  • Some Elements of the Landscape History of the Five 'Low Villages'
    Some elements of the Landscape History of the five ‘Low Villages’, North Lincolnshire. Richard Clarke. Some elements of the landscape history of the five ‘Low Villages’, north Lincolnshire. The following twelve short articles were written for the Low Villages monthly magazine in 2014 and 2015. Part One was the first, and so on. In presenting all 12 as one file certain formatting problems were encountered, particularly with Parts two and three. Part One. Middlegate follows the configuration of the upper scarp slope of the chalk escarpment from the top of the ascent in S. Ferriby to Elsham Hill, from where a direct south-east route, independent of contours, crosses the ‘Barnetby Gap’ to Melton Ross. The angled ascent in S. Ferriby to the western end of the modern chalk Quarry is at a gradient of 1:33 and from thereon Middlegate winds south through the parishes of Horkstow, Saxby, Bonby and Worlaby following the undulations in the landscape at about ten meters below the highest point of the scarp slope. Therefore the route affords panoramic views west and north-west but not across the landscape of the dip slope to the east. Cameron 1 considered the prefix middle to derive from the Old English ‘middel’ and gate from the Old Norse ‘gata’ meaning a way, path or road. From the 6th and 7th centuries Old English (Anglo-Saxon) terms would have mixed with the Romano-British language, Old Norse (Viking) from the 9 th century. However Middlegate had existed as a route-way long before these terms could have been applied, it being thought to have been a Celtic highway, possibly even Neolithic and thus dating back five millennia.

  • Lines Across Lincolnshire Jon Fox Sample 2
    2 : TRENT VALLEYS Changing Courses, Gaps & the Ice Age Rivers are one of the most significant linear features in the landscape, previous courses dating to the Ice Age that affected much of southern and both physically and culturally, forming corridors with their own natural central Lincolnshire. At various points in the Trent’s history, its tributaries processes and ecology that have interracted with human societies from the have included the Witham, Till, Slea, Glen and Bain, and even the Welland earliest times. Archaeological remains from over half a million years ago and Nene probably joined it before entering the North Sea until relatively indicate that early hominids used the main river valleys of south-eastern recently (Bridgland, 2014). Today’s Trent, conjoined with the Ouse to form Britain to navigate and colonise the interior of what was then a peninsula of the Humber, receives the River Ancholme and also affects patterns of silt Europe. The ‘Bytham River’, which crossed southern Lincolnshire prior to deposition on Lincolnshire’s coast. In short, very little of Lincolnshire is the Anglian glaciation, is an important example. Later, despite the risk of without some Trent influence on its landscape. flooding, rivers attracted permanent settlement at key crossing and trading 31 points, some of which developed over time into our most important towns. This chapter focuses on the River Trent – including its previous courses through Ancaster and Lincoln – and investigates how the river’s evolution during the Ice Age has influenced the landscape across Lincolnshire. The River Trent is sometimes seen as rather peripheral to Lincolnshire or, at most, as boundary territory with neighbouring counties.

Orton Goldhay, Peterborough PE2 5ZR En v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y f o r e wo r d I very much hope you enjoy this, our 2003, Snapshot of the environment in the Anglian Region of the Environment Agency. On the next few pages we look at some of the key indicators of the health of our Region. We can take comfort from the improvements made to river and coastal water quality, air quality, enhanced wildlife and innovative flood defence management. The Anglian Region has a vibrant economy and is a healthy place to live. We are proud of our contribution to the sustainable development of our Region but recognise that we cannot afford to be complacent. We still face daily challenges from pollution incidents and the desire to improve further the biodiversity and quality of our environment. The Anglian Region of the Environment Agency covers a large area and we cross a number of regional Government boundaries. The data that we have used for this year's Snapshot reflects the situation across the whole of the Anglian Region. In 2004 we plan to publish a fuller State of the Environment Report. I look forward to another successful year working with our regional and local partners to deliver an improved environment and a better quality of life for all of us in the Anglian Region.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Grimsby and Ancholme Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Grimsby and Ancholme catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Grimsby and Ancholme CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs This could affect Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Humberston and for England and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have the Humber trade zone industrial area. Surface water assessed inland flood risk across all of England and and sewer flooding can affect Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Wales for the first time. The CFMP considers all types Humberston and Brigg. Areas between Barrow and of inland flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface Cleethorpes, including Grimsby and the Humber trade water and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from zone, are susceptible to groundwater flood risk.
