One event is recorded within the buffer zone, a coring survey undertaken to identify any sub-surface deposits that could indicate the potential for previous settlement. No listed buildings are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records earthwork and plough-levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow within the northern part of the site and in the buffer zone, though no earthwork remains are visible within the site on recent aerial mapping. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as Drained Wetland, former common land depicted as newly laid out allotments on the 1825 Parliamentary Enclosure plan. There is no legibility of the former commons, with the present boundaries largely defined by 19th century drainage layout. The character of the buffer is defined as Drained Wetland; Agglomerated fields; Modern Valley Floor Meadows; Motorway and Trunk Road Junctions; Distribution Centre; Utilities; and Other Industry. The site currently comprises a group of regular fields, mainly in arable use. These retain many of the boundaries shown on the 1854 OS map, marked by field drains. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: Josias Arlebout’s 1639 map of Hatfield Chase showed the site as part of Thorne Common, with the site forming part of North Common at the time of the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake Enclosure Award. The majority of the site’s enclosure boundaries remained extant in 1854, when several of the fields were bounded by land drains. Pearson’s Drain, in the southwest of the site, was the only such feature to be named on the 1854 Ordnance Survey map. Little change has occurred within the site since that date. The 1960s Royal Observer Corp observation post was not marked on any publicly-available maps. Within the buffer zone, the A614 was marked as the Bawtry and Selby Trust turnpike road on the 1854 OS map, while Dikesmarsh Road and Land End Road were shown along the south and east site boundaries. Hangsman Hill Ferry was also shown within the buffer zone at that date. Jubilee Bridge Farm had been constructed by 1966 but was derelict by the 21st century. The M18 had been constructed to the east of the site by 1980. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation. The potential for the survival of buried archaeology below the zone impacted by ploughing is considered to be moderate to high. The Royal Observer Corp observation post has been demolished; as this was an underground facility, sub-surface features may remain, but their extent and condition is unknown. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation is likely to be required if the site is brought forward for development. Significance: Unknown. Remains associated with the Royal Observer Corps observation post would be of Local archaeological significance. www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 3 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment Aerial Photographs & Lidar Summary: Twenty-first-century aerial photographs show the site as arable fields, with the exception of a small area of pasture at the southwest. Former watercourses are visible as infilled channels. It is not clear if these were open channels that were infilled after the area was drained during the 17th century or earlier features. There is no Lidar coverage for this site. Photograph references: Google Earth: 2002, 2005, 2008, 2015. Bing Maps: 2015. SMR Record/event Reference Name Details Site? Buffer?

The deposit survey was carried out to identify any raised areas likely to have attracted early settlement or subsistence activity. The deposits encountered were mainly inorganic sand, silt and clay. Of particular interest was that no evidence for a continuation of the nearby Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits was encountered by this survey.

One event is recorded within the buffer zone, comprising a coring survey undertaken to examine sub-surface deposits to identify any raised land that may have attracted settlement. This recorded the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no evidence for the continuation of the Thorne Moors peat and gravel spur deposits into the area. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project did not record any features within the site. Plough-levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow was recorded within the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site and much of the buffer as Industrial to Modern Drained Wetland. This character area is defined as land enclosed as part of the Parliamentary Enclosure of the area in 1825, with no legibility of former common land. The present boundaries within this character area are largely defined by the 19th-century drainage layout. To the north and east of the site the landscape character within the buffer comprises 20th-century commercial core-suburban and residential development, with no legibility of former landscapes. The site is currently part of a larger field and has been in agricultural use since at least 1825. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: The site was shown as fields on the 1825 Thorne, Hatfield and Fishlake enclosure map. The enclosure boundaries remained extant at the time of the 1854 OS map and were marked as drains on the 1892 map. No changes had occurred within the site by 1932. The 19th-century field boundaries had been removed by 1984, although a drain continued to be marked at that date. Within the buffer zone, Bloom Hill Road was extant by 1825. The Doncaster to Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway had been constructed along the western site boundary by 1892. A billiards hall had been constructed in the eastern part of the buffer zone by that date. The Moorends Comrades Club and Institute had been built in this part of the buffer zone by 1962, with housing by 1980. Survival: The site has been drained and cultivated since at least the mid-19th century, which may have impacted on the preservation of below-ground remains through truncation and desiccation.

    Railways List

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

But by the same token, these are exciting times for us. No-one has any doubt that in 2029 the Church of England in South Yorkshire and the East Riding will look very different from the way it is now — but equally no- one is yet very clear about the shape it will take. Our plan is an ambitious one and we are hungry for change. We are asking tough questions. Will the whole people of God be mobilised for the whole mission of God? What will morale be like, among key lay and ordained leaders? Will attendance figures be in decline or growing? Will there be more stipendiary incumbents or fewer? Will there be more congregations or fewer? Will we raise up a dynamic community of ‘Lights for Christ’? Will we grow a praying community of 2025 by 2025? These questions were already pressing ones for us before the present pandemic: they will surely be even more urgent for us now.

The five proposed extensions fall within the parishes of Finningley, South Yorkshire (phases 26, 27, 30 & part of 29) and Misson, Nottinghamshire (Phase 25 & most of 29). Phase 28 to be crossed by the haulage route to the plant site (and the subject of previous evaluation), also lies in Finningley parish, South Yorkshire. One designated heritage asset listed on the South Yorkshire SMR (SMR01832) comprising three flints and one heritage asset listed on the NMR (320789) comprising thirty flints lie within phase 26 of the proposed extension. No heritage assets listed on the Nottinghamshire HER are present within the proposed extension phases. Within the wider study area of the existing quarry and adjacent areas a number of heritage assets or themes were assessed as holding significant archaeological potential, necessitating further consideration.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.
