  • Documentary Records of Floods in the Vale of Pickering
    Documentary records of floods in the Vale of Pickering These records are taken from the British Hydrological Society Chronology of Hydrological Events. As they are documentary records, their content is partly a function of the recording of events coupled to the extent to which documents have been found. However, they show a notable phenomenon, often found in other flood records, of a flood rich period in the late-nineteenth century followed by a flood poor period in the early 20 th century. There then follows the textual descriptions that accompanies each flood. Figure 1. Dates of documented flood records before 1950. Note that these are documented which means that they are not equivalent to the continual record of a water level recorder and reflect time-varying trends in the extent to which documents were recorded. 1750 1770 1790 1810 1830 1850 1870 1890 1910 1930 1950 " A sudden inundation of the river Rye happened at Helmsley in Yorkshire, such as had never been known by the oldest people in those parts, probably occasioned by the late heavy rains.Two houses were entirely washed away , the one inhabited by James Holdforth, he and his whole family drowned, except his wife, who being sick in her bed, was carried down the stream half a mile, and at last washed off into a field, where she was found the next morning very little hurt.

  • 1 Diamicton from the Vale of Pickering and Tabular Hills, North
    Diamicton from the Vale of Pickering and Tabular Hills, north-east Yorkshire: evidence for a Middle Pleistocene (MIS8) glaciation? John H. Powell, Jonathan R. Ford and James B. Riding 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, United Kingdom *Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] (J.H. Powell) ABSTRACT Diamicton deposits (up to 6.90 m thick) in the Vale of Pickering and the Tabular Hills (North York Moors) have been confirmed by cored boreholes. The diamicton is interpreted as glacial till with a matrix consisting predominantly of grey-brown, yellow-brown and dark grey, stiff to very stiff clay and sandy clay with occasional thin beds of laminated sand and clay. Sub-rounded to sub-angular erratic clasts were sourced predominantly from local Upper Jurassic Corallian Group bedrock exposed in the southern part of the North York Moors. Clasts include well-rounded, pebbles of Jurassic sandstone, mudstone and sparse Jurassic coal derived from outcrops on the North York Moors. Fragments of underlying Upper Jurassic mudstone bedrock form the predominant clasts in the lower part of the till. The paucity of exotic clasts and a local derivation suggests a relatively small glacier - perhaps a temperate-plateau ice-field, was established on the Tabular Hills. The glacier subsequently advanced southwards to the Vale of Pickering depositing locally derived subglacial traction till at the base, passing up to lodgement till. Local preservation of the degraded till outcrops in the Vale of Pickering, the overconsolidated nature of the clay till matrix, striated pebbles and the presence of sub-rounded pebbles suggests deposition during a glacial cold stage post-MIS 12 (Anglian) and pre-MIS 2 (Devensian).

  • Archaeological Excavations in Sherburn, Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire
    Archaeological Excavations in Sherburn, Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire. September 2011 The village of Sherburn, situated on the southern side of the eastern end of the Vale of Pickering and overlooked by the Yorkshire Wolds to the south, is the largest of the villages that occupy the sandy margin between the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds and the former wetlands that characterise the eastern end of the Vale. A royal vill with two churches, identified in Domesday, the village sits astride the Wykeham-Sherburn moraine which survives as a slight ridge projecting into the former wetlands which in antiquity served as a route across the Vale. The surviving church, which was almost completely rebuilt between 1909 and 1912, incorporates a number of fragments of Late Saxon/Viking Age sculptural stone in the present fabric. The church sits in a dominant position at the northern end of the present village. Archaeological research by the Landscape Research Centre over the last three decades has included extensive air-photographic survey and, more recently, large scale geophysical survey around the present village. The geophysical survey in particular reveals that Sherburn has a settlement history that extends back into later prehistory, and that during the Anglo- Saxon period the settlement extended over more than 25ha, larger than the excavated village at West Heslerton, but with a considerably larger number and greater density of Grubenhäuser, the distinctive cavity floor buildings that characterise settlements of the Early and Middle Anglo-Saxon periods. Two discoveries, one made through regular aerial survey over the last 30 years and another made during the mid 19th century, are the subject of a small research programme designed to try and understand Sherburn’s role during the Anglo-Saxon period.

Late Glacial Environments within the Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire, UK Laura Eddey (1), Mark Bateman (1), Stephen Livingstone (1), and Jonathan Lee (2) (1) Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK, S10 2TN , (2) British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG During the Late Devensian, the Vale of Pickering in North Yorkshire, UK is thought to have been the site of a large proglacial lake dammed by the North Sea Ice Lobe of the British and Irish Ice sheet (BIIS) to the east and the Vale of York Lobe to the west. Lake levels are reported to have reached between 70 and 30 m O.D. (Kendall, 1902; Edwards, 1978; Foster, 1985; Evans et al., 2017) based on field evidence. But, controversy remained as to what lake levels were attained and when, and how lake levels were affected by the surrounding North Sea and Vale of York Ice. Here, we present flood fills from high-resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) adjusted for isostatic de- pression; glacial geomorphological mapping, sedimentary analysis and 21 new optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates. We show that there are multiple iterations of Lake Pickering, with the higher lake level (70 m O.D.) reported by Kendall (1902) existing prior to (>30 ka) the LGM. Fluctuations in lake levels were controlled by the dynamics of both the North Sea Lobe and the Vale of York Lobe as well as the presence of high-stage Glacial Lake Humber (Bateman et al., 2017).

The steep escarpment of the Yorkshire Wolds lies a few hundred metres to the south. The site covers an area of approximately 7 ha. Survey work was carried out in January 1991 when soils were examined by hand auger borings to a depth of 1 metre at 100 metre intervals predetermined by the National Grid. A soil inspection pit was also dug to provide additional information on soil structure and to provide samples for laboratory analysis. All assessments of land quality were made using the methods described in "Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales: Revised Guidelines and criteria for Grading the quality of Agricultural Land" (MAFF 1988). 1.2 LAND USE Except for a small patch of rough grass the whole site is under winter cereals. 1.3 CLIMATE AND RELIEF Mean Annual Rainfall (AAR) is approximately 711 mm.
