  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • Tees Valley Giants
    5TEES VALLEY GIANTS TEES VALLEY GIANTS A series of five world-class art installations matched only in scale by the ambition of Tees Valley Regeneration in its instigation of the project. Temenos is the first iteration of the five sculptures that will combine as the world’s largest series of public art - the Tees Valley Giants. The epically scaled installations created by Turner Prize winning sculptor Anish Kapoor and pioneering structural designer Cecil Balmond, will soon grace the Tees Valley, with the first of these, Temenos, located at Middlehaven, Middlesbrough. Over the next decade four more structures will be located within each of the other four Tees Valley boroughs: Stockton, Hartlepool, Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland. Although each work is individually designed and specific to its location, the structures will be thematically related, visually linking the Tees Valley and highlighting the ambition for social, cultural and economic regeneration of the Tees Valley as a whole. Massive in impact, scale and world status, Tees Valley Giants is symbolic of the aspiration and ongoing commitment of Tees Valley Regeneration to enhance the way in which the Tees Valley is viewed and experienced. TEMENOS Temenos Greek, meaning ‘land cut off and assigned as sanctuary or holy area.’ Temenos is a bold contemporary artwork which also recalls the heritage of Middlesbrough and the Tees Valley. Its construction will call on the traditional twin skills of the region: precision engineering and heavy industry. Standing at a height of nearly 50 metres and spanning almost 120 metres in length, Temenos will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Middlesbrough’s landmark Transporter Bridge.

The overall project focuses on microbusinesses, defined as those which employ fewer than 10 staff (full-time equivalents), in the rural areas of the counties of Durham, Northumberland and Tees Valley. The project’s broad aims are to ascertain the nature and needs of rural microbusinesses and to understand their existing relationships with business support agencies and where these relationships could be usefully developed. Other reports produced so far by the project include a review of business support services under the title Providing Advice and Information in Support of Rural Microbusinesses and an interim review of the survey of microbusinesses Rural Microbusinesses in the North of England: A Survey . This report has been prepared by Marian Raley and Andrew Moxey of the Centre for Rural Economy (CRE) at the University of Newcastle. Other members of the microbusiness team at CRE include Matthew Gorton, Philip Lowe, Jeremy Phillipson and Hilary Talbot. CRE would like to thank Mike Coombes and Simon Raybould of CURDS at the University of Newcastle for providing the Urbanisation Index scores underpinning the survey, and UK BORDERS at the University of Edinburgh for providing the digital map data allowing the mapping of Urbanisation Scores onto postcodes and business addresses.

Cheetham, F.S.A. r I ^HE document here printed was till lately in the old A Town's chest, at the parish church of St. Cuthbert, North Meols (Churchtown, Southport), but with other township papers was in February, 1931, transferred to the custody of the Southport Corporation, and is now at the Southport Town Hall. It is written on the first page of a sheet of paper folded into two leaves of 12 by 8 inches. The outer edge of the first leaf is slightly broken, and some of the words are therefore imperfect, but they are easily read and are here restored in italics. The document, as will be seen, is addressed to the Inhabitants of the Parish of North Meols, and conveys to them the decision of five Deputy Lieutenants of the County of Lancaster in the matter of a dispute, or differ­ ence, between the Townships of North Meols and Birk- dale (which together constituted the Parish cf North Meols) touching their respective shares in the payment of the Militia Tax levied on the parish by the County. For County purposes the parish was the unit of local government, but in respect to its own affairs each town­ ship was governed by its Vestry and nominated its own officers. The two North Meols Townships differed con­ siderably in extent and population, the area of North Meols being 8,467 acres, and that of Birkdale 2,214 acres. 1 The population in 1716 can only be conjectured, 1 V.C.H.
