Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks. -

Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate: Type of Award: School: Abstract This thesis considers the 1960s poetry, writing and publishing of Jim Burns, Dave Cunliffe and Tina Morris who produced little poetry magazines Move and Poetmeat from Preston and Blackburn respectively and also the latter’s small press BB Books. It places their work within an influential avant garde literary field which spread new forms of poetry alongside the radical politics of what later became known as the counterculture. This work analyses both their literary and social impact, for the first time linking a northern poetry underground with a radical activism still visible today. 1 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction: 4 Chapter One: Post War Poetry 6 Chapter Two: Biographies 23 Chapter Three: Analysis 52 Chapter Four: Counterculture 68 Appendices 88 Bibliography 95 2 Acknowledgements My MA supervisor Dr Robin Purves has been a fantastic help during the research and writing of this dissertation, available for friendly advice throughout the two years (even when his bedroom ceiling collapsed). -

Association Football
www.ebook3000.com Association Football This book presents a synthesis of the work on early football undertaken by the authors over the past two decades. It explores aspects of a fi gurational approach to sociology to examine the early development of football rules in the middle part of the nineteenth century. The book tests Eric Dunning’s ‘status rivalry hypothesis’ to contest what has become known as the revisionist view of football’s development, which stresses an infl uential sub-culture outside the public schools. Status rivalry restates the primacy of these latter institutions in the growth of football, without which the sport’s story would remain skewed and unbalanced for future generations. Graham Curry is a postgraduate of the University of Leicester. Eric Dunning is Emeritus Professor at the University of Leicester. www.ebook3000.com Routledge Research in Sports History The Routledge Research in Sports History series presents leading research in the development and historical signifi cance of modern sport through a collection of historiographical, regional and thematic studies which span a variety of periods, sports and geographical areas.
