	Popular victory is a splendid advertisement for the St Leger - Telegraph
		Of course, the proud-necked Bollin Eric may not, perhaps, in strict mathematical merit, match up to the great St Leger winners of the past such as Nijinsky or Reference Point.
		After winning the last two of his four races as a two-year-old, Bollin Eric came back to be third at Newmarket in April, second both at York and Royal Ascot, an unlucky third at Haydock and then a closing third in York's Voltigeur Stakes.
		Bollin Eric may lift his knee but the white flag never goes near his masthead.

	APEM \| project
		DESCRIPTION: The River Bollin is potentially the most important part of the Mersey catchment, for the re-establishment of migratory salmonids (salmon and sea trout) in addition to other migratory species such as eels and lampreys (sea, river and brook).
		Prior to this project little was known about habitat quality within the Bollin with respect to the salmon, or indeed other migratory species, although it was acknowledged that there were many formidable obstacles to upstream migration.
		River widths were also measured in the field whenever a 100m grid line (horizontal or vertical) was crossed and compared to bank widths as defined in the geo-referenced digitised maps.

		North of Wythenshawe and the River Mersey are the older south Manchester suburbs of Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington and Fallowfield.
		Bordering on the City of Manchester to the south west is the Borough of Trafford, uniting the industrial inner-city districts of Stretford and Old Trafford with the affluent residential suburbs of Hale and Bowdon.
		Oldham is the next in line stretching from Failsworth in the south west on the A62 from Manchester, to the moors including the infamous Saddleworth Moor, bordering on Yorkshire to the north east - in fact Delph and Denshaw used to belong to Yorkshire, see the 1840 map.

		Between this point and a terminal interchange at the junction with the A560, an intermediate interchange was to be built for a dual two-lane carriageway motorway link, directly serving Manchester Airport.
		A total of 24 structures was required spanning railways, canals, the River Bollin and various side roads.
		From the River Bollin, through Wythenshawe, Keuper Marl is close to the surface and the designed profile required a long cutting in this area.

	Modelling Bed Topography
		Rivers are important, dynamic, components of the landscape.
		The availability of suitable modelling tools to predict river adjustments to change in driving variables is, therefore, a pre-requisite for the rational design of countermeasures, and promotion of sustainable river management.
		In meandering rivers, channel curvature produces secondary currents and a transverse sloping channel bed, with increasing depth towards the outer bank, so that the outer bank is often undermined and eroded.

		Bollin Eric's triumph was worthy repayment for the horse's owners, Sir Neil and Lady Westbrook, who have had horses in training with the Easterby family for 40 years, spanning three generations, starting with Tim's great uncle Walter, then his father, Peter, who was watching at home on television yesterday.
		Eric's female bloodline, which flows as strongly as the River Bollin runs through the Westbrook's Cheshire property, began to kick in.

		Up stream from the confrontation lay ‘River Rats’ camp, as yet untouched by the eviction process and in typically youthful and vibrant mood, yips, yells and general festivity met the news of the arrival of the ‘Sea Sabs’, albeit they were some 60-70 miles away from the sea.
		As the River ran through the entire site, the Sea Sabs claimed that they should be left to float up and down it, unimpeded, giving whatever support they felt able to those ensconced in tree houses and tunnels.
		Trudging up the river in their garish costumes, dragging the bright yellow dinghies which now contained ‘humanitarian aid’, and followed on the banks by about twenty locals, came the Sea Sabs, in a scene reminiscent of an Ealing comedy, but on water, a face off began.

	APEM \| habitat evaluation and mapping
		We also have extensive experience of conventional habitat mapping techniques including River Habitat Survey (RHS) and its predecessor River Corridor Survey (RCS), which were both developed by the Environment Agency for specific purposes.
		This approach was developed for the Environment Agency on the River Bollin, part of the Mersey catchment, to evaluate the required environmental/habitat improvements needed to allow development of a self-sustaining salmon population.
		The technique is also used to assess changes in the characteristics of a site over a number of years and determine the effects of events such as changes in flow regime or drought.

		Quarry Bank Mill was built by Samuel Greg in 1784 as a water powered cotton spinning mill, because it was here that the River Bollin afforded sufficient power to operate newly invented spinning machinery.
		The land he wanted was ten miles south of Manchester where the river Bollin cut through a sandstone valley north of Wilmslow.
		By 1822 Samuel Greg had built, between the existing Mill and the river Bollin, a new shed for cleaning the raw cotton, a room for picking and sorting the cotton and a building for storing raw cotton with a packing room above it.
