ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE by K. A. MACMAHON, Senior Staff Tutor in Local History, The University of Hull © East YQrk.;hiT~ Local History Society '96' ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE A major purpose of this survey is to discuss the ongms, evolution and eventual decline of the turnpike trusts in eastern Yorkshire. The turnpike trust was essentially an ad hoc device to ensure the conservation, construction and repair of regionaIly important sections of public highway and its activities were cornple­ menrary and ancillary to the recognised contemporary methods of road maintenance which were based on the parish as the adminis­ trative unit. As a necessary introduction to this theme, therefore, this essay will review, with appropriate local and regional illustration, certain major features ofroad history from medieval times onwards, and against this background will then proceed to consider the history of the trusts in East Yorkshire and the roads they controlled. Based substantially on extant record material, notice will be taken of various aspects of administration and finance and of the problems ofthe trusts after c. 1840 when evidence oftheir decline and inevit­ able extinction was beginning to be apparent. .. * * * Like the Romans two thousand years ago, we ofthe twentieth century tend to regard a road primarily as a continuous strip ofwel1 prepared surface designed for the easy and speedy movement ofman and his transport vehicles.

  • Woodmansey Community Emergency Plan Level 1
    Woodmansey Parish Council - Community Emergency Plan Level 1 WOODMANSEY PARISH COUNCIL Community Emergency Plan Approved by the Parish Council – 16th February 2015 !1 Emergencies like road accidents, fires and medical emergencies happen somewhere in the country almost every minute of every day and are dealt with quickly and efficiently by the emergency services. The Local Authority and other responding organisations have emergency plans in place for larger events that stretch the resources of the emergency services and affect large numbers of people or the environment. Introduction Notification HOW WILL THE PARISH COUNCIL BE NOTIFIED OF AN EMERGENCY? A Parish Council that will be affected by a declared emergency will always be notified. The type of notification will depend on the type of emergency and is outlined below. Elected Members will also be notified in the same way. • In the event of a localised emergency that impacts on one or a small number of towns or parishes, the Clerk will usually be telephoned by the Head of Service who is co-ordinating East Riding Council’s response to the emergency. The Head of Service is known as the Control Centre Manager when they are in this co-ordination role. • In the event of a wide area emergency that impacts on many wards across a region the initial notification is likely to come from an email sent from alertparish, the Emergency Planning team or from the Emergency Control Centre. There is often an information vacuum at the start of an emergency, with responding organisations trying to ascertain exactly what has happened and what the consequences are.

  • U DX50 Manorial Court Rolls for Beverley Water Towns 1649-[1953] and Miscellaneous Deeds Re Thornton Family
    Hull History Centre: Manorial records for Beverley Water Towns and misc title deeds U DX50 Manorial Court Rolls for Beverley Water Towns 1649-[1953] and miscellaneous deeds re Thornton Family Historical Background: The manor of Beverley included the ‘water towns’ of Sicey, Sneerholmes, Stork, Thearne, Tickton, Weel, and Woodmansey and the Manorial Documents Register says that the Manor was also referred to as Beverley Aquatica (Manor) In 1542 it was exchanged by the Archbishop with the Crown and held by Robert Dudley (1561-1566). Some elements were granted to the town and after Beverley was incorporated in 1573 it was considered to be the owner of the manor. In 1572 it was leased to Michael Warton and held by the family until it was sold to Sir Michael Warton in 1628 and remained in the family until 1726 where it passed through family-lines to the Pelham family and as Baron Yarborough sold the estate in the early 19th century. Courts were evidently held separately for each of the water towns while they were in the hands of the Crown. The Water Towns court met in a building at Hall Garth from the 17th to the late 19th century with some rolls headed 'the manor of Beverley Hall Garth Water Towns'. Custodial history: Donated by Mayor J.A. Iveson, 4 Aug 1953 Description: Court Roll of the Manor of Beverley Water Towns (1649-1764 with gaps) and title deeds relating to the Thornton family (1716-1735) Arrangement: U DX50/1-7 Court Rolls for the Manor of Beverley Water Towns, 1649-1764 U DX50/8-15 Miscellaneous title deeds relating to the Thornton

  • Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead Page 1 of 53
    Hull History Centre: Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead U DAS Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith 14th cent.-1983 and Family of Winestead Accession number: 1977/07; 2005/16; 2012/27 Biographical Background: Rupert Alexander Alec-Smith was born at Elloughton, near Kingston upon Hull, in 1913. He was the grandson of Alexander Smith, a founding partner of Horsley Smith and Company, a timber importing firm whose small collection of papers dating from 1864 to 1968 is also held at the Hull University Archives (U DHS; see separate entry). Rupert Alec-Smith's parents were Alexander Alec-Smith and Adelaide Horsley. Rupert Alec-Smith was a man with an abiding interest in local and family history and he spent his life fighting to preserve both. In 1936, the demolition of the Georgian Red Hall in Winestead (originally built by the Hildyard family) left a profound impression on him and he founded the Georgian Society for East Yorkshire in 1937 (papers for Lord Derwent and the society are at U DAS/24/13; see also U DX99). He served with the Green Howards during the war and was in Cyprus and the Middle East making the rank of lieutenant colonel by 1944. On leave during the war he rescued fittings from the Georgian residences of Hull's old High Street as this was almost entirely destroyed by German bombs. After the war the Council showed no desire to restore what was left and Alec-Smith continued to salvage what he could from buildings as they were demolished (The Georgian Society for East Yorkshire).
