Recycled ride to Huggate, Warter and Goodmanham via Burnby/Nunburnholme Hill Friday March 29th Present: Alison, Bob, Bodman (to Huggate), French John, George, Helen, Ian, Keith, Nick, Steve, Tenor Chris, Trevor Miles: c 40 (not as far as it felt) I liked French John’s poem last week so, being competitive, and after my humiliating failure on Nunburnholme Hill, which Alison tells me is known, among cyclists, as ‘Numbum Hill’, I had to have a go myself at descending into doggerel (coggerel?) Ode to Numbum Hill ‘Beware the rides of March’ said Martin After our last attempt went west And we ended up in Wetherspoons It’s always second best. So Huggate beckoned yet again And the dreaded Numbum Hill But we’re stout-hearted folk of course And the day was calm and still. The larks they sang, the kestrels hovered, We heard a lone chiffchaff, As on we blithely rode and laughed Along our primrose path. At Rachel’s winsome tearoom Fine scones and cake we ate, And dallied for a sunny hour, Heedless of our fate. 1 At Huggate three wise men did choose To give Numbum the swerve So gently off through Burnby, Those three wise souls did curve. The rest rode on, so full of steel, Bravado and good cheer, We did not notice round a bend The object of our fear. Oh no, it was upon us! We didn’t have a clue. Our gears all wrong we faced ahead East Yorkshire’s own K2. The others they all clanked their cogs In a frenzy of decision But mine had locked, my chain was off Oh no, I faced derision. I couldn’t get it on again, I tried and tried in vain I had to walk half up the hill For a flat bit of terrain. Reaching the top, I faced the crowd, French John had the widest grin ‘Say nothing’ I yelled, full of spleen, Before he got a word in. 2 At Goodmanham we all met up The Burnby lot serene, As we launched into piles of grub The Numbum crew did preen. But as for me, the classic hill I’d tackled all in vain. So next time, folks, that it’s my ride We’ll do it all again! HK South Dalton, familiar photo stop. Bodders showing off his lecci bike ! 3 No decision needed, just carry on! Tea and scones at Huggate, lovely place and first visit. 4 Conquerors of Numbum Hill. Photos by Trevor. 5 .

Documentary Records of Floods in the Vale of Pickering
Documentary records of floods in the Vale of Pickering These records are taken from the British Hydrological Society Chronology of Hydrological Events. As they are documentary records, their content is partly a function of the recording of events coupled to the extent to which documents have been found. However, they show a notable phenomenon, often found in other flood records, of a flood rich period in the late-nineteenth century followed by a flood poor period in the early 20 th century. There then follows the textual descriptions that accompanies each flood. Figure 1. Dates of documented flood records before 1950. Note that these are documented which means that they are not equivalent to the continual record of a water level recorder and reflect time-varying trends in the extent to which documents were recorded. 1750 1770 1790 1810 1830 1850 1870 1890 1910 1930 1950 " A sudden inundation of the river Rye happened at Helmsley in Yorkshire, such as had never been known by the oldest people in those parts, probably occasioned by the late heavy rains.Two houses were entirely washed away , the one inhabited by James Holdforth, he and his whole family drowned, except his wife, who being sick in her bed, was carried down the stream half a mile, and at last washed off into a field, where she was found the next morning very little hurt. The other house belonged to John Sunley, was also drowned, and all his family. In the whole thirteen persons.(sic) Two other houses were greatly damaged, as was also the stone bridge at the entrance to the town; fourteen hay-stacks were driven down the river a mile, on one of which was a half year old calf, who kept its footing, and was taken off alive.

Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead Page 1 of 53
Hull History Centre: Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead U DAS Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith 14th cent.-1983 and Family of Winestead Accession number: 1977/07; 2005/16; 2012/27 Biographical Background: Rupert Alexander Alec-Smith was born at Elloughton, near Kingston upon Hull, in 1913. He was the grandson of Alexander Smith, a founding partner of Horsley Smith and Company, a timber importing firm whose small collection of papers dating from 1864 to 1968 is also held at the Hull University Archives (U DHS; see separate entry). Rupert Alec-Smith's parents were Alexander Alec-Smith and Adelaide Horsley. Rupert Alec-Smith was a man with an abiding interest in local and family history and he spent his life fighting to preserve both. In 1936, the demolition of the Georgian Red Hall in Winestead (originally built by the Hildyard family) left a profound impression on him and he founded the Georgian Society for East Yorkshire in 1937 (papers for Lord Derwent and the society are at U DAS/24/13; see also U DX99). He served with the Green Howards during the war and was in Cyprus and the Middle East making the rank of lieutenant colonel by 1944. On leave during the war he rescued fittings from the Georgian residences of Hull's old High Street as this was almost entirely destroyed by German bombs. After the war the Council showed no desire to restore what was left and Alec-Smith continued to salvage what he could from buildings as they were demolished (The Georgian Society for East Yorkshire).

EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.
