    ^ AGRICULTURAL LAND CLASSIFICATION Al (M) BRAMHAM TO WETHERBY NORTH YORKSHIRE PROPOSED ROAD WIDENING MARCH 1994 ADAS Job No:- 33/94 Leeds Statutory Group MAFFRef;- EL 10282 Commission No:- 969 brartiham. doc.alc/mp SUMMARY An Agricultural Land Classification survey of land adjoining the A1(T) between Bramham and Wetherby was carried out in March 1994. Ofthe total area surveyed, 6.0 ha falls in Grade 2. Profiles are well to moderately welldrairied with light to medium textured topsoils and subsoils. Weathering limestone bedrock occurs at depth in places and the ALC grade ofthe land is restricted by either slight soil wetness or slight soil droughtiness. 16.0 ha falls in Subgrade 3a. • Profiles are either well drained with light or medium-textured topsoils and subsoils, which are either slightly to very stony or overlie weathering limestone bedrock at around 50cm depth (in which.case soil droughtiness limits the ALC grade) or imperfectly drained with medium-textured topsoils and, in places, upper subsoils overlying gleyed, slowly permeable heavy clay loam or clay (in which case soil wetness limits the land to Subgrade 3a). 8.7 ha falls in Subgrade 3b. Profiles are either well drained, with medium-textured topsoils directly overlying weathering limestone bedrock at around 35cm depth (m which case soil droughtiness limits the land to Subgrade 3b), or imperfectly to pooriy drained with heavy clay loam topsoils overlying slowly permeable' clay subsoils at between 35cm and 40cm depth (in which case soil wetness and workability limit the ALC grade). 1.1 ha of land falls in Grade 4. These soils have been disturbed and are impenetrable by soil auger below about 25cm depth.

  • THE ROTHWELL, LOFTHOUSE, OULTON with WOODLESFORD and METHLEY with MICKLETOWN TEAM BROCHURE
    Holy Trinity Church, Church Street, Rothwell, LS26 0QL Parish Profile THE ROTHWELL, LOFTHOUSE, OULTON WITH WOODLESFORD and METHLEY WITH MICKLETOWN TEAM BROCHURE January 2018 1 Holy Trinity Church, Church Street, Rothwell, LS26 0QL Parish Profile THE OPPORTUNITY We are looking and praying for a Team Rector who will lead us, and bring new energy to support us in collaborating our Mission & Ministry across our four parishes. THE TEAM, ITS PARISHES AND THE AREA TEAM LOCATION All four parishes cluster around the M1/M62 intersection in easy reach of both Leeds and Wakefield. Many of our people have coal mining in their blood and the Benefice encompasses the world-famous Rhubarb Triangle. DIVERSITY ACROSS THE TEAM For all our geographical closeness, each community has a distinct character. Rothwell was a large mining village which has grown into a significant suburban centre and feels like a small town. Lofthouse is a ribbon development of mining and agricultural communities along a main road where in recent decades many housing estates have grown up. Oulton with Woodlesford combines historic housing of the wealthy with some challenging estates and has a good selection of shops and other facilities. Methley is a large village set amidst the estate of its aristocratic lords of the manor which is joined with the mining centre of Mickletown where most people live. TEAM HISTORY Two parishes are in the Domesday Book, but all owe their population growth to coal mining and associated industries. They all now attract commuters into the cities and so all communities within the Team continue to grow.

  • Yorkshire Geological Society
    YORKSHIRE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Cadeby Formation (Upper Permian) of the Boston Spa-Thorp Arch area Leaders Alison Tymon, Doug Holliday and Michael Mawson and members of the Boston Spa and District Geological Research Group and the West Yorkshire Geology Trust Saturday 8th June 2013 INTRODUCTION The Upper Permian Cadeby Formation (formerly Lower Magnesian Limestone) is exposed at numerous localities in the area around Wetherby and Boston Spa. In addition to a plethora of small 18th and 19th century quarries for building stone, there are several large road and abandoned railway cuttings which supplement data from the natural sections in the banks of the River Wharfe. It is surprising, therefore, that there is no detailed published account of the geology of this area and that few of the exposures have been described and studied in detail. The formation is divided into two members (Wetherby and Sprotborough) and both are well exposed in the area. The numerous, well displayed exposures of the Hampole Beds at the base of the Sprotborough Member is one of the more significant features of these localities. The Boston Spa and District Geological Research Group (BADGERS), mainly comprised of local amateur geologists, has been established with the aim of locating, restoring, measuring and describing these sections. They intend to provide for the first time a complete, permanent record for posterity of this great wealth of geological data, while it is still accessible, in order to provide a more complete knowledge and a greater understanding of the geological history of the area. Together with the West Yorkshire Geology Trust, an interpretation board has been installed at a locality in Boston Spa and an explanatory leaflet explaining and illustrating the local geology has been issued.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
