Bullock70v.1.Pdf CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution. Thus, the spatial development of mining and manufacturing on Tee3side was governed by the cost factor. and advantage was generally taker. of any opportunity to red- uce costs. Agriculture, however, was more responsive to national than regional conditions, and f--tted the appropriate location model less closely, As would be expected, the cen- tral place system expanded in the economically buoyant urban areas, where population and economic growth were concentrated, and contracted in rural districts dependent on farming. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would ýlike to take this 'opportunity to, thank the many individuals who have helped to bring this study to fruition, In particular, I am grateful to Mr. B. Fullerton, of the 'e- partment, of Geography at Newcastle, who supervised the study and gave generously of his time and advice throughout its development. Dr. K. Warren, until recenuly also a member of the Department, very kindly read and commented on a draft of one of the chapters of the thesis. I also owe much to Prof- essor J. W. House, who gave me the opportunity to study at Newcastle and has been most helpful on many occasions. My fellow post-graduate student colleagues have provided a con- genial atmosphere for research and have supplied me with more direct forms of assistance whenever they could. Throughout the North East, as well as further afield, I was given every facility possible by the staffs of refer- ence libraries and record offices, and to them collectively I wish to express my gratitude for their efforts on my beh- alf. The Secretary of the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers, RL% Walker, was especially helpful and kindly allowed me access to the Institute's lib- rary and valuable collection of records. Mr. B, Wyattj of the British Steel Corporation's Estates Department at Midd- lesbrough, permitted me to examine what remains of the Dor- man-Long records of mining in Cleveland. In the same cont- ext, Mr. G. Gull - now of the British Steel Corporation, but - iii - - iv - a former Secretary of the Cleveland Mine Ownerst Association - also proved very helpful and informative. Most of all, however, I am grateful to my wife, Margaret, for both her practical assistance and her unwavediing moral support, TABLE OF CONTENTS Page A`kSTRACT ........

  • Citywide Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan 2010
    Citywide Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan 2010 - 2020 Delivering Newcastle’s Sustainable Community Strategy Foreword We realise the need for a citywide climate change strategy, one that provides a comprehensive response to the threats and opportunities that we face. We also recognise the urgent need to secure a low carbon future and prepare for a changing climate. I’m proud to say the strategy goes much further than before. It raises our ambitions and sets out how we plan to deliver against national and European commitments. At the heart of the strategy is our Sustainable Energy Action Plan that sets out a scenario to reduce our carbon emissions, and makes us confident enough to commit to our Newcastle Climate Change Declaration, adopted by the full Council in March 2010. The strategy also contains plans to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. These will help us to seize the opportunities that a low carbon future presents, and to protect our heritage and citizens into a sustainable future. We all have a part to play, from our day-to-day actions and efforts to live in a low carbon future, to the development, delivery and uptake of physical measures to minimise our impact on the environment. This presents significant economic opportunities for our City. However, we cannot do this without understanding and preparing to live with the inevitable risks of a changing climate. Although the strategy lays the foundations for these actions, achieving our goals will not be easy. In this time of austerity we need to be bold in our choices and strong in our convictions, so that we make the decisions necessary for the future.

Sale of Hetton Colliery was Sold to a new Joint North Stock Co, to be called the County of Dur- Hetton ham Joint Stock Coal Co. Shares £50. Colly. each Mr. Bowes M.P. is said to be at the head of this Co. I had a meeting with Messrs. Donkin Phillipson, Ins. Dunn & Ins. Burrell, on the part of the Hetton Co. and with H[enry] Morton on behalf of Lord Durham on this Subject. It was unanimously [argued] that the N. Hetton Colly falling into the hands of this Joint Stock Co. would ren- der it impossible for the best Collieries on the Wear to form a district Regulation amongst themselves, in the event of the general Regulation being broken up, and that it was, therefore, advisable, if possible to prevent this Sale being completed. I was [devised] to write I. Gregson to ask him if the agreement for the Sale 1836 2. was definitively concluded, and if not to inquire, if he could delay it a Week as in that case a proposition would be submitted to the N. Hetton Co. by which they would obtain their object, and the mischief which would result to the trade from the Colliery Falling into the hands of this Joint Stock Co. wd. Be averted. It was proposed in the event of the Colliery still being to be had, that the other [b]est Collieries, Should purchase it amongst them according to their re- spective Bases.

Despite the enormous changes in land use which have occurred in the last 60 years, and indeed the change in geographical area brought about by the fairly recent formation of Cleveland County, many of the old records published in the Proceedings still hold true and even those species which have disappeared or contracted in range are of value in providing useful base line data for modern day surveys.

  • Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report
    Review of Polling Districts And Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report NOTICE OF POLLING DISTRICTS & POLLING STATION REVIEW Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places in accordance with the requirements of Section 18C(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has now published its final recommendations for new electoral arrangements for Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. The recommendations must now be approved by Parliament and a draft order, to bring in to force their recommendations, has been laid in Parliament. Subject to Parliamentary Scrutiny, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the Local Elections in 2019. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has recommended an increase in the number of wards within the Borough from 22 to 24. Each Ward is required to be sub-divided into polling districts; the number of polling districts will however decrease from 101 to 86. All polling districts have been re-categorised using with new reference letters which are more meaningful to the Ward and Parliamentary Constituency, for example BMTAM, where BMT reflects the ward (Belmont), A defines the sub district and M is the constituency the ward belongs to (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland). A polling place is provided for electors living within each polling district. The changes to Wards mean that the Council was required to carry out a review of polling districts and polling places within the Borough, pursuant to Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is therefore conducting a review of the polling districts and polling places.

Skengrave, a small village, thrives by the great variety of fish which it takes; where it is reported that, seventy years ago, they caught a sea-man, who lived upon raw fish for some days, but at last, taking his opportunity, he made his escape into his own element. When the winds are laid and the sea is calm… a hideous groaning is oftentimes heard in these parts on a sudden, and then the fishermen are afraid to go to sea.” Another account claims that during his stay “fayre maidens were welcomest guests to his harbour, whome he woulde beholde with a very earnest countenaynce, as if his phlegmatic breast had been touched with the sparke of love.” (J.W.
