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.

Sociophonetic Variation, Orientation and Topic in County Durham
Sociophonetic Variation, Orientation and Topic in County Durham Thomas Patrick Devlin PhD University of York Language and Linguistic Science September 2014 Abstract This thesis presents a sociophonetic study of four villages in County Durham which have not previously been explored in sociolinguistic literature. As well as examining socially- conditioned phonological variation across the villages, the study analyses the linguistic relationship between the research site and two larger localities with their own urban varieties of English, which are situated at either side of the research area: the city of Sunderland to the north and the Teesside conurbation to the south. The study examines phonological variability in the linguistic production of a socially-homogeneous group of thirty-two speakers, split equally across the four villages and stratified by emically-defined age groups. More than 6500 tokens of the MOUTH, FACE, GOAT and START variables (following Wells’ 1982 method of classifying sets of vowels) are analysed from recorded sociolinguistic interviews with informants. The findings are compared to previous sociolinguistic investigations of other varieties of North East English in terms of the levelling of variants local to the area. The established methodological comparison of read speech and conversational styles is complemented by detailed investigation of the conversational topic in which the production occurs, and its effect on phonological variation. An Identity Questionnaire (pioneered by Llamas 2001) explores identity construction in County Durham and how this is shaped by local speech patterns. This is achieved by surveying speakers’ individual attitudes and perceptions about their local area and accents. The correlation of this language ideology data and speakers’ actual linguistic performance allows the study to assess the role orientation plays in variant usage.

Wear Valley Local Plan Saved Policies
Foreword Background The 2004 planning reform introduced a new planning policy framework across the country. Furthermore Local Government reorganisation has resulted in the amalgamation of the 7 former Durham District and Borough Authorities with Durham County Council. As a result the new unitary council, Durham County Council as sole Local Planning Authority for County Durham, is preparing a new plan for the district known as the Local Development Framework. This new plan will transitionally replace the existing 9 adopted Local Plans. The new planning system made provision for the existing Local Plans to be ‘saved’ for an initial three year period. This is to ensure that they remained a material consideration for the determination of planning applications and to safeguard against a policy vacuum. This initial three year period ended on 27th September 2007. As the former Council’s of County Durham were still in the early stages of preparing the new plan for their respective areas an application was made directly to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to ‘save’ the Local Plan policies still considered necessary for a further three years. Each former Council’s application was successful as a result directions were served on each Council confirming all policies to be saved and extending their life for a further three years. These policies can therefore continue to be used in the determination of planning applications. The remaining policies expired on 27 th September 2007; they were effectively deleted on this date. To make the application to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, the Councils had to follow a strict protocol.
