0.2 Central Themes of the Quay Collective Quay Collective belongs to everyone yet is owned by no one, it has no home and exists in no permanent location. This distinct lack of ownership enables a diverse involvement across a variation of community groups where the Collective acts as a catalyst for furthering ideas and discussions beyond our initial thoughts. 1901

WAYFINDING AND ACCESS

Community Building a community is at the core of the 1901

project and aims to build connections between

1901

previously disassociated people and places.

EST.

Wellbeing Encouraging use of the outdoors helps to improve mood, self-esteem and physical fitness whilst activating the canal.

Ecology Diverse species of animals, insects and plants exist along the canal and awareness and respect of this

1901

should be encouraged.

Heritage The area has a rich and diverse history and through 1901

raising awareness of this, connections between

1901

people and place can be enhanced.

EST.

Art There is an existing culture for art along the canal, which should be nurtured and promoted.

1.4 A Community Engagement Tool

On Sunday 3rd November, the Quay Collective team held an event at Tinsley Marina and later disassembled and transferred it to Victoria Quays; inviting the local community to discover the Mobile Community Hub and enabling the opportunity to voice what they think the canal needs and how to make improvements. During this event we presented from the grassroot, facilitating discussions regarding the community boat, the woodland and fairy trail and finally, the painted playground. Drawing and craft activities, such as creating woodland fairies and designing canal boats were available for everyone who joined us.

2.1 Existing Boat Information

The Canal and River Trust boat is a narrowboat which is 80 years old and docked in Tinsley Marina, Sheffield. Currently, the Canal and River Trust are at risk of losing the boat as it will cost a lot to fix. Previously, the boat was used three times a week Human

but the Trust would love to use it on a daily basis for various activities. The boat is currently used for collecting rubbish, increasing biodiversity and transporting volunteers and tools to help improve the canal. The Naburn is therefore essential for all

Social

activities that take place on the canal. The goal is to make the boat more sustainable through changing the engine to be more environmentally friendly. It should ideally accommodate 8-10 people at once and provide a flexible space for the diverse range of activities taking place.

“We want to implement an engagement programme with the local communities to put the canal back on the map, connecting it with the city again, and removing the stigma of danger attached to the canal as a whole”

“We hope to appeal to a wider, younger demographic by upgrading the infrastructure of the canal, installing a community centre attracting new businesses like cafes and resturant”

“We hope to apply for the Green Flag Award in 2021 after changes are made”

2.5 Enhancing the Environment Implementing an electric engine on the workboat could offer a vast number of environmental benefits, as well as cheaper running costs and a silent engine. The running of the workboat also has a great impact on the wider environment, such as enabling volunteers to reach the offside part of the canal to enhance the biodiversity and wildlife. The workboat can also transport volunteers and goods to various parts of the canal. Kitchen and bathroom facilities would see an increase of volunteers. It is important to understand that all jobs undertaken along the canal require the Canal and River Trust workboat.

- Fully charged boat will provide 6-8h of power

- Battery charged by generator, shore power or solar panels

- Excess power from diesel motor picked up by electric motor and

- This is typically sufficient for a day

- Very simple system - tailored to suit individual needs

tops up the battery bank

- Long journeys = large generator

- Batteries also charged via solar panels or shore power

- Short journeys = solar panels and small generator backup

- Requires more maintenance but provides more power

- Low cost and more environmentally friendly Electricity Use

Potential Charging Point at Tinsley Marina

- Summer (Normal Use) Total Power Consumption = 30.3 kWh - Summer (Heavy Use) Total Power Consumption = 49.5 kWh - Winter – Total Power Consumption = 50.2 kWh

Amsterdam - 3 months - strip diesel engine + install electric engine and batteries - 23m = 66 batteries = £145,000 to £220,000

- Canal and River Trust would love for it to be used everyday - Currently used three times a week at most (with community events) - Tinsley to Victoria Quays = 1h running time - 3h running time at most a day

- Recharged fully in 10h - Charge lasts two days Live Projects | SSOA | 2019 | Victoria Quays

3.1 Drawing on Surrounding Context

The location of Victoria Quays gives it multiple points of access from both the city centre and multiple transport facilities such as the train station and bus interchange. Looking at the surrounding context and analysing land use inspired a site-based intervention Human

that draws on the already rich urban context and attracts people from the surrounding areas to Victoria Quays. What are the main challenges of connecting people in this area?

Social

Local

“The lack of waterfront activity and cafes really lets the area down for me and many people I talk to don’t even know that the Quay exists”

“The amount of drug use in the area really dampens the appeal of the Quays and adds to an atmosphere of danger felt through out the entire canal”

DRUG USERS

“There’s no clear point of access and almost no consideration for accessibility for cyclists”

LACK OF ACTIVITY

ACCESS

What would help people better connect in the area? Urban

4 “Seeing a playground built in the area would make the Quays a much more family friendly place, and a thrill for the kids to play around on.”

CHILDREN 44

“Having more water-based activities like canoeing and rowing would be a game changer in the area”

“More bars and restaurants too!”

