Archaeological Monitoring Robinson, L Durham : University of Durham, Archaeological Services, 2007, 14pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs, CD Work undertaken by: University of Durham, Archaeological Services A visual inspection of the site, prior to the commencement of groundwork, noted two large oval-shaped mounds and a track running south-north across the site. Groundwork revealed that the track comprised a single course of re-used red bricks, most of which were fragmented. The bricks were laid on 0.5m of made ground, which had been used to create a level platform. A number of the bricks were stamped with "Washington Station 1922". Grooves were worn into the bricks intermittently along the southwest side of the track. It was probable that this track related to the Pheasant Drift Mine. The western mound was the only one to be affected by the groundwork. It ran alongside the track and was composed of hard sandy gravel, which was probably a product of the Pheasant Drift Mine. A small gully, running south-west to north-east, was present halfway down the access route to the crane pad. No artefacts were recovered from the fill.

What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
