He doubted,however, the explanationthat had been givenof the meaningof cow-lands,and the allegedright of partiesto a share of tillage-landproportioned to the stockthey possessed. He was,oni the whole, disposed to think,with Mr. Camp- bell,that the Irish triberesembled the Indianvillage community; but he could not agreewith Mr. Campbellin regardingthe village systemas peculiarlyAryan. It was foiundamong purely Tatar races,e. g. amongthe hill-tribes round Munnipore, whom none would suspectof beingAryan, and in Russia,in districts,as, he believed, purelyTatar. He was not awareof any customor institutionthat could be claimedto be distinctivelyAryan. Caste certainlywas not,though Mr. Campbellsaid it was. Mr. Campbell,in his paper on the Ethnologyof India, read beforethis Society,had used the words caste and race as synonyms. If that was correct,caste could not be distinctivelyAryan, seeing there were various races of Tura- naiansand Semites. Casteand race were not, however, synonyms; and theliterature of India disclosed to us thegrowth of caste distinctions amonga peopleof one race withinthe periodof thegrowth of the literature. 'lherewere caste distinctionsin Peru,where the Incas were a caste; and no one claimedthe Peruviansas Aryan. For himself,he believedthat the linguistic classification of men in fami- lies as Aryans,Semites, and Turanianshad no properfoundation; it had servedits dayand fellto be abandoned. Mr. HYDE CLARKE remarkedthat the subjectrequired the appli- cationof the comparativeknowledge of similarinstitutions. Many such illustrationswouldI be obtainedfrom this island duringthe Anglo-Saxontime. The rath,as an enclosure,corresponded with the tonor town.

