Runswick Bay Coastal Protection Scheme Runswick Bay Coastal Protection Scheme Project Overview A new coastal defence scheme is proposed at Runswick Bay, North Yorkshire to reduce the risk of erosion to the existing concrete and masonry sea walls to the east and north east of the village. The scheme involves surface repairs to the existing sea wall and the placement of rock armour at the toe of the seawall. Existing Condition • Undermining through wave action scouring material below the concrete wall • Damage to the existing concrete works • Significant erosion at connections to the cliff Strategic and Legislative Framework The Runswick Bay Coastal Strategy was developed during 2013/14, and was approved in May 2015, to identify the preferred strategic approach for managing flood and coastal erosion risk to the coastal frontage extending from Thorndale Shaft (to the north) and Sandsend Ness, North Yorkshire, a length of approximately 7 kilometres. It includes the communities of Runswick Bay Village and the smaller settlements of Port Mulgrave and Kettleness. The length of coastline covered by the Strategy is included within the River Tyne to Flamborough Head Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2). Runswick Bay Coastal Protection Scheme Environmental Constraints • Conservation Area • Listed Buildings • Intertidal habitat and foreshore • Landscape and visual aspects • Disturbance to over-wintering birds • Traffic and construction operations Environmental Enhancement Opportunities Existing rockpools The Rock Armour placed will be protected, along the sea wall will be rocks colonised by textured with holes & marine life will be scratches to encourage placed within the colonisation by marine new rock armour. life.

But I have endeavoured to give my own impressions of much of the beautiful coast-line, and also some idea of the character of the moors and dales of the north-east portion of the county. I have described the Dale Country in a companion volume to this, entitled 'Yorkshire Dales and Fells.' GORDON HOME. EPSOM, 1907.

  • Ammonite Fields Forever: from the Jurassic Coast to Collecting on the Beaches of North Yorkshire, England
    Ammonite Fields Forever: From the Jurassic Coast to collecting on the beaches of North Yorkshire, England by Rhonda Gates Once upon a time, just at the brink of an unfathomable and devastating year of death, anxiety, isolation and trauma caused by Covid19, four friends set aside their LRB hats for new hats: they became “Yorkies” and set out to collect fossils on the UK’s North Yorkshire Jurassic coastline generally and inclusively referred to as Whitby. This is the retelling of that adventure, “Ammonite Fields Forever: From the Jurassic Coast to collecting on the beaches of North Yorkshire, England” with Marie Angkuw, Deborah Lovely, Andrew Young and me, Rhonda Gates. ___ The dreaming of this trip began on the flight back from Lyme Regis in early March of 2019. The actual planning for this adventure began a few weeks later in April, once the 2020 tide tables were published. We then spent the next 10 months locking in airfare, our airbnb, researching and purchasing gear, and reading every book and online site we could find. Friends in Lyme Regis had mentioned that it would be very strenuous, with at least one site requiring a rope to get down to and back up from the beach. However, our friends had seen us in action collecting at Lyme Regis and Charmouth, so they assured us we could handle it if we prepared for it. So the next 10 months were also spent “in Whitby fossil-hunting training mode” which required building up upper body strength and embracing every set of stairs and hill in our path.

June 1933, J .E . BEST COPY AVAILABLE TEXT IN ORIGINAL IS CLOSETO THE EDGE OF THE PAGE BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality ABSTRACT. The Upper Lias of Yorkshire as represented to the north and west of the Peak Fault, is a phase of aeposition of argillaceous sediments unaer varying physical conditions. The Grey Shales are shallow water deposits which pass gradually but rapidly into the finely laminated, bituminous shales of the Jet Rock, which were laid down under 'Black Sea conditions', but in water much s shallower than the Black Sea. As the basin was gradually filled up during Bituminous Shale and Hard Shale times, its floor rose into the zone of aerated water, when the poorly bedded Alum Shales were dpposited. Thes sedimentational conditions were interrupted by the deposition of an argillaceous limestone at the end of Jet Rock-times and by several beds and rows of masses of siderite mudstone, at varying horizons during subsequent zone-moments. The best 'hard' jet is found only in the Jet Rock, and is entirely composed of collapsed and compressed wood structures, soaked in humic substances resulting from the decomposition of the original wood. Annual rings, medullary rays, tracheids, ' bordered pits, stem bases and bark are all recognised in the jet. Some specimens of jet are silicified along a central zone, and here the wood structure is well preserved in an uncrushed state.

    Dean R. Lomax Fossils of the Fossils of the Whitby coast: A photographic guide A Whitby coast: Fossils of the Whitby coast A photographic guide Dean R. Lomax The small coastal town of Whitby is located in North Yorkshire, England. It has been associated with fossils for hundreds of years. From the common ammonites to the spectacular marine reptiles, a variety of fossils await discovery. This book will help you to identify, understand and learn about the fossils encountered while fossil hunting along this stretch of coastline, bringing prehistoric Whitby back to life. It is illustrated in colour throughout with many photographs of fossil specimens held in museum and private collections, in addition to detailed reconstructions of what some of the extinct organisms may have looked like in life. As well as the more common species, there are also sections on remarkable finds, such as giant plesiosaurs, marine crocodilians and even pterosaurs. The book provides information on access to the sites, how to identify true fossils from pseudo fossils and even explains the best way of extracting and preparing fossils that may be encountered. This guide will be of use to both the experienced fossil collector and the absolute beginner. Take a step back in time at Whitby Siri Scientific Press and see what animals once thrived here during the Jurassic Period.
