Contact: Ian Moodie Tel: 024 7685 8650 December 2013 tidal surge floods – Agricultural impact The tidal surge experience between Thursday 5 and Saturday 7 December 2013 was the most serious in over 60 years. An area of low pressure caused a large tidal surge, with gale force northerly winds and large waves coincided with spring tides peaking. The shape of the coasts around the North Sea acts as a funnel, squeezing the water into an ever narrowing gap. This combination of factors resulted in significant coastal flooding to Rhyl and Denbigshire in North Wales and isolated parts of Northwest England from midday on Thursday before the storm surge began to track down the East Coast of England from Thursday afternoon and through the night into Friday. Higher than average tides continued into Saturday although largely these only affected areas where defences had previously been damaged from the day before. In places waters were higher than those seen during the devastating floods of January 1953, waters in Hull rose by 5.8metres and at the Thames Barrier it was the highest tide seen since its completion in 1984. The Environment Agency has reported that the Figure 1: (Environment Agency) Severe Flood Warnings (Red) and Flood Warnings (Orange) around England and Wales as surge resulted in the flooding of around 1,400 at 17.30 on Thursday 5 December 2013. properties, with 18,000 people evacuated and 64 severe flood warnings issued. Official estimates have not yet been provided for the area of agricultural land flooded. However, anecdotally it is estimated that in excess of 2,000ha of farmland has been flooded, over 1,000ha of which were around the Humber Estuary and River Ouse. Estimates have not been made for the Norfolk coast, Broadlands or lower Trent Valley. NFU Mutual has said that it is dealing with more than 300 claims for storm damage to property. For those farmers affected the focus is now on draining any land still underwater, clearing rubbish debris and silt from fields and drainage channels, and recovering the condition of land as well as repairs and recovery of buildings, homes and machinery. Freshwater reservoirs may also have become contaminated by salt water. At the end of the briefing (page 5) are some notes on recovering agricultural land following salt water flooding. Information about SPS following flooding events is available for members here (you need to log in).

Breaches aside, a common concern from farmers affected are where the surge has overtopped defences resulting in scouring and cracking of the landward face, particularly for stretches where vegetation on coastal embankments is not managed, or is less frequently mowed or grazed. There are calls for urgent repairs to be undertaken by the Environment Agency before any further winter storms and the next very high tides which are scheduled at the beginning of January 2014.

BBC Farming Today (12.12.2013) included a feature on the damages as a result of the storm surge. Reporting from Yokefleet, Yorkshire they spoke with arable farmer Paul Martinson and James Copeland, NFU North East Regional Environment Adviser. Listen again here (available until Thursday 19 December 2013). How has the flooding affected your farm business? The NFU would like to hear from members affected by flooding as a result of the storm surge in order to get an estimate of the impact on the agricultural sector. If you were affected and would like to share any photographs or information about the flooding please drop our Flood Risk Adviser Ian Moodie an email at [email protected]. The following summarises the impact to agricultural in each NFU region, it does not try to repeat information available elsewhere regarding damage to people and property. The briefing is gathered from accounts from members, regional advisers and the media. North East Approximately 1,000 hectares of agricultural land have flooded around the Humber. Along the North Bank of the Humber pumping operations by the Ouse & Humber Internal Drainage Board, Environment Agency and East Riding of Yorkshire Council were continuing to remove standing water from roads and fields in the Blacktoft, Faxfleet and Yokefleet area (~650 ha flooded) into this week. Land here flooded to a depth of around 3ft, water travelling over half a mile inland and taking 3 to 4 days to be drained/pumped Figure 3: Flooded farmland (~650ha) at Yokefleet, North Bank off. of the Humber (James Copeland) On the South Bank of the Humber near Reedness a length of the coastal defence bank which is 9 inches lower than surrounding defences overtopped spilling through the village and onto agricultural land (~250ha). This has since drained, but the rate of the flood has caused scouring damage to drainage channels in the area. On the Holderness Peninsula approximately 400ha had flooded near Welwick, Sunk Island, Weeton, and Skeffling. Elsewhere there was flooding to land around Goole between the Rivers Ouse and Aire (~50ha) and at Boothferry Bridge (~50ha).

