I would think that any construction or excavation that produced a solid landing place as opposed to a muddy or shifting landing place might be called a hard. The people who named them probably weren’t as interested in data standards as we are!

At Southend the tide goes out a very long way and a series of wooden tracks called hards were constructed across the mud flats which went out to a sand bank so the sea could be reached. They are marked as 'hard' on the OS map. I was told boats used to moor off these and horses and carts would ferry passengers and goods out to the boats and back, whether this is correct or when exactly they were constructed I don't know. Today they are used for swimming at low tide. Ken Crowe might be able to tell us what the HER indexes them as and whether my folk tale about their original purpose is correct.

I know of one at Pennar, Pembroke Dock in West Wales where it has both in combination and was used as a 'hard' for a rowed ferry boat during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

At the moment the scope note for ‘slipway’ reads “A structure inclined towards the water on which a ship may be built or lowered into the water.” Whilst that for ‘hard’ is “A firm beach or foreshore used for landing and loading of ships and other vessels. In more recent times hards have been reinforced with concrete.” Now I do have some very good reinforced concrete slipways associated with a Second World war seaplane base that are not an issue. I also have a number of sites recently recorded in a coastal survey of places where a channel has been made by removing rocks on a foreshore, or cutting down bedrock ridges in a similar fashion, to allow boats to be drawn up out of the water without tearing out their hull. They are clearly not the same as a boat noost/noust (Scottish thesaurus term - I must admit I don’t know if you have them in England or Wales). Does anyone know if these features have a discrete term, and if so what is it, or should I use one of the above?

The bits of PDFs that can be compressed more are really only included images so it depends how much pixilation and jpeg artefacts you can put up with. The alternative is to use something like DropBox to move large files about.

My colleagues receive some very large PDF files and often need to send them on, but the size of the emails means each plan has to be sent individually. Our IT department have told us that as PDFs are already compressed there is nothing they know of that can compress it further. I know some PDF software will let you optimise the file size, but to be honest we’re just not that clued up with PDFs. Any help on or off-list appreciated.