J. C. ATKINSON-On theDanish Element also of all such as are interestedin tracingthe fluctuationsand mutations and successionsof the races or tribes or peoples who may (or must) in formerdays have occupied the land, or indeed any portionof it, whethermore or less definite. But in Clevelandwe not onlyfind garsel (hedge-sticks),repre- sented by S. G. gardsel, Sw. gdrdsle,Dan. gjerdsel, S. Jutl. gardsel; grim (a death's-head,as sculpturedon a grave-stone or monument),by 0. N. grasma,a masl, 0. Sw. grima; kirk- grim(a bar guest),by Sw. Dial. kyrke-grime,Dan. Dial. kirke- grim; cuvvin,cuvvin-scar (the periwinkle,and the flat surface of rockwhich is the habitat of that mollusk),by 0. N. kufungr, Norse, kuvung;Norse skjer, 0. N. sker, a rock risingto the level of the water-surface;and so on of other words to the numberof manyscores, but we also meetwith a verylarge pro- portionof personalnames which are not onlynot English in their origin,but most certainlyScandinavian. I take as typesof this class of names (and only a few out of many) Milburn,Mew- burn, Osburn, Allison, Jordison,Towlson, Lockson, Colson, Birkell, Aiskell, Thirkell, Horne, Horden, Gill, Keld, Rigg, Ness, Lax, Scarth, Scar. Most of these existin the districtto this day, and all of them, with the restof the large class to whichthey belong, and of which theyare fairsamples, are met within continualiteration in all the older parochial registers to whichI have so farhad access. On passingfrom personal to local nomenclature,the impres- sion producedby such facts as those already adduced on the mind of any inquirerroused to observantattention cannot fail to be deepened. Not only do -by's,-thorpe's, -thwait's, -griff's, -dale's, -um's(all demonstrably0. Norse or 0. Danish datives plural), and a host of othersnot admittingof classification,be- sides the manifoldprefixes furnished by such personalnames as Kell or Ketel, Dane, Norman, Ugelbard, Leising, Orm, In- gialld,Bergulf, Grim, Grimkell,Baldr,-not only do such local names as are distinguishedby the presenceof one or moreof these characteristicsmeet us in preponderatingnumbers at everyglance we cast over the map, but we find,as a rule, ad- mittingof only a few exceptions,the geographicalor physical featuresof the countrydescribed or distinguishedby such terms as gill,foss, scar,finkel, dale, rigg,botton, head, brae, sike,houl, bank, nab, and the like; and this withoutdwelling on such wordsas garth,intak', houe, &c., whichare perhapsrather dia- lectic than classifiableas making an elementin local names. Facts such as these now stated are obviouslynot accidental, and, taken in mutual connexion and combination,they are surelysuch as are likelyto provokeinquiry and suggesta part, at least) of its methodand direction. This content downloaded from 195.78.109.119 on Tue, 17 Jun 2014 05:36:51 AM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions in the Populationof Cleveland,Yorkshire. 353 For, to a studentof such matters,though but littlepractised, one of the most obvious facts connectedwith names, either local or personal (so obvious that it seems almost impertinent to do morethan simplystate it), is, thatnot a fewof themhave been subjected to the distortingand disintegratinginfluences of corruption. Take Marsey, Parsyble, Breckon, Hebron, Cowtus,Stanas, personalnames borneby manyfamilies within thepreseilt century, and all, save one,existing at the presentday in the formsgiven; or take Moorsholm,Coatham, Ugglebarnby, Aislaby (pronouncedHesselby by the coiuntrypeople, both in Yorkshireand Lincolnshire)as samplesof local names,and it seems verydifficult by mere inspectionto make any thing of them. In fact, two or threeof themare simplymisleading, if regardedonly in connexionwith theirform and sound,and one in particular,Moorsholm, is a couplingtogether of contradic- tions. Obviously,in the formerinstances, the inquirybecomes -What was Marsey's father's,grandfather's, or greatgrand- father'sname? what Hebron's,Breckon's, Parsyble's, Cowtus's, and Stanas's? And in nearly every instance the inquiry,if duly pushed, meets with its solution: Marseyis found to be Mercer; Hebron,in 1596, was Abram; Parsyble,in 1691, Persi- bell, and, two or three generationsbefore that, Persivalluss; Breckon, Braican or Braykall, sending us furtherback and afieldstill forits origin,while Cowtus and Stanas (foundwith eight or ten variationsof each) resolve themselvesultimately into Stonehouseand Colthurst. In fact I can specifybut one currentand specialCleveland name which,three centuries since, was as much corrupted(at least presumably)as at the present day. That name is Hartas, then Hiartus. But researchesof the same kind, touching such names as Moorsholm,iHesselby, Yarm, and the like, pushedback over a space of no more than 300 years, produce almost absolutely nothingin the way of light or explanatioin. Some strange illustrationsof change or corruptionin local names com- menced and completed within that space certainly do by chance occur, such as the conversionof a name that was written Armitthwatein 1623, Armthwaiteabout 1720, into Ainthorpe of 1820, and sounded, in 1870, Aintrup. This is in the parish of Danby. But Moorsholm,Yarm, Coatham, Ugglebarnby,&c. wereunaltered, except in being,in some in- stances,spelt rather more phonetically, 300 years ago. Moors- holm fluctuatedbetween Moreshame, Moorsham, Mooresome, Moresum,&c., and Coatham might be foundwritten Cotham; anldthis was all. Furtherinquiry, therefore, but in the same direction,not only became necessarybut was distinctlyindi-

    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.

In the early days of the club this publication formed the focus of information desemmination and was published continuously from 1881 until 1932. 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.

BACKGROUND What are Local Sites and why do we need them? 1.1 Local Sites can be Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) or Local Geological Sites (LGS). Local Wildlife Sites are areas of land which meet specific, objective criteria for nature conservation value. These criteria, which are based on the Defra guidance(1), have been decided locally by the Tees Valley Local Sites Partnership. The sites represent a range of important habitat types and variety of species that are of conservation concern. The Tees Valley RIGS (Regionally Important Geological Sites) group advises the Local Sites Partnership on the selection and management of Local Geological Sites, areas which they have identified as being of geological importance. 1.2 Local Sites can provide local contact with nature and opportunities for education, however designation as a Local Site does not confer any right of access. 1.3 Formerly known as Sites of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCIs) and RIGS, Local Sites are non-statutory site designations that have a lower level of protection than statutory designations, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Local Sites, excluding those within the North York Moors National Park, currently receive protection from certain types of inappropriate development through our Local Development Framework.

  • 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.

Writing in the early Loftus mine, the internal railway system and part of 17th century, William Camden states “Upon the shore, the zig zag connection to the main line. 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. Ord 1846) Skinningrove Station above the village on the Loftus to Middlesbrough line. It opened in 1875 and closed in 1958.