Image: Yokefleet Video: Blacktoft, Faxfleet and Yokefleet from the air (Humberside Police) Image Welwick East Midlands The South Bank of the Humber was perhaps worst affected with the village of South Ferriby and surrounding land, including a poultry farm, almost entirely submerged. Around 700,000 broiler chickens were drowned by the surge waters on the Thursday night. The extent of the flooding here is as yet unquantified but certainly runs into hundreds of hectares. As with other parts along the south bank these areas flooded rapidly but also drained away relatively quickly too. The surge has left widespread damage to the South Humber bank defences where cracks, gaps and slumping has occurred. Floodwaters overtopped banks along the River Trent in and around the Isle of Axholme including the villages of Susworth, Goxhill Barrow, Butterwick, and Keadby. On the Lincolnshire coast Jubilee Bank north of Boston broke in two places and the reclaimed outer marsh flooded approximately 200ha from the South as far as Sea Lane at Friskney. Flood water will remain until the gaps are sealed and the water is pumped out. Jubilee Bank is a privately owned flood bank and the outer line of defence, whilst the primary defence sits approximately half a kilometre inland. South of Boston a breach in sea defences resulted in a substantial pumping operation by Black Sluice IDB where close to 200 million litres of sea water was pumped back into the Haven over two days at Wyberton Marsh Pumping Station which serves a mixture of agricultural land, Wyberton village and South Boston. The Environment Agency are holding drop in sessions for the public to discuss the flooding in Boston: Wednesday 11 December Boston Market (11am-3pm) Thursday 12 December Boston Crafts Day, near St Botolph’s church (10am-3pm) Friday 13 December Asda, Lister Street (11am-3pm) North Lincolnshire Council has created a £100,000 relief fund to help people across North Lincolnshire who have been affected by the severe flooding. Image: North Lincolnshire from the air (Humberside Police) Video: South Ferriby, North Lincolnshire from the air (Humberside Police) Image: Poultry units at South Ferriby East Anglia In Norfolk there are likely to be some cliff top arable land losses, but no estimates yet. At Burnham Deepdale in North Norfolk breaches in flood bank has resulted in flooding to around 200ha of farmland. The land flooded to around 4ft in depth and water has remained on land for several days after the event. The Environment Agency is asking people to avoid walking on flood defences which have footpath closure orders on them due to damage by the recent storm surge. In a number of coastal locations in Norfolk the flood banks have been weakened or damaged by the tide making them unstable and unsafe to walk on. The main locations of concern at the moment are: Brancaster, Burnham Deepdale, Blakeney, Cley Beach Road. Alternative routes are being signposted to walkers. The voice of British farming Although every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, neither the NFU nor the author can accept liability for errors and or omissions. © NFU Policy Services/NFU Briefing/December 2013 Tidal Surge Page 4 NFU Briefing Around 7 breaches in Suffolk have resulted in flooding to low-mid hundreds of hectares of agricultural land. Farmers are concerned about contamination of fresh water irrigation reservoirs with salt water. Repairs are being undertaken by EA and others to coastal defences. Cliff collapses at Benacre and elsewhere in north Suffolk have resulted in possibly as much as 20 acres of lost arable land.

  • U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015
    East Riding of Yo rkshire Council Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015 Consultation Draft "Reducing flood risk, sustaining communities, enabling growth" EAST RIDING OF YORKS HIRE LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CONSULTATION DRAFT MARCH 2015 ©2015. East Riding of Yorkshire Council. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior permission of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council 3 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introducing the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the East Riding of Yorkshire The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (Local FRM Strategy) sets out what the Council intends to do, working with organisations, businesses and communities, to manage the risk of flooding in the East Riding of Yorkshire over the next 10-15 years. It is of interest to all who live and work in the area, as managing the risk of flooding requires action by everyone. It is of interest to organisations that have specific responsibilities for managing flood risk such as the Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards and the Highways Agency, as they are legally required to act in a manner that is consistent with it in exercising these flood risk duties, and must also have regard to it in carrying out other work they do that may affect flood risk. Water companies are also legally required to have regard to the Local FRM Strategy in relation to their flood risk management functions. Putting flood risk into context As recent times have shown, many parts of the East Riding are susceptible to flooding, and the impacts can be wide ranging and severe.

    THORNE MOORS VERTEBRATES REPORT 2013 Compiled by Martin Limbert, Bryan P. Wainwright and Steve Hiner 2014 CONTENTS Introduction Reptiles 2009–12 (with additions and corrections 2007–08) Working paper on deer List of observers and acknowledgements Species monitoring The establishment of Black-necked Grebe Recording in 2013 by Martin Limbert Birds Marsh Harriers 1990–2003 by Martin Limbert Mammals Black-headed Gull ringing: first instalment of results by Martin Limbert Reptiles A review of fish in Swinefleet Warping Drain Amphibians by Martin Limbert Fish New or additional literature sources Additions and corrections 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) INTRODUCTION 1. Scope of the report. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 is an unusually long report, not least because it continues the process of making Thorne Moors vertebrates recording as up-to-date as possible. Thus the Report contains elements beyond the routine 2013 components. Also, notice is given of a working paper on the deer of Thorne Moors, published separately in May 2014. Ever since 2012, an attempt has been made to catch up with backlogs of records and monitoring. This overall process began in the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2012, and continues in the current Report. The last Report to include reptile data was that for 2008. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 catches up by detailing additional reptile records for 2007–08 and all reptile records 2009–12. The recorder is Steve Hiner. The present Report otherwise contains accounts of birds, mammals, herptiles and fish in 2013. Also, available additions and corrections to the Reports for 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) are listed in full.

  • Locating the Site of the Battle of Brunanburh (937) V4 by and © Adrian C Grant (1St Version Posted 7Th February 2019, This Revision Posted 5Th August 2019)
    Locating the site of the Battle of Brunanburh (937) v4 by and © Adrian C Grant (1st version posted 7th February 2019, this revision posted 5th August 2019) Abstract In this paper I argue that the Battle of Brunanburh (937) took place on the old Roman Road between Brough-on-Humber (Petuaria/Civitas Parisiorum) and South Cave in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This updated version has been triggered both by comments gratefully received from readers of previous drafts and because two alternative candidate sites not wholly inconsistent with my original proposal have come to my attention since version 3 was uploaded. So, whereas the original paper dismissed other proposals mainly by disregarding them, this revision now extends the argument to examine the claims of as many rival sites as I can identify, showing why they are to be discounted. The basis of the positive argument for Brough lies in (a) understanding the military objectives (b) the evidence of the Annals and (c) the relevance of Beverley Minster. It is demonstrated that the place-name evidence is consistent with this site. It is suggested that the huge proportion of church dedications in the area to "All Saints" can be seen as further circumstantial evidence. Preface Following up my researches into the 12 famous battles of "king" Arthur, published in late 2017 ("Arthur: Legend, Logic & Evidence"), my attention turned to the process and timescale of the Anglo-Saxon take over of post-Roman Britain. Amongst other things this caused me to consider the Siege of Lindisfarne and the battles of Catterick, Daegsastan and Caer Greu.
