This was followed in 1939 by a study of Durham based on parish statistics by A.S.Gaught(l)who concluded that the county was divided into three agricultural regions, pastoral in the west, intermediate in the centre, and arable-dairying in the east. In 194-° "the Summary Report of the National ^arm survey classified the area from the Hartlepools southwards down the Vale of York as one of "general mixed farming" since no single type of farming such as dairying, arable, or stock-fattening was predominant, unfortunately the National Farm Survey did not complete its mapping of the farm units. The unpublished maps ,hich were completed are now in the archives of the regional branch of the •inistry of Agriculture and are protected by the Official Secrets Act. • Dudley Stamp has stated (2)that the relationship between the area of the farm unit and the farm's economic viability is fundamental in any study of our agriculture, and he stresses the importance of mapping farm units as they are today. The preparation of such a map on the scale of one inch to one mile necessitated visits to over 400 farms and over 70 smallholdings, which were first mapped on the scale of six inches to one mile and subsequently reduced, ^arm classification has been based on the criteria adopted by the Department of Agricultural Economics of Newcastle University. Visits to the farms have revealed that even within the same type of farming there are considerab i.e differences of method, especially in the fattening of cattle. (1) A.o.Gaught. "Some Geographical Aspects of the Agriculture of Jounty Durham." Unpublished Ph. D. Thesis, London University, 1939. (2) L. Dudley Stamp. "Geographical Agenda: A Review of Some Tasks Awaiting Geographical Attention." Trans. Inst. Brit. Geographers, 1957. ii A survey of the climate of the Hartlepools region does much to explain the mixed character of the farming. In some years livestock prove the sheet anchor of the farm economy when poor growing weather opoils the crops. The reliability for agricultural studies of temperature data collected at urban recording stations is rather doubtful, and the writer's series of experiments in and around the Hartlepools shows that a well-marked "heat island" exists over the built-up area. Short-term screen records and temperature traverses were used to establish the relationship between the temperatures of the East Durham Flateau and of the Tees lowland. Soils are another important aspect of the agricultural geography. The cover of glacial drift gives rise mainly to heavy but fertile clay soils but fluvio-glacial sands and gravels occur in patches and ridges, and loams are well distributed. Few farms, however, possess only one type of soil, and the variation, even in individual fields, makes mapping a complex and slow task. An initial reconnaissance of the soils of the whole county was made in the late 194.Cs by 3. M.Doug all on the scale of one inch to one mile. This provides a good base-map for agricultural studies like the present one but detailed field-work has shown its limitations. Come interesting correlations have been found between soil type3 on the one hand and land use and farm types on the other. By means of the statistics collected by the Board(later the ninistry) of Agriculture the chief economic trends in agriculture over the last 100 years can be followed. An attempt has been made to show the contrast between areas with a favourable physical bacKpround and those more poorly endowed in the ways in which they reacted to the changing economic circumstances. Access to farms has been improved continuously, and first the railways and then motor vehicles and roads have wrought changes in agricultural production especially in the production of milk and eggs. Nevertheless there remain farms in the .iartlepools region which suffer in various ways from their remoteness. The rapid growth of the dartlepools, of Stockton, iiddlesbrough, and of the large mining villages on the southern edge of the Durham coalfield since 1850 has had important repercussions on the farming of the surrounding areas. I-iot least is the loss of agricultural land to housing, industry, and urban amenities. Only two miles of open fields separated the Hartlepools and Dillingham in 1963; there were seven miles of countryside between them in 192C, including some of the best soils in the county. >,ince the 194-7 and 1957 Agriculture Acts the central government has taken into its hands a greater degree of control over farming, by means of financial incentives for certain approved undertakings. Fertilizers, field drains, building and roads, for example, are now partly financed by the Exchequer, while tax allowances for wear and tear, and for capital investment, encourage farm mechanization. Over-production is checked and under-production is levelled up by the Annual Price Reviews which adjust subsidies, and marketing Boards for various commodities alao act as government agencies, wost farmers are progressive enough to allow themselves to be guided by these arrangements, and the efficiency of the system is indicated by an increase in net output -"rom the farms of about 8";' between 1933 and 1963 • The technological revolution through which agriculture is now passing, with its new applications of chemistry, biology, and engineering, will doubtless continue to alter radically the methods and products of the farms in the lartlepools region. It may even create the need for specialization on these farms whose traditional cropping and stock-raising dichotomy has proved its iv resilience for centuries. It is hoped that in a period of rapid change the present study will at least serve as a snapshot picture of the early 196C's which the future generations of geographers and others will study as part of a series of historical documents.

  • Minerals and Waste Policies and Sites DPD Policy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Policies & Sites DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. The Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. This Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with that Core Strategy, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part of Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.

