  • The Collapse of Wenning Bridge (1964)
    50P / FREE TO BENTHAM RESIDENTS The Collapse of Wenning Bridge (1964) By Howard Matthew If you stand on Wenning Bridge today and look down the river, the view is very different from how it was before 1964. In those days the land now occupied by the Millholme Drive/Holme Park Estate was the site of the ‘Wenning Silks’ Mill. The Mill was originally powered by water diverted from the river by a millrace. This meant that the water flowing under the north side of the bridge was quite deep, deep enough to allow swimming in summer and ice skating in winter. The winters of 1963 and early 1964 were especially harsh and the ice particularly thick. When it broke up into large chunks it weakened the weir, which had not been repaired for some years. In 1964 we lived at 8 Hillcroft. At the time the back gardens at numbers 7 and 8 overlooked the millrace. At around 7am on 13th December I was eating breakfast and getting ready to go to school, when I heard a loud rumbling sound. The sound was very loud and deep, not like anything I had heard before. …….Continued overleaf Picture of the bridge as it is now, by Jon Brook of Bentham Imaging Find us on Facebook the bentham news find us on the web www.thebenthamnews.co.uk 2 Continued from page 1……... I ran out to the back garden and, looking over, saw that what had been a placid stretch of water was now a roaring river of stone and mud.

THE YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY- Founded 1863. Incorporated 1893. RECORD SERIES, Vol. LIX. FOR THE YEAR 191 8. INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.

  • Scarborough's War Years, 1939-1945
    SCARBOROUGH’S WAR YEARS - 1939-45 by Richard James Percy PAGE 1 It would be impossible to recollect all the activity that went on in Scarborough during the Second World War. Shops and businesses had to adjust to the war situation. Many closed earlier than usual because of the blackout. The hospital only allowed two visitors to each patient per day and only one at a time by the bedside. Everyone had to carry their gasmasks, although people soon became tired of doing so and the habit slowly petered out. Everyone had an identity card which had to be on the person at all times. The hotels and boarding houses were full of visitors on the first Christmas of the war but this was all to change as one by one they were taken over by the military for the billeting of the armed forces. Scarborough had become a prohibited area and it was difficult for anyone to enter without a lot of questions being asked. Later on in the war visitors did start to arriving for their holidays but it was very hard for them to find accommodation. Many shops and houses had their windows and other breakable things taped up to stop blast damage in case of air raids. The Floral Hall, Gala Land and the South Bay Pool had wire netting in vunerable places. The inhabitants of Scarborough attended dances at the Olympia – the Spa was requisitioned by the military – and although the streets were full of soldiers and a blackout, there was never one case of assault or any trouble.

  • GA009 – Land Off Eshton Road , North of Canal, Gargrave
    Craven Local Plan Examination Note Residential Site Allocation – GA009 – Land off Eshton Road , North of Canal, Gargrave On Hearing day 5, in relation to Matter 5 on Residential Site Allocations, the Inspector requested the provision of a sketch scheme or outline plan and evidence to show how the 60 extra care dwellings proposed for site GA009 can be accommodated, given its irregular shape and the areas of flood risk on the site. The Council has identified a roughly rectangular area for the proposed extra care accommodation which avoids the area of flood risk on the site within the rather irregular shaped site of GA009. This area is shown on the accompanying plan with a black dotted line within the overall boundary of the site. The area shown is 0.96 hectares, which is intended to deliver 60 Extra Care units. This is a realistic size of area to develop for this type of accommodation as evidenced by other similar schemes that have been developed or have an extant consent on similar sized sites in Craven District. For example, full planning permission (Ref 8/2017/18715) was granted in February 2018 for 72 extra care dwellings (comprising 64 apartments and 8 bungalows) at the former High Bentham Primary School site at Robin Lane in High Bentham. The size of the site for the development of the approved Extra Care scheme in Bentham is 0.97 ha. An extra care housing scheme completed in 2014 at Lower Greenfoot in Settle for 50 apartments was developed on a site of 0.69ha. The Council has contacted North Yorkshire County Council regarding the proposed area for Extra Care units within site GA009.

  • Marrick Priory, Swaledale, North Yorkshire: Papers Relating to the Estate, Mainly in the Post- Medieval Period
    Title: Marrick Priory, Swaledale, North Yorkshire: papers relating to the estate, mainly in the post- medieval period Reference No: GB 206 Brotherton Collection Marrick Priory Dates of creation 1170-1812 Name of Creator: Marrick Priory estates Language: Latin, English Administrative History: The remote manor of Marrick in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, was most notable for centuries for the mining of lead in its vicinity which was being undertaken by the time of the Norman conquest. A document authored by Roger de Aske to Roger, Archbishop of York, records the foundation of Marrick Priory as a priory for Benedictine nuns between 1154 and 1158, and there is evidence that it was substantially supported by income deriving from the local lead mines. In 1540 the Priory's closure was brought about by Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries when the prioress and 16 nuns were evicted. It was leased and then purchased by Sir John Uvedale, also known as Sir John Woodhall, former secretary to Anne Boleyn, and then secretary of the council of the North. Ownership passed to Sir Timothy, Hutton of Marske in 1592. It was subsequently sold to the Blackburn family of Blackburn Hall by his son Matthew in 1633. A complex history of changing ownership of the surrounding lands continued until the nineteenth century decline of lead production in the area and the consequent decline on population. The church itself was abandoned after the end of the Second World War. It subsequently became an outdoor activity and residential centre. Scope and Content: arranged by period of ownership and comprises section1 Stapleton (13thc- 19th C) – 257 documents; section 2 Marrick Priory (1170-1538) – 20 documents; section 3 Uvedale (1540-1592) - 100 documents; Brackenbury Hutton Purchase (1589-1599) - 13 documents; and Blackburne (1596-1743) - 530 documents.
