The Divisional Engineer had stated that he would fell the trees on the ledge by Castle Road, clear the ivy from the wall, contact the owner of the trees on the eastern side of the road about the problems caused by overhanging branches but could not repoint the retaining wall on the eastern side because he did not have the resources to do so at present. For litter and related matters in Burgate see Minute 66. c) Isabella Court Meeting5 The Town Council noted that the Divisional Engineer would undertake some inlay patching work should the section of the A170 between Manor Drive and Marton Lane not be included in the list of road schemes for 2005. Residents had complained about loose manhole covers on the main road and the noise that was made when heavy goods vehicles drove over them. iii) Willowgate would be temporarily closed between 18 and 22 October 2004 so that a sewer could be connected. Pedestrian and vehicular access to properties would be permitted. iv) The Standards Board for England was sending representatives to YLCA’s area on 8 and 9 November 2004 to speak at meetings for member councils. v) North Yorkshire County Council had published its Council Plan for 2004-07 and would soon be rolling the plan forward to 2005-08. Councillor Mrs Murkett would attend the meeting at North Yorkshire House, 442-4 Scalby Road, Scarborough, 17 November 2004, 6.15-8pm, to discuss the next phase of the plan. vi) Information was being sought from the Utilities on the position of cables and pipes in the Market Place and the western end of Eastgate.

The proposed development would entail the felling of three trees which could be said to enhance this part of Outgang Road. Removal of one the trees might be of benefit to the other two and the street scene as a whole but not, it was suggested, all three. Furthermore the proposed dwelling would hide the frontage of the western wing of the existing structure, designed to be viewed as a whole, and thereby be an instrusive element. It was likely that the proposed development site would be fenced, walled or hedged on its eastern boundary, in itself another intrusive element, which would spoil, perhaps, the line of sight onto the frontage of the west wing. It might be argued that the existing building had already been compromised because in the south western corner of the site a large house and detached garage had been constructed; however, that development did not look as cramped in as the front area would. Finally, it was difficult to imagine how the proposal would square with the street scene given the unusual shape of the plot. The Town Council has received a letter from Mr and Mrs Timmins, 1 Old Barn Cottage, Outgang Road, who had objections to this application. These objections would be communicated to the Planning Authority. 41 iii) Planning Appeals The Town Council noted that • the Planning Inspectorate had dismissed the appeal by Mr S Boak against the District Council’s decision to grant outline planning permission to develop the former Post Office yard off the Market Place for housing; • an appeal had been made to the Secretrary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions in respect of Planning Application No 04/00712/FUL, erection of three bedroom dwelling to include partial demolition of industrial building, 112 Outgang Road, against the refusal of the Planning Authority; • an appeal had been made to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions in respect of Planning Application No 04/00866/OUT, erection of dwelling, land rear of 7 Firthland Road, against the refusal of the Planning Authority. iv) Beck Isle Farm7 The Town Council noted that the District Council’s Planning Committee would decide whether to authorise enforcement action against the owner of Beck Isle Farm to secure removal of bunding and wall when it met on 19 October 2004. v) Town Council Planning Committee The Town Council noted the date of the next meeting of its planning committee: 10 November 2004, 7pm, Memorial Hall. 65 FINANCE i) Councillors’ Audit The Town Council noted that • an audit had been undertaken on 1 October 2004 and everything found to be satisfactory; • the dates of the October to January audits were: 5 November, 3 December; 7 January; 4 February. ii) Health and Safety Arboricultural Inspection: Whitby Road Cemetery8 The Town Council received one tender for the tree work from D Bayes Tree Services and decided to accept it. The work would be undertaken in April-May 2005 and cost £4880.00 ex Vat. iii) Whitby Road Cemetery: resurfacing of road and footpaths The Town Council noted that the first phase of the resurfacing programme had been completed and decided to accept the quotation of £235.00 from Mouchel Parkman to draw up the specifications, health and safety guidelines and plans, and provide an 7 Minute 39iii), pp27-28, 16 August 2004; Minute 53iii), p35, 20 September 2004. 8 Minute 174ii), p91, 19 April 2004; Minute 42ii) p25, 16 August 2004; Minute 54vi, p36, 16 September 2004. 42 estimate for Phase 2, the resurfacing of the footpaths.9 The estimate would be available for the budget process. iv) Health and Safety Interim Report: Street Lighting The Town Council received from the Highways Department, Scarborough Borough Council, an interim report on its inspection of footway lights. The inspection had revealed that three columns and four brackets and lanterns had to be replaced and ivy removed from one of the footway lights. The Town Council authorised the Borough Council to undertake the work at an estimated cost of £3000.00 ex Vat.

