  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

It includes how the landscape and habitats may change over time and what things are likely to remain the same. It includes human interaction and management of the environment but does not aim to cover other linked issues such as social and economic changes and pressures within and outside the National Park.These issues and the way they interact with the natural environment and its management are covered more fully in the Northumberland National Park Management Plan. Sustainable development and management of an area needs to consider these elements together, but this document helps to put some detail and discussion about the natural environment which changes at a different rate to the usual short timescales of forward planning and political cycles.The vision will be used to help focus activities to improve the biodiversity and ecosystem services of the National Park. It will be used to target, plan and deliver habitat improvement, restoration and creation to create a connected and robust National Park fit for the future.
