This study focuses on impacts rather than mitigation which is the subject of a separate scoping study (Yorkshire Forward, forthcoming). It is a first step and may lead to further industry or community led studies of specific impacts and adaptation requirements. This report is part of a series of sub-UK scoping studies completed with the support of the UK Climate Impacts Programme. This study aims to identify the main impacts of climate change, stakeholder perceptions and responses and gaps and uncertainties in our understanding of climate impacts. It covers the Yorkshire and Humber Region that includes the cities of Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, Bradford and York; the towns of Huddersfield, Wakefield and Grimsby and Scarborough; the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks and the Humber Estuary. Collectively, the Regional Development Agency, local authorities and their partners recognise that climate change is an important consideration for future development: “Climate change is another major challenge facing the region. The consequences seem to be beginning to manifest themselves through more frequent extreme weather events, sea level rise and increasing average temperatures. The region needs to plan for these consequences” (Regional Sustainable Development Framework – RSDF, 2001: p.19) In order to provide a framework for dealing with this uncertainty the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) has recently provided a new set of future climate scenarios1 that describe the rates of warming in response to different levels of emissions, namely Low Emissions, Medium-Low Emissions, Medium-High Emissions and High Emissions. These scenarios update and improve upon an earlier set of UKCIP scenarios released in 1998. The new climate scenarios suggest that the region will be between 1 and 2.3 oC warmer by the 2050s and between 1.6 to 3.9 oC warmer by the 2080s. This warming will occur throughout the year with the greatest rises in the summer months of up to 2.9 oC in the Humber Estuary by the 2050s under the High Emissions scenario. This warming will be accompanied by wetter winters and drier summers. In a major departure from the findings of the 1998 scenarios, the 2002 scenarios suggest that summers will be drier throughout the region and, along with drier springs and autumns, will lead to a reduction in average annual rainfall of between 10 and 20%. The climate will change significantly by the 2050s and dramatically by the 2080s. The major changes by the 2080s include:- · Increases in sea level of between 6 and 82 cm, with the greatest rates of rise in the Humber Estuary under the High Emissions scenario. The scenarios for the Humber are centred on an average rate of 6 mm per year that is currently used for planning purposes. · An increase in high rainfall intensities during the winter across the region, causing urban flooding problems in Bradford and other cities. · Increases in the number of very hot days throughout the region with the greatest impact in large cities such as Leeds away from the coast. · An increase in the length of the growing season by between 45 and 100 days along the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coasts. 1 UKCIP02 scenarios released 26th April 2002. © Crown Copyright 2002. The UKCIP02 climate scenario data have been made available by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). DEFRA accepts no responsibility for any inaccuracies or omissions in the data nor for any loss or damage directly of indirectly caused to any person or body by reason of, or arising out of any use of, this data. Yorkshire and Humber Climate Change Impact Scoping Study Draft Final Report Rev. 2 While changing average conditions will affect many human activities and natural processes, the main impacts of climate change are likely to be related to changing extreme events. The most notable changes for the 2080s Medium-High Emissions scenario include:- · A fourfold increase in the frequency of “wet” winters with 60% more rainfall than average (1961-1990) · A fourfold increase in the frequency of a “dry” summer with 50% less rainfall than average (1961-1990) · A hot “1995” type summer nearly every year rather than once in hundred years based on the 1961 to 1990 climate Changes in future climate will interact with future social and economic changes and other factors to shape the Yorkshire and Humber region over the next 50 years. This study has evaluated the potential impacts of climate change on changing flood risks, water resources, agriculture, forestry, the service sector, industry and commerce and transport. The analysis was based on literature review, consultations with over 100 stakeholders and expert opinion. The study found that there is likely to be a range of positive and negative impacts on the region, for example:- · Increases in flood frequency and adaptation in terms of the operation of flood defences and the development of washlands and other systems to manage runoff at source on a catchment scale. · Adaptation in many sectors depends upon an adequate and reliable source of water. The potential for additional water storage within the region requires serious consideration. · There will be a need for new management strategies of coastal defences under the changed climate conditions. · Management procedures for the protection of landscape features and habitats will need to be adapted to changed climate conditions. The upland moorland of the North York Moors and Pennine areas are particularly vulnerable. · The Humber estuary stands out as an area of high importance and high vulnerability to climate change. Flooding will affect internationally important wetlands, high quality agricultural land, ports and other industries in the flood plain and leisure facilities. · A changing climate will present opportunities within the agricultural sector for both new crops and technical developments. It will also present a challenge to specific existing crop production systems. · Increased tourist pressure under a changing climate will require the upgrading of existing leisure facilities and provision of new ones. There will be opportunities for new forms of coastal tourism and recreation. · Industry will be challenged to develop new ranges of products under conditions of less intensive energy use. There are also opportunities to develop new technologies to support climate change adaptation. · Significant threats to road and rail as a consequence of extreme weather conditions have been identified and a programme of "climate change proofing" is required. In addition, the transport sector can deliver GHG reductions but has not been tasked to do so. · There is a low level of awareness in the region about the implications of climate change and its impacts on economic activities. This is a threat to the region's economic performance and suggests that a sustained programme of information delivery, awareness raising and discussion is required supported by target setting and resources to do this work. In order to adapt to climate change, these potential impacts need to be considered within the mainstream framework for sustainable development. Climate change adaptation reinforces actions for sustainable development. In addition further work is required in climate change adaptation within the region including: - · Consensus building. Increasing awareness of climate change impacts and encouraging smaller businesses to consider energy efficiency, water efficiency, climate risks and climate opportunities. · Managing extremes. Lessons learned from the 1995 drought and Autumn 2000 floods need to be incorporated into contingency plans for future more frequent flood and drought conditions.

