The History of the Middlesbrough & District THE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLESBROUGH & DISTRICT MOTOR CLUB PART 1 THE FIRST TEN YEARS THE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLESBROUGH & DISTRICT MOTOR CLUB FOREWORD Researched by:- ALFRED VICTOR BUTTRESS Elected Hon. Secretary January 25th. 1923. The initiative to write the history of the Middlesbrough & District Motor Club was engendered by a request of Messrs J.Grayson and I.R.Pragnell, Research Team Leaders, Sports & Pastimes, of the Department of Engineering of the County Borough of Teesside. In first attempting to extract the details of Sporting Events it was borne upon me that it would be just as easy as to write the whole historical record rather than just extract winners of Sporting Events and as a first attempt I decided to divide the records into three parts - General, Social and Sporting. However, I had not gone far with this idea when it became apparent that by so dividing the history, the overall picture would be lost and after further research I decided to narrate the events year by year under the appropriate date and in this connection I have been unable to find the Minutes of meetings held prior to 1912 and have referred to a book of press cuttings and photographs which was compiled by the late Geoff. W. Liddle and presented to the Club following his death. The dates of some of these events have had to be guessed. I have been impressed by the number of prominent citizens who were members of the Club prior to the First World War. We have for instance the following Mayors of Middlesbrough all of whom seem to have taken some pant or evinced interest in the Club. viz: Charles Dorman (Dorman Long & Co.) 1903, H. Forbes, 1904, A. Mattison, 1912, Stanley Sadler 1922/3, Egerton Price (builder of the Cleveland Precision Motorcycle ridden by Freddy Dixon in the 1912 T,T.Race) 1938. Whilst as will be seen the Club has always made representation to safeguard the rights and privileges of its members and to take action where advisable affecting their rights, which is part of the objects of the Club in its Rules. THE HISTORY of the MIDDLESBROUGH & DISTRICT MOTOR CLUB PART 1 2 of 17 PART 1 THE FIRST TEN YEARS. In October 1905 a meeting of motorcyclists was held at Mr Sanderson's, 107 Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough when it was decided to form a Club to be called the "MIDDLESBROUGH & DISTRICT MOTORCYCLING CLUB". Mr T. G. Crombie presided over a good attendance and it was explained that there was a desire amongst motorcyclists in the Town, for a Club. Dr. Leigh Bryan was elected First President, Mr T. G. Crombie Vice-President, Mr G. W. Liddle Secretary, Mr Sanderson Treasurer, Mr Tattersall Captain, Messrs Rudland and Bell, Vice-Captains. The Annual Subscription was fixed at 5/0d.

Inaugurated 3 weeks ago (its members now number 40) it was the first event of its kind held in Middlesbrough and attracted a good deal of attention. The course was from Old Ormesby Village to the top of Ormesby Bank, the stiffest hill in Cleveland, which had a gradient of 1/12 and 1/10. The awards included 3 medals. There was one lady rider, Mrs Considine, wife of Dr. Considine, who handled the machine very well. Other competitors were W.A.George, A.Deuchars, W.H.Rudland, E.Young, E.Reece, J.Bell, J.Brittain, E.Brown, Robinson, Tattersall, Harbottle, G.Haw, M.Young and Dr. Considine. 1906. A Smoking Concert held in the Corporation Hotel on Wednesday, November 10th when prizes that had been won in competitions during the past season were presented. Messrs Bell and George received Gold Medals of neat Maltese Cross design and Dr. P.B.Considine a Silver Medal, second. Dr.Leigh Bryan made the presentations. It was announced that promises of two Gold Medals from the Rex Motor Company and Dr. Considine respectively and a Silver Cigarette Case from G.W.Liddle and a Silver Matchbox from Mr Deuchars for competition in the 100-mile Reliability Trial in April next, had been received. In the same month at the Corporation Hotel a Paper was read by Mr Bennett of the Bosch Magneto Co., London entitled "MAGNETO IGNITION". The talk was illustrated with a series of lantern slides.

  • Ripon Fragments
    1 Introduction Medieval manuscripts survive in varying degrees of completeness. This is a study of the most vestigial survivors of medieval manuscript culture, the leaves from books which were dismembered during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and re-used to strengthen the bindings of early modern books. The focus of the study will be the fragments of medieval manuscripts preserved in a specific collection of books that belong to Ripon Cathedral Library. The aim of the study is to investigate the history of the fragments, using an appropriate methodology to hypothesise (if not establish) which manuscripts they were disbound from, and in which printed books they were recycled in the cases where they are no longer preserved in situ. The books of Ripon Cathedral Library have been held on long-term deposit in the Brotherton Library at Leeds University since 1980. The library of Ripon Cathedral was founded at the beginning of the seventeenth century. The nucleus of its collection was the bequest of Anthony Higgin, Dean of Ripon Cathedral.1 The physical components of this remarkable collection of early printed books reveal a hidden library of fragments that were once leaves of medieval manuscripts before being used as pastedowns and binding strips to strengthen the bindings. Since a nameless visitor to Ripon Cathedral started sorting and identifying the fragments in the 1920s, much work has been carried out, but much remains to be done. This dissertation will contribute to our understanding of the fragments by focusing on their relationship with the bindings in which they have been preserved. Determining the provenance of a binding and of an isolated scrap of text is far from straightforward, and the problems and challenges of identifying and interpreting fragments will be explored in a series of case studies.

The full version of the walk. Add extra nights (we recommend Ripon, Malham and Austwick) to ease you in, give you a rest in the middle and to celebrate the end. How much walking? Full days: 15-24 km per day, 3½-6½ hours walking Using shortening options: 10-15km per day, 2¼-4½ hours walking using ride-with-luggage transfers at the start of each day Max. Grade: This route, our third in England and our first in the north of the country, seeks to show walkers the two sides of Yorkshire’s rural heritage, and was designed by local residents and On Foot clients Shaun and Lynda Callaghan. Starting in the eastern lowlands, in the little cathedral “city” of Ripon, the first day takes you straight to one of the most important centres of medieval England, Fountains Abbey, which owned vast tracts of the county before Henry VIII decided that he would prefer them for himself and his barons. The setting of the Abbey is without parallel. The route then starts to climb, gradually at first, through the sheep country of the Dales (sheep were as important in medieval times as they became in the 18th century when they were the basis for Yorkshire’s industrial growth). Linking the pretty villages of Pateley Bridge, Burnsall, Hebden, Grassington and Kettlewell, your route reaches limestone country via justly famous Malham “Cove”, before traversing the market town of Settle to your destination, Austwick village, nestling in the dale below the gaunt massif of Ingleborough, one of Yorkshire’s “three peaks”, and your final challenge.

This is known as the Plan Area. Some settlements however fall part inside the National Park, namely Hudswell, Downholme and East Witton, yet they have been included in this study. The purpose of this study is to help us to understand the role of each settlement in the local area and to guide us in planning for the future of each settlement and the Plan Area as a whole. Gathering Information This study has been updated from its original version which was compiled in June 2009. As part of this update a range of local sources have been used, including contact with and feedback from local Parish Councils and Meetings, information held by the Council, desktop studies, web resources and site visits to the relevant settlements. Maintaining the Information It is the nature of such studies that they date very quickly; therefore we will update this study on a regular basis.