3.2 Underutilised space at Victoria Quays

An area of underutilised patio space above the arches provides the ideal canvas for bringing the core themes of the Quay Collective onto site at Victoria Quays in a tangible format. Problems with vandalism and misuse of the area mean that any physical built form would Human

be inappropriate. In response to this the concept of a

‘painted playground’ was considered and developed

“We hope to apply for the Green Flag Award in 2021 after changes are made”

“Upgrading the towpath is the first thing we need to do, but a local company Veolia is prepared to put forward £75,000 to fund a future scheme that will be environmentally beneficial to the entire area”

5.1 As Found Conditions...

The Quay Collective envision a transform the woodland area near Tinsley Marina into a nature trail. The vision is that it would encourage greater public engagement and attract a younger, much sought after demographic to take an interest in wildlife and their local environment. In response to this idea, we conducted an indicative tree survey, which was discussed with the community and taken further.

5.2 Educational Institutions Map

The map shows all schools within a 15 minute drive of the canal. This demonstrates that there will be plenty of interest in the proposed plan to create an adventure trail, as the key demographic is amassed around the canal and woodland area.

area, bringing families and potential school groups to the canal. This would transform this overlooked forest into a new destination for health and well-being, and a landmark site along the canal, offering a momentary escape from reality and adventure into the mystical.

Orchard PINK DOOR Orchard is the most beautiful fairy who dances and sings in the woods. She loves flowers and nature and spends most of her time outside, hiding behind the trees.

Sprite BLUE DOOR Sprite is a water nymph who is only outside when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raining. She loves being near the water. Sprite is a joyous fairy who can only be seen by children.

Snowdrop ORANGE DOOR Snowdrop is a small and very shy fairy who is very rarely seen. He lives high up in the tree to keep away from humans.

Willow GREEN DOOR Willow is a kind and helpful fairy who has a magical aanity with nature. She looks after the woodland by planting flowers and removing weeds. Willow is a very shy fairy who is only seen when she is at work, early in the morning.

Pixie PURPLE DOOR Pixie is the most mischievous fairy so do not get too close to her door. She has been known to lure people away from the path so they get lost in the woods. She is by far the smallest fairy and so is very diicult to see.

Fairy Door Concept

Crimson RED DOOR Crimson is a devilish fairy. He has never been seen but can often be heard laughing amongst the trees. There is very little known about him.

5.4 Dipping Platform Design At the northern entrance to the woodland trail, a timber dipping platform is proposed for children to interact with nature. It should not obstruct vessels on the waterway nor cyclists or pedestrians on the towpath. A location has been selected next to or above the existing bridge foundations that sit at the edge of the canal near Tinsley. Aims: Allow and encourage children of all ages to safely engage with the water and create an outdoor usable space for education.

CHEAPER PREBUILT OPTIONS

BESPOKE DESIGN With more funding, a larger bespoke platform could sit over the existing bridge remains and allow more space with a central dipping hole, which reaches into the shallow waters at the edge of the canal Entrance to Fairy Trail woodland walk Proposed dipping platform sitting on existing bridge structure

Sewing Foxgloves As a biennial, Digitalis purpurea ‘Sutton’s Apricot’ flowers just once every two years and so in order to have annual May flowers, the original planting plan should be followed up by an additional sowing. The two sets of plants will then flower on an alternating rota. Frequency: Sow just once in July, Year 1 so that they flower in May, Year 2.

Foxglove sewing, potting and flowering

Notes: Sow quickly into uncrowded areas from a height, as the seeds are very small and this will help them to scatter broadly. They should germinate within 2 weeks. This is a relatively low-skill task but should be performed or supervised by the head gardener. Signpost the area as out of bounds for three months to prevent them being trampled and be vigilant with watering.

COPPICING Task: Cutting hazel back to a stump to promote the growth of new shoots and to collect stems for woodland products Coppicing Process such as woodcraft, fencing and allotment resources. Maintaining coppices can also involve community engagement and adds a new ecological layer to the woodland. Frequency: Coppice every 5 years in February or March for a well-managed look. Notes: This is a low skilled task which can be completed by volunteers under supervision. Hazel trees should be cut as low as possible using a saw. There are plenty of online resources to help with this process. Different areas of hazel could be coppiced on a rotation to provide an annual crop of wood.

MAINTAINING MIX RATIO Task: Up keeping diversity of planting within the woodland. In particular, the focus is to prevent either the bluebells Bluebell to Wild Garlic Ratio (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) or wild garlic (Allium ursinum) from dominating the planting area. If one species is dominating, then some plants should be removed, contributing to a diverse and colourful landscape. Frequency: After 3 years, perform annual checks in March or April, as soon as the bluebells (Hyacinthoides) become easily distinguishable from the diminishing snowdrops (Galanthus). Notes: Removed plants can be relocated to other shady areas of the woodland to extend the planting beyond the original plan. This is a relatively low-skill task which could involve volunteers, provided they are comfortable identifying the species and are shown how to divide and relocate plants.

5.9 Waterfront Regeneration

A potential link from the Olympic Legacy Park to the canal has been considered to encompass the festival of ideas the Quay Collective has gathered. The creation of this outdoor space also presents opportunities for event organisation such as an outdoor cinemas, leisure activities and community markets. This is a vision for the potential success and outcome of sharing collective ideas with everyone.
