I have , therefore , tried to keep my great love of this portion of ancient Northumbria within and bounds , have even reduced the title of the volume to such colourless words that I might almost be accused of writing for the scurrying traveller who is content to pass through a country and carry away such impressions as he picks up n i an a ssa t . a p This , however, would not be a f r criticism , for, small as this little volume may be , I have endeavoured to indicate where romance and beauty may be found , where associations with literature and great events of history are of enshrined , and where the great solitudes heathery moorland and grassy fell ca ll to the jaded town dweller . In order to make it easy to reach any of the s places described , I have indicated the neare t railway station in italics as prominently as possi b le . i This information is of no nterest to the motorist , v 86 846 2 vi P R E F A C E for his means of locomotion ta ke right to castle , abbey, village , or moor ; but many of those who wish to explore Yorkshire are dependent l on the older means of travel , and wi l no doubt find these indications helpful—the map inside the front cover of the book showing the routes taken in the successive chapters .

This regular forma tion, proclaiming the uniform lack of serious resistance to the inroads of the sea, is due to the fact that the whole of this portion of Yorkshire d a is composed of boulder y, the deposit formed by glacial action back in the Pleistocene period when a great layer of ice covered the northern parts of England . p The eating away of the low cliffs of reddish a b rown clay of an average height of eighteen feet appears to have been going on without interruption for a considerable time, certainly for the last thousand l years and probably for much longer . Ca culations based on the records of Domesday and on old maps and plans give a loss of land along thirty four and a half miles at the rate of seven feet one inch yearly, the strip of Yorkshire cut away by the sea since 1 086 being well over a mile wide with the formidable total superficial area of acres . If the same process has been operating since the beginning of the Roman occupation of Britain , the loss may be increased to acres and the sea would have advanced two and a l ha f miles . H ull has often been given a bad name through ’ the existence of a thieves litany which says : F ro m H l H e a nd H a i a x ul , ll l f , G o o d L o rd d eli v er us ; but this merely proves that the town was so well administered that the vagabond found it desirable al l to keep away , and though Hu l makes no claim K I N G S T O W N - U P O N - H U L L 3 ri to be either a tou st or a health resort , it has features of much interest , including one of the finest churches in the county and many modern buildings which give its chief streets architectural dignity . In volume of foreign trade Hull takes the third place among the ports of Great Britain , and its ’ first dock (Queen s) was completed in 1 778. At n that time it was the largest in England . Since the several others have been built . The King George O 1 1 Dock , pened in 9 4, is one of the largest and best equipped in the United Kingdom . ounder Edward I . is often regarded as the f of u al al H ll, but though he did a great de for the 1 2 port when, in 93 , he bought it from the monks - - of Meaux and renamed it Kingstown upon Hull , yet it is quite an error to call him the founder . Hull was a busy port called Wyke- upon- Hull long before Edward was born . The records of the - customs receipts on wool, rough sheep skins, and l 20 1 20 0 leather between Ju y , 3 , and November 3 , 1 20 S 5, how that this port was doing a trade in these commodities not far Short of hal f that of - London , or one fourteenth of the whole wool and i leather trade of England .

As your Wars of the Roses chairs, Teo Lamiot and I have been working hard with our crisis director, Sofia Filippa, and SMUNC Secretariat members to make this conference the best yet. If you have attended SMUNC before, I promise that this year will be even more full of surprise and intrigue than your last conference; if you are a newcomer, let me warn you of how intensely fun and challenging this conference will assuredly be. Regardless of how you arrive, you will all leave better delegates and hopefully with a reinvigorated love for Model UN. My own love for Model United Nations began when I co-chaired a committee for SMUNC (The Arab Spring), which was one of my very first experiences as a member of the Society for International Affairs at Stanford (the umbrella organization for the MUN team), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Later that year, I joined the intercollegiate Model United Nations team.

  • Introduction to Roman Yorkshire
    ROMAN YORKSHIRE: PEOPLE, CULTURE, LANDSCAPE By Patrick Ottaway. Published 2013 by The Blackthorn Press Chapter 1 Introduction to Roman Yorkshire ‘In the abundance and variety of its Roman antiquities, Yorkshire stands second to no other county’ Frank and Harriet Wragg Elgee (1933) The Yorkshire region A Roman army first entered what we now know as Yorkshire in about the year AD 48, according to the Roman author Cornelius Tacitus ( Annals XII, 32). This was some five years after the invasion of Britain itself ordered by the Emperor Claudius. The soldiers’ first task in the region was to assist in the suppression of a rebellion against a Roman ally, Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes, a native people who occupied most of northern England. The Roman army returned to the north in about the years 51-2, once again to support Cartimandua who was, Tacitus tells us, now under attack by her former consort, a man named Venutius ( Annals XII, 40). In 69 a further dispute between Cartimandua and Venutius, for which Tacitus is again the (only) source, may have provided a pretext for the Roman army to begin the conquest of the whole of northern Britain ( Histories III, 45). England south of Hadrian’s Wall, including Yorkshire, was to remain part of the Roman Empire for about 340 years. The region which is the principal subject of this book is Yorkshire as it was defined before local government reorganisation in 1974. There was no political entity corresponding to the county in Roman times. It was, according to the second century Greek geographer Ptolemy, split between the Brigantes and the Parisi, a people who lived in what is now (after a brief period as Humberside) the East Riding.
