The woodlands are typically small linear blocks (<3 ha) with trees mostly less than 40 years of age. Suitable natural cavity sites are thus very limited, hence the attractiveness of bat boxes as a conservation measure to enhance these woodland habitats. Monitoring in 2006-2007 had shown that in some areas (seven woodland sites) over 40% of bat boxes were being used by nesting passerine birds.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries
    Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document I give here page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text.

Eight years, 55 issues and half a million words later, I’m still astonished how much we’ve discovered to tell about the past of one tiny village and its neighbours. Among the hundreds of stories we’ve printed are many about long-forgotten people who made headlines during their lifetime. Their existence would have remained buried in the past but for the arrival of the internet: the digitalisation of parish records, censuses, and above all local newspapers has made it wonderfully possible to re-discover them and put together the jigsaw of their lives and times. This file offers a small selection of those I’ve found and written about in the Archive. They include the rich and the righteous, the poor and the persecuted, doers of good deeds and convicted criminals, the unbelievably fortunate and the tragically ill-fated, the daring, disgraceful, the doomed and the damned.

  • Norbeck to Clow Beck at Croft
    Norbeck to Clow Beck at Croft In Barningham we all know the Norbeck; it’s the dog-leg bridge below Low Lane on the way to Greta Bridge. It is our beck, and it takes away our effluent from the treatment works below Barningham House farm. But it becomes Hutton Beck as it flows through Hutton Magna and has many different names on its course to the Tees. I recently came across a reference to Aldebrough Beck, “rising near Eppleby “ and thought, “No! that is our Norbeck and it rises on Barningham Moor.” Left : Osmaril Gill on a bright Autumn morning Searching the OS map I can locate 13 springs on Barningham Moor that feed our Norbeck; there will be many more springs feeding it on its way to the Tees. Osmaril has clear connections with Neolithic habitations and is very atmosheric. Right: Croft Bridge over the Tees Our Norbeck ends up as the Clow Beck and reaches the Tees some half-mile above Croft Bridge. This bridge carried the old Great North Road from Yorkshire into Durham until the advent of the motor age. Geology, Climate, Landform, Landscape and People The geology of the area developed over millions of years and played an important role in developing the landscape we are familiar with; but the changing climate over the countless centuries have also left their mark. This is especially true of the ice ages, especially the last one; mountains were shaved down, river courses changed and whole areas filled up with boulder clay and other alluvium. But man has also had a significant role in creating the place where we live.
