Land Slip Danger at Derelict Kilton Mine Site - Local News - News - Gazette Live Page 1 of 2 Land slip danger at derelict Kilton mine site - Local News - News - Gazette Live Page 1 of 2 Land slip danger at derelict Kilton mine site by Mike Morgan , Evening Gazette May 28 2012 CHILDREN trespassing on private land at an historic shale heap are at risk of being injured in land slips and in derelict mine buildings. Barrie Pell - who formerly worked at the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum at Skinningrove - has contacted Redcar and Cleveland councillor Steve Kay to raise concerns about the Kilton site, near Kilton Thorpe. The mine enthusiast, 58, of Liverton, has also written to landowner Skelton and Gilling Estate, urging it to take action. As well as making the area and buildings safe, Mr Pell also wants estate manager Nick Raban-Williams to ensure the history of the heap is preserved. Speaking on behalf of the owner, Mr Raban-Williams has reserved comment until he receives a letter from Cllr Kay. Mr Pell said: “While there are safety concerns about children and youths who are not supposed to be on this private land, the shale heap area should be preserved in a proper way.” He says cans and other objects can be seen in the old buildings - an indication children or youths have been at the site. Cllr Kay has written to Mr Raban-Williams expressing his views on the site, which falls within his Lockwood ward. “I’m concerned that the site is too accessible to the public in view of the potential hazards to be found there,” he said. “Because the shale has been excavated, at the north-east side of the shale heap, the base rises up at an extremely steep angle, creating the potential for a landslide. “A derelict concrete building appears to have already partly slipped down the slope. “The ruinous buildings present a real hazard to anyone walking among them, or, worse still, foolishly climbing on them.” Cllr Kay goes on to claim that there are what appear to be broken sheets of asbestos on the ground and that a further sheet looks “poised to fall from the remains of the roof”. “I appreciate that the whole site is on private property, but it’s completely open from Kilton Lane and there are public rights of way in the vicinity,” he adds. “Further, it’s been reported to me that youths and children on bikes and ponies have, in the past, been seen on, or near, the site. In addition there’s evidence of bottles and cans in the buildings.” Cllr Kay writes that, in his view, the shale heap and buildings should be made safe and the site “secured against future ingress by the public”.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

Birtle (NNU) EDITORIAL It is perhaps fitting that, as the Cleveland Naturalist's Field Club enters its 111th year in 1991, we should be celebrating its long history of natural history recording through the re-establishment of the "Proceedings". In the early days of the club this publication formed the focus of information desemmination and was published continuously from 1881 until 1932. Despite the enormous changes in land use which have occurred in the last 60 years, and indeed the change in geographical area brought about by the fairly recent formation of Cleveland County, many of the old records published in the Proceedings still hold true and even those species which have disappeared or contracted in range are of value in providing useful base line data for modern day surveys.

  • Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report
    Review of Polling Districts And Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report NOTICE OF POLLING DISTRICTS & POLLING STATION REVIEW Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places in accordance with the requirements of Section 18C(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has now published its final recommendations for new electoral arrangements for Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. The recommendations must now be approved by Parliament and a draft order, to bring in to force their recommendations, has been laid in Parliament. Subject to Parliamentary Scrutiny, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the Local Elections in 2019. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has recommended an increase in the number of wards within the Borough from 22 to 24. Each Ward is required to be sub-divided into polling districts; the number of polling districts will however decrease from 101 to 86. All polling districts have been re-categorised using with new reference letters which are more meaningful to the Ward and Parliamentary Constituency, for example BMTAM, where BMT reflects the ward (Belmont), A defines the sub district and M is the constituency the ward belongs to (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland). A polling place is provided for electors living within each polling district. The changes to Wards mean that the Council was required to carry out a review of polling districts and polling places within the Borough, pursuant to Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is therefore conducting a review of the polling districts and polling places.

Writing in the early Loftus mine, the internal railway system and part of 17th century, William Camden states “Upon the shore, the zig zag connection to the main line. Skengrave, a small village, thrives by the great variety of fish which it takes; where it is reported that, seventy years ago, they caught a sea-man, who lived upon raw fish for some days, but at last, taking his opportunity, he made his escape into his own element. When the winds are laid and the sea is calm… a hideous groaning is oftentimes heard in these parts on a sudden, and then the fishermen are afraid to go to sea.” Another account claims that during his stay “fayre maidens were welcomest guests to his harbour, whome he woulde beholde with a very earnest countenaynce, as if his phlegmatic breast had been touched with the sparke of love.” (J.W. Ord 1846) Skinningrove Station above the village on the Loftus to Middlesbrough line. It opened in 1875 and closed in 1958.
