  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

Structures indicate the region was inhabited Fduring the Stone Age and artefacts from the Bronze and Iron Ages have also been found. The Romans left a more obvious mark in Hadrian’s Wall but it was Anglian invaders that led to the creation of Northumbria. The kingdoms of Bernica and Deira became one under Ӕthelfrith and, when Athelstan was crowned king, Northumbria became part of England. The Normans also made their presence felt, as they rebuilt many of the monasteries, founded abbeys and added castles (mainly defensive structures against the Scots) and it’s these that make the county so interesting. When the countries united under James VI, many of the castles became less important and their decline was inevitable. It’s these ruins that bring the countryside alive. The county also played its part in the Industrial Revolution producing the coal that helped power the growth of the British Empire around the world.

  • Bamburgh Castle Project Design Excavation Season 2018
    Bamburgh Castle Project Design Excavation Season 2018 Graeme Young Version: June 2018 Bamburgh Castle Project Design 2018 INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This project design states the background to the Bamburgh Castle site and the archaeological investigations undertaken to the present. The document seeks to outline the aims and objectives for the summer excavation 2018. 1.1.2 The Bamburgh Research Project (BRP) is a social enterprise, not for profit archaeological research project, based on Bamburgh, Northumberland. The primary aim of the project, is to undertake inclusive archaeological research with a strong community element. The project design was written with reference to the English Heritage Archaeology Division Research Agenda (EH 1997), but also takes into consideration the need to complete the unfinished excavation programme started in 1959 by Brian Hope-Taylor. The principal aims are: To advance our understanding of the archaeology and history of Bamburgh, Northumberland and its place in the regional, national and international framework To integrate Bamburgh into a regional and national research framework, by integrating the research undertaken by the BRP with that of other projects, groups and organisations To preserve and incorporate earlier paper and finds archives, some of which are partial and/or damaged, with those of the BRP’s To engage with the public in order to inform and educate a broad audience about the archaeology of Bamburgh and archaeology as a discipline To aid in the national drive to build a professional infrastructure and increase and enhance archaeological skills. To pass these skills on to the next generation of archaeologists Bamburgh Research Project 2 Bamburgh Castle Project Design 2018 1.2 Location of the project area 1.2.1 Bamburgh Castle stands on a dolerite outcrop, immediately adjacent to the North Sea [NU 183352] and 200m north east of the village of Bamburgh, [NU180349], which is centred around a triangular village green.

    EDITORIAL Owing to circumstances beyond our control we have had to change the venue for our main meetings, previously held at the Swallow Hotel, Gateshead. The September and October meetings will be held at the Durant Hall, Ellison Place, Newcastle. This is next to MEA House, and is within easy walking distance from Monument Metro Station. It is hoped that those members north of the Tyne who found travelling to the Swallow Hotel difficult will find this venue more convenient, and that those from the south side will not find it too inaccessible. The Durant Hall has only been booked for two meetings as a temporary measure while a sub- committee considers other possibilities. Finding a venue that will suit everyone is unfortunately not possible - Northumberland and Durham comprises a large area, and members who live on one side of the Tyne tend to regard the other side as foreign territory; besides which there are different ideas about what constitutes a good meeting place. On balance Newcastle appears to be the most appropriate location, being reasonably well served by transport from all directions, but finding a suitable room at a reasonable cost is proving difficult. A decision should be announced in the next Journal. There will be no meeting in November, as the Annual Conference takes place at Otterburn from 28 to 30 October and the Society will also be participating in a Family and Local History Day-"It's Your Past", to be held at the Civic Centre, Newcastle, on 12 November 1988. This is being arranged by the Durham County Records Office and the Tyne and Wear Archives Services.