    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

    1 The Influence of Groyne Fields and Other Hard Defences on the Shoreline Configuration 2 of Soft Cliff Coastlines 3 4 Sally Brown1*, Max Barton1, Robert J Nicholls1 5 6 1. Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, 7 University Road, Highfield, Southampton, UK. S017 1BJ. 8 9 * Sally Brown ([email protected], Telephone: +44(0)2380 594796). 10 11 Abstract: Building defences, such as groynes, on eroding soft cliff coastlines alters the 12 sediment budget, changing the shoreline configuration adjacent to defences. On the 13 down-drift side, the coastline is set-back. This is often believed to be caused by increased 14 erosion via the ‘terminal groyne effect’, resulting in rapid land loss. This paper examines 15 whether the terminal groyne effect always occurs down-drift post defence construction 16 (i.e. whether or not the retreat rate increases down-drift) through case study analysis. 17 18 Nine cases were analysed at Holderness and Christchurch Bay, England. Seven out of 19 nine sites experienced an increase in down-drift retreat rates. For the two remaining sites, 20 retreat rates remained constant after construction, probably as a sediment deficit already 21 existed prior to construction or as sediment movement was restricted further down-drift. 22 For these two sites, a set-back still evolved, leading to the erroneous perception that a 23 terminal groyne effect had developed. Additionally, seven of the nine sites developed a 24 set back up-drift of the initial groyne, leading to the defended sections of coast acting as 1 25 a hard headland, inhabiting long-shore drift.

    5. Amphibians and reptiles Common toad Bufo bufo Key Sites: Saltfleetby - Theddlethorpe NNR (TF 470 910). Summary Status: • Wildlife and Countryside Act: Schedule 5, Section 9 (5). • Habitats Directive: not listed. • Berne Convention: not listed. • Red Data Book: not listed. • Breeding Status in the Humber: Breeding. • Widespread and common or abundant. Description The common toad Bufo bufo is a widespread amphibian found throughout Britain although this species is absent from Ireland. They are generally brown, grey or dirty green and have the ability to lighten or darken their skin depending on environmental conditions. Their skin is covered in warts which secrete a toxic substance when the toad is seriously threatened. Like most toad species the common toad has short stubby legs. It therefore moves in a series of short hops rather than the large leaps taken by the common frog (Beebee & Griffiths 2000). The common toad tends to avoid grazed pasture, improved grassland, arable fields, heathland and moorlands in favour of rough grassland, scrub and open woodland. Large permanent water bodies with a good cover of emergent and submerged vegetation are preferred. Unlike other British amphibian species, they are able to inhabit ponds, which support fish, due to the unpalatability of common toad tadpoles (Beebee & Griffiths 2000). Common toads feed primarily on ground dwelling arthropods such as ants (family Formicidae), beetles (order Coleoptera), spiders (order Araneae) and earwigs (order Dermaptera), although slower moving items such as earthworms (Class Oligochaeta), and gastropods such as slugs and snails are also taken (Gittins 1987 in Beebee & Griffiths 2000). Distribution within the Humber As in many kinds of species survey, the observed distribution of records will reflect differences in recording effort as well as the real distribution of a species.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.
