage birds to forage and they like the grass clippings for nest building. Uncut grass and wildflower meadows

38 Gardening are even more attractive for birds and host lots of insects as well.

In Autumn leaving piles of leaves and compost really helps birds rummage around for insects and worms before Winter sets in.

A pond, always the queen of the garden, acts as a clean fresh water source and bath as well as being host to insects.

This Autumn you can think about giving your garden a bird friendly makeover and enjoy having more of these vibrant but fragile creatures come to visit.

Where to go in October I like to recommend Sussex Prairies near Henfield at this time of year. These gardens are a spectacular display of prairie flowers and grasses difficult to grow in small gardens. They will continue to have a faded beauty right up to Xmas.

October tasks  Move plants around the garden or plant up new ones. The soil is still warm for the roots to establish but there is less chance of the plants drying out.  Divide most Perennials now including Rhubarb and balance up your garden by taking the one half to a different place.  Plant lettuce and start sowing Chinese winter greens and Spring Cabbage.  Repair your lawn, start now with the cooler weather, either using pre-grown turfs or seeding into prepared earth.  Lawn treatment can start this month with aerating the garden with a strong fork and raking out moss and thatch.  Cut back shrubs like Buddlea and Lavatera to about half their height to neaten them up and prevent strong winter winds rocking them about - the more fundamental pruning happens in Spring.

40 Property

Doors

By Chris Ennis FRICS Stable, saloon, swing, front, back, barn, fire, french, glazed, sliding, bi-fold, solid steel security………. Yes, they are all types of door! Their function is evident and that is to provide security, privacy and safety. I frequently see issues of very poor amateur installation, and inadequacy in terms of access and design.

The most common type of door in a modern property is the ubiquitous white panel unit, hardboard faced over a timber frame. The core (internal structure) will typically be formed in corrugated cardboard. These doors are lightweight, clean in appearance, and relatively cheap to buy usually about £30.00 each. There are many door designs, some more expensive units are oak or other hardwood veneered systems where the door core is formed in MDF (medium density fibreboard). Oak furniture and fitments are very fashionable at the moment, and these are very often constructed in solid foreign grown material.

Doors are installed within a door lining which is the thickness of the wall in which it sits. This is secured to the walls and wedged/screwed square within the door opening. It is to this lining that the door stops, other mouldings and door furniture are secured.

The doors should be installed within their frame to show ‘shut lines’ of about 3 mm. If the gaps around the doors are irregular in size, this may indicate either poor workmanship or movement within the wall or door frame.

One particular class of door requires special mention…… That is the fire door. The purpose of such a door is to minimize spread of fire and smoke and to give more time to exit a building. There are many regulations concerning the need for, and the location of fire doors. Suffice it to say that they should be installed as part of a whole assembly of door leaf, frame, door stops, intumescent strips, seals, hinges and door handles. Fire safety is covered in part B of the building regulations.

Whilst writing about fire safety, I feel compelled to remind every reader to install smoke detectors at both ground and upper floor levels, and to ensure that they are fully operational. I still see many unprotected premises.
