  • East Coast EA UV Summary Update Jan 2015
    U V Review Decision Update January 2015 In 2010, Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) contacted the Environment Agency (EA) reporting longer and more frequent use of bathing waters outside of the bathing water season (May to September), on the Lincolnshire coast. Seasonal ultraviolet (UV) disinfection treatment is currently in place at Newton Marsh and Mablethorpe sewage treatment works (STWs); protecting bathing water quality during the bathing water season. A review has been carried out determining whether seasonal UV treatment is still appropriate at these STWs. In August 2012, the EA issued an interim document: “Interim Decision Report on Review of Ultraviolet Disinfection at Newton Marsh and Mablethorpe Sewage Treatment Works”; which concluded that no increase in UV is currently required at Mablethorpe STW due to the good out of season water quality results. Investigations continued at Newton Marsh STW with the third year of water user surveys concluding at the end of April 2014. The overall user survey results and conclusions of the UV review are outlined below. Overall Water User Survey Results User surveys were carried out over three continuous out of bathing seasons at Cleethorpes and Humberston Fitties bathing waters, close to Newton Marsh STW. On average, 2 to 3 surveys were undertaken per week during the out of bathing water months, with an intensive week of additional surveys during October half term 2013. User surveys were not carried out in December 2013 and January 2014, due to extremely low results in these months in previous years. The number of user surveys can be seen in Table 1, together with the observed user numbers.

  • North East Lincolnshire's Historic Settlement Archaeological
    North East Lincolnshire’s Historic Settlement Archaeological Consultation Areas Introduction This document is intended to act as an explanation of the archaeological consultation areas based upon historic settlement cores used within the planning system. There are 33 known and located historic settlements within the modern Borough, all of which will have some form of archaeological deposit still present. However in some areas disturbance by modern development, along with there being little land left to build on, means that it is unlikely that any deposits of significance will be disturbed during normal building works. Both the settlement areas, or cores, are shown in map format along with the areas where the archaeological officer will be consulted on planning applications. These settlements date back to at least the medieval period (11th to 16th centuries) although most have earlier origins. They will all contain archaeological deposits of some kind which are important for understanding the growth and development of the towns and villages of the area, as well as feeding into regional and national data. Brief etymological, geographical, geological and morphological descriptions are given for each parish and the settlements within them where they are known. This information is based upon various sources listed at the end of this document. A very brief description of the archaeological character of each settlement is then given, based upon prior work in the settlement itself, or by comparison with similar settlements if little or no work has been carried out in the settlement itself. Methodology Mapping - The areas of known settlement were mapped as MapInfo Tab files using the Ordnance Survey 1st edition maps of 1887-9 as a basis.

  • M4332 081110 Sec02 Overview Ne Lincs FINAL.Indd
    2 Overview of North East Lincolnshire Regional Context Regional Character & Historical Context The Yorkshire and Humber region is characterised by its variety of people and places, where stark contrasts can be found within small geographical areas. This regional characteristic is particularly relevant to North East Lincolnshire which varies considerably from rural idyll, suburbia, coastal resort, administrative centre to docklands and heavy industry. It becomes distinctly less urban as one moves away from the estuary, largely due to historic settlement patterns centred on employment in agriculture, fi shing and industry. Grimsby developed rapidly in the nineteenth century when it became an important UK port through the import of iron, timber, wheat, hemp and fl ax. In the twentieth century, the growth reached a plateau with the industrial uses of the port changing, to concentrate on fi shing, which has now declined, and fi sh processing which now dominates the industrial landscape along with chemical processing. By contrast, Cleethorpes developed from three small villages into a town upon the arrival of the railways in the mid nineteenth century. Cleethorpes developed to become a popular resort, attracting many working class visitors from nearby areas to it’s tourist attractions. Immingham was a rural village until the turn of the 20th century. It was mostly dependent on agriculture until a dock was developed in direct competition with Hull, based on the advancement in rail connections. During the early and mid 20th century the town developed rapidly around Pelham Road. After the Second World War, the expansion of chemical and petroleum industries along the banks of the Humber fuelled the economic growth and the town’s population escalated, evident in the architectural style of many of the houses today.

  • Archaeological Test Pit Excavations in Old Clee, Lincolnshire in 2017
    Archaeological test pit excavations in Old Clee, Lincolnshire in 2017 Catherine Collins 2019 Access Cambridge Archaeology Department of Archaeology University of Cambridge Downing Street Cambridge CB2 3ER 01223 761519 [email protected] http://www.access.arch.cam.ac.uk/ 1 2 1 Introduction A total of eight 1m2 archaeological test pits were excavated over a single two-day test pitting event in May 2017, in the settlement of Old Clee in northeast Lincolnshire, as part of the Independent Learning Archaeology Field School (ILAFS) and run by Access Cambridge Archaeology (ACA) out of the University of Cambridge. Old Clee is located on the A46 less and now adjoins the seaside town of Cleethorpes on the southern banks of the mouth of the River Humber and is actually now part of Grimsby. The focus of the settlement is to the north of the A46 and nucleated around the 11th century church of the Holy Trinity and Holy Mary the Virgin and the moated manorial site of Clee Hall to the south. It was once a separate village and recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Cleia’, the Old English word for 'clay' and referring to the heavy clay soils of the area, although Old Clee sits on a bedrock of chalk at about 10m OD. There are five references to the settlement in the Domesday Book, which was thought to be quite large at the time and has records of the amount of plough land and meadow both at the time of the Conquest and when the book was produced.
