Stephen James Abstract The dramatic expansion of the iron industry in Cleveland from 1850 propelled the district briefly to the position of the world’s largest iron-producing centre and brought about the formation of a major industrial cluster in a previously unindustrialised area. By the end of the 1870s, however, its prosperity was threatened by developments in steel-production technology and the growth of iron and steel output in the US and Germany.

  • Fossils of the Whitby Coast: a Photographic Guide Whitby Coast a Photographic Guide
    Dean R. Lomax Fossils of the Fossils of the Whitby coast: A photographic guide A Whitby coast: Fossils of the Whitby coast A photographic guide Dean R. Lomax The small coastal town of Whitby is located in North Yorkshire, England. It has been associated with fossils for hundreds of years. From the common ammonites to the spectacular marine reptiles, a variety of fossils await discovery. This book will help you to identify, understand and learn about the fossils encountered while fossil hunting along this stretch of coastline, bringing prehistoric Whitby back to life. It is illustrated in colour throughout with many photographs of fossil specimens held in museum and private collections, in addition to detailed reconstructions of what some of the extinct organisms may have looked like in life. As well as the more common species, there are also sections on remarkable finds, such as giant plesiosaurs, marine crocodilians and even pterosaurs. The book provides information on access to the sites, how to identify true fossils from pseudo fossils and even explains the best way of extracting and preparing fossils that may be encountered. This guide will be of use to both the experienced fossil collector and the absolute beginner. Take a step back in time at Whitby Siri Scientific Press and see what animals once thrived here during the Jurassic Period. More than 200 colour photographs and illustrations Photography by Benjamin Hyde and Illustrations by Nobumichi Tamura Siri Scientific Press © Dean Lomax and Siri Scientific Press 2011 © Dean Lomax

  • Flamborough Head, Filey Brigg to South Bay: Prediction of 50-Year Cliff Recession Distances
    Flamborough Head, Filey Brigg to South Bay: Prediction of 50-Year Cliff Recession Distances Dr Mark Lee, CGeol, FICE 1 Introduction This short report has been prepared in response to the request from Natural England for advice relating to the following coastal cliff sites: the Filey Brigg SSSI; the Gristhorpe Bay and Redcliff SSSI; the proposed SSSI extension between Filey Brigg and Gristhorpe Bay; the Cayton, Cornelian and South Bays SSSI. the Flamborough Head SSSI; the Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs SPA; The specific casework question to be addressed relates to the expected 50-year cliff recession distance along these clifflines. These predictions are required to underpin the site notification. The assessment has involved: 1. Review of recession prediction methods; this draws on recent research into the reliability of various prediction methods to estimate recession along the Holderness coast (Lee, 2011); 2. Identification of cliff units; these are lengths of cliffline with broadly consistent geological materials (bedrock and glacial deposits), exposure to wave attack and cliff types (Figure 1) and shoreline forms. Over the long-term, they can be expected to retreat at relatively uniform rates i.e. a single 50-year retreat prediction should apply for the whole unit. 3. Assessment of historical recession rates for each cliff unit, based on a review of available reports (e.g. Fururecoast, SMP2 reports, NECAG monitoring reports). 4. Development of 50-year predictions, providing both upper and lower-bound estimates, taking account of the historical recession rates and the expected impact of relative sea-level rise (RSLR). The stages are described in the following sections.

The harbor at Whitby is still the base for the townʹs fishing fleet and it was from here that Captain Cook set out in the ENDEAVOUR on his voyage of discovery to Australia in 1768. Trinity House built the present Whitby Lighthouse in 1858 on Ling Hill to the design of James Walker; originally a pair of towers, aligned north‐south and showing fixed lights over Whitby Rock, the station was altered in 1890 when a more efficient light was installed in the smaller tower and the other closed down. Whitby Lighthouse was automated in 1992 and is monitored and controlled via telemetry link from the Trinity House Central Planning Unit at Harwich. Specifications Established 1858 Height Of Tower 13 Metres Height Of Light Above Mean 73 Metres High Water Automated 1992 Electrified 1976 Lamp 3 250W 24V tungsten halogen lamps mounted on a LC45 two-position lamp changer Optic Six panel 2nd Order Catadioptric Drum Character White and red isophase every 5 seconds Intensity White light 39,800 Candela; red light 17,100 Candela Range Of Light White Light 18 nautical miles; red light 16 nautical miles A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Holiday Cottages Whitby Lighthouse lies on the East Coast just outside the town and close to the North Yorkshire Moors.