Canon Janet Burbury, The Vicarage , Hart, Hartlepool, TS27 3AP [email protected] Tel 01429 262340 Mob 07958 131271 Dear friends, November is upon us with its distinct quality of sunlight, much of which at this time the year can seem melancholy, as it beckons in a reminder of what is to come with darker nights and cooler days. November also offers us the season to remember Saints and Souls – oh and that chap Guy Fawkes too! The act of Remembrance is one gift that qualifies us as human. It is a transporting act; one that makes past events and people come alive in our minds and hearts to enrich our lives and time here on earth. The act of Re- membrance gives us connective tissue. It is clear that Jesus understood this when he asked us to remember Him when we share bread and wine as ordinary things signifying his extraordi- nary presence in us today. So many communities are busy preparing to remember our service men and women who died in service. Information will be shared about them in new ways with added poignancy because of the centenary of WW1. So, few now have first-hand experience of that dreadful war and yet we all en- joy the legacy of freedom those brave men and women left to us today. In a small by meaningful way as we learn more about those brave servicemen we will I am sure find some connection with them which is the true power of remembrance.

Introduction Welcome to Durham’s Heritage Coastal Footpath, an 11 mile walking route following the England Coast Path National Trail. Discover and explore spectacular grasslands, superb coastal denes and uncover the rich heritage that has shaped this coastline into a unique and fascinating place to be. Why is it so special? Durham’s Coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of Magnesian Limestone Coastal Grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. The Northern Brown Argus butterfly can be found amongst these grasslands in the summer months and flowers such as orchids, Bloody Cranesbill, Thrift, Birds’ Eye Primrose and Common Rock Rose are a characteristic sight on the grassy cliff tops. The sound of Skylarks and Lapwings in the summer are a musical treat not to be missed. The coastal denes created at the end of the last ice age support some of the most natural woodland in North East England and provide a valuable habitat for mammals such as deer, foxes, badgers and bats.

    at Dalton Piercy, Elwick and Hart & May 2020 Produced for the Villagers by Hart and Elwick Churches Revd. Janet Burbury, The Vicarage, Hart, Hartlepool. TS27 3AP [email protected] Tel. 01429 262340 Mob 07958 131271 Dear friends, I truly wish I could wave a magic wand and comfort you all but this climate of fear and isolation is such a massive change to us all, I doubt any of us has yet to truly feel it’s implications. Be assured my prayers and pastoral support is with you. Don’t think twice before picking up the phone to contact me for a chat, to help in a practical way. I will do what I can to help. We haven’t had a ‘dispersed’ church since the days when Jesus himself walked this earth. Soon after his life on earth church buildings to gather for worship and pastoral support were built by the disciples copying the pattern of the Jewish syna- gogues of the day. Today as a dispersed church we are figuring out how to be church. If this restriction to isolate goes on, what will become of church buildings when they can’t afford their statutory upkeep including insurance, parish share and all? How will this virus refocus our society? Will the threat of this virus weaken or strengthen the Christian church? Will we become more or less community minded? As we see the empty shelves in our shops from panic buying we are certainly chal- lenged to pray more earnestly, “Give us today our daily bread”. This phrase re- minds us to ask for what we need and no more.

  • New Waste Management Capacity Permitted in the North East Since the Urban Mines Baseline
    New Waste Management Capacity permitted in the North East since the Urban Mines Baseline Background In accordance with the Duty to Cooperate, and as part of work on our joint evidence base, the Waste Planning Authorities (WPAs) in the North East of England1 commissioned a study ‘Model of Waste Arisings and Waste Management Capacity for the North East of England Waste Planning Authorities’ (Urban Mines, July 2012) to provide forecasts of waste arisings for commercial and industrial waste and hazardous waste to 2030 using the data from the North East of England Commercial and Industrial Waste Survey 2010 and the most up-to-date hazardous waste arisings information. The Urban Mines study contains: detailed forecast arisings; capacity data; analysis and conclusions on commercial and industrial waste; analysis and conclusions on hazardous waste; details on municipal waste as so many key facilities in the North East process waste from both municipal and commercial and industrial sources; commentary on arisings of agricultural, construction and demolition and Low Level Radioactive wastes. The study carried out a capacity gap analysis by comparing forecast arisings with data on available and future capacity. This was done on a regional and sub-regional (WPA) basis. By aggregating arisings estimates for all the WPAs in North East England, the report found that total arisings amount to some 3.6 million tonnes per year. These comprise 1.48 million tonnes from municipal sources (2011 estimates) and 2.15 million from commercial and industrial sources (2011 estimates). Applying the growth methodologies explained in the report, it was estimated that these total waste arisings for North East England are anticipated to remain fairly constant over the forecast period to 2030.