The North York Moors became one of our first National Parks in 1952. Its moors are one of the largest areas of heather moorland in Britain and cover an area of 550 square miles. It is hard to imagine that they were once permanently covered in ice and snow. When global warming took effect at the end of the Ice Age, the snowfields began to melt and melt water flowed south. It gouged out the deep valley of Newtondale where the Pickering Beck now flows. Newtondale runs roughly north-south parallel to the A169 Whitby to Pickering road and is a designated SSSI of 940 ha (2,300 acres).

  • Advisory Visit Pickering Beck – Duchy Water 30-08-2011
    Advisory Visit Pickering Beck – Duchy Water 30-08-2011 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Paul Gaskell of the Wild Trout Trust to the Duchy Water on Pickering Beck on August 30th, 2011. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Tony Walsh and Dave Southall of Pickering Fishery Association (http://www.pickeringfishery.co.uk/ ). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 1.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Duchy Water on the Pickering Beck flows over the limestone and calcareous sandstone bedrock of the North Yorkshire Moors to the northeast of Pickering. Bedrock deposits are overlain with a superficial alluvium of clay, silt, sand as well as gravel and the beck runs parallel to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line for much of its course upstream of Pickering. Below the town of Pickering, the Pickering Beck merges with Costa Beck close to Kirby Misperton, that in turn merges with first the Rye and then the Derwent close to Wykeham. Much of the river upstream of Pickering enjoys a conservation designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and also falls within a Catchment Sensitive Farming priority catchment. Furthermore, the catchment is also the beneficiary of a novel flood risk management scheme instigated in 2009 at a cost of around £700K. The project seeks to use land management techniques to increase the time taken for rainfall in the upper catchment to reach the housing and urbanised sections of the downstream catchment (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/news/105562.aspx ).

  • A Post-Colonial Study of Museums in North Yorkshire
    Exhibiting the countryside: A post-colonial study of museums in North Yorkshire Siriporn Srisinurai Master of Arts (by Research) University of York Department of Sociology October 2013 1 Abstract This dissertation attempts to understand the images and stories of the countryside exhibited in two local museums in North Yorkshire – the Ryedale Folk Museum, Hutton le Hole and the Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life, Pickering. The study was conducted through qualitative methods mainly based on multi-sited museography, documentary and visual archives, and interviews. Using a postcolonial framework, this research’s findings relate to three main arguments. First, museums and modernity: the research explores both museums as theatres of memory rather than as a consequence of the heritage industry. The emergence of these museums involves practices that responded to industrialisation and modernity, which led to massive and rapid changes in the Ryedale countryside and nearby rural ways of life. Second, museums and the marginal: “the countryside” exhibited in both museums can be seen as the margins negotiating with English nationalism and its dominant narratives of homogeneity, unity and irresistible progress. Three key aspects involved with this process are space, time, and people. The first part of the research findings considers how both museums negotiated with English nationalism and the use of the countryside as a national narrative through images of the countryside “idyll” and the north-south divide. The second part illustrates how local folk museums exhibited “folklife” as the “chronotopes of everyday life” in contrast with the “typologies of folk objects”. The third part focuses on forgotten histories and domestic remembering of space, time and people based on the “local and marginal” rather than the “universal and national”.
