Ofthe total area surveyed, 6.0 ha falls in Grade 2. Profiles are well to moderately welldrairied with light to medium textured topsoils and subsoils. Weathering limestone bedrock occurs at depth in places and the ALC grade ofthe land is restricted by either slight soil wetness or slight soil droughtiness. 16.0 ha falls in Subgrade 3a. • Profiles are either well drained with light or medium-textured topsoils and subsoils, which are either slightly to very stony or overlie weathering limestone bedrock at around 50cm depth (in which.case soil droughtiness limits the ALC grade) or imperfectly drained with medium-textured topsoils and, in places, upper subsoils overlying gleyed, slowly permeable heavy clay loam or clay (in which case soil wetness limits the land to Subgrade 3a). 8.7 ha falls in Subgrade 3b. Profiles are either well drained, with medium-textured topsoils directly overlying weathering limestone bedrock at around 35cm depth (m which case soil droughtiness limits the land to Subgrade 3b), or imperfectly to pooriy drained with heavy clay loam topsoils overlying slowly permeable' clay subsoils at between 35cm and 40cm depth (in which case soil wetness and workability limit the ALC grade). 1.1 ha of land falls in Grade 4. These soils have been disturbed and are impenetrable by soil auger below about 25cm depth.

A SUGGESTED LOCAL RAMBLE – by Colin Newton This walk starts at the A65 roundabout outside Burley House at the east end of the village (walk along Main Street from the village centre). Walk down Otley Old Road and through the first set of wooden access gates. This was the original route to Otley and was used by all traffic. It is now a public bridleway and is open to cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles requiring local access. This is now a nice saunter down a quiet country lane, and so difficult to believe that at one time – not so long ago – it was heaving with traffic. There are nice views across to the Chevin on your right. Further down, there are views on your left across meadow–land through which the Burley Bypass now runs.

    Yorkshire Geological Society

    YORKSHIRE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Cadeby Formation (Upper Permian) of the Boston Spa-Thorp Arch area Leaders Alison Tymon, Doug Holliday and Michael Mawson and members of the Boston Spa and District Geological Research Group and the West Yorkshire Geology Trust Saturday 8th June 2013 INTRODUCTION The Upper Permian Cadeby Formation (formerly Lower Magnesian Limestone) is exposed at numerous localities in the area around Wetherby and Boston Spa. In addition to a plethora of small 18th and 19th century quarries for building stone, there are several large road and abandoned railway cuttings which supplement data from the natural sections in the banks of the River Wharfe. It is surprising, therefore, that there is no detailed published account of the geology of this area and that few of the exposures have been described and studied in detail. The formation is divided into two members (Wetherby and Sprotborough) and both are well exposed in the area. The numerous, well displayed exposures of the Hampole Beds at the base of the Sprotborough Member is one of the more significant features of these localities. The Boston Spa and District Geological Research Group (BADGERS), mainly comprised of local amateur geologists, has been established with the aim of locating, restoring, measuring and describing these sections. They intend to provide for the first time a complete, permanent record for posterity of this great wealth of geological data, while it is still accessible, in order to provide a more complete knowledge and a greater understanding of the geological history of the area. Together with the West Yorkshire Geology Trust, an interpretation board has been installed at a locality in Boston Spa and an explanatory leaflet explaining and illustrating the local geology has been issued.

    Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M

    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
