  • Dobson(1886 - 1956) Dobson Surname
    ELIZABETH E DOBSON(1886 - 1956) DOBSON SURNAME This most interesting surname, of medieval English origin, is a patronymic, of the medieval person- al name "Dobbe", which is itself a pet form of Robert, from "Hrodebert", a Germanic personal name composed of the elements "hrod", renown and "berht", bright, famous. Robert, though found in England before the Norman Conquest, became more widespread among all classes of society afterwards. Dobb itself is a popular surname in the North of England and the Midlands. Other patronymic names from this source include Dobbin(g)s, Dob(b)inson, Dobbison and Dob- bieson. Dobson itself is also found fairly widespread in County Leitrim, Ireland, probably as a result of the influx of early English settlers into the country. One Roger Dobbessone appeared in the "En- forcement of the Statutes of Labourers, 1349 - 1359", in Cheshire (circa 1356). William Dobson (1610 - 1646), was introduced to Charles 1 by Vandyck and was one of the earliest English subject and portrait painters of eminence. John Dobson (1787 - 1865) an architect, designed new streets and public buildings in Newcastle-on-Tyne. He is reputed to be a pioneer of the modern Gothic revival. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry Dobbesone, which was dated 1327, in the "Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire", during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. The Dobson name is recorded 13,187 times in the 1881 census. By the time of 1998 electoral roll there had been a increase in the number to 15,554.

  • Site Assessment River Esk – Ruswarp North Yorkshire 23/08/16
    Site assessment River Esk – Ruswarp North Yorkshire 23/08/16 Undertaken by Gareth Pedley - Conservation Officer 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit to two sites on the River Esk, undertaken by Gareth Pedley of the Wild Trout Trust (WTT). The visit was requested by Rex Parry of the River Esk Fisheries Association (REFA), to provide an independent perspective on proposed alterations to the river channel associated with the hydropower installation at Ruswarp Weir (NZ 88650 08943) in Whitby and at another large weir further upstream, near Danby (NZ 70716 08305). Also present during the Ruswarp part of the visit were Stephen Larkin and Mike Ford (Esk Energy Yorkshire Ltd.) and Pat O’Brien (Environment Agency Fisheries Technical Specialist). Normal convention is applied with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) while looking downstream. For simplicity references to upstream and downstream are often abbreviated to u/s and d/s, respectively. 2.0 Background The North Yorkshire River Esk is a relatively small river (c.45 km long) that originates on the North Yorkshire Moors and flows in an easterly direction to discharge into the North Sea at Whitby. The river has a long history as a migratory salmonid fishery, supporting stocks of salmon (Salmo salar) and sea trout (Salmo trutta), amongst other species including a small population of grayling (Thymallus thymallus). In recent decades, catches of migratory fish have fallen, leading to concerns about their populations, although fish do continue to be caught by anglers each year.

  • A Maritime History of the Port of Whitby, 1700-1914
    A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 - Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London STEPHANIE KAREN JONES UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1982 2 A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 ABSTRACT This study attempts to contribute to the history of merchant shipping in a manner suggested by Ralph Davis, that 'the writing of substantial histories of the ports' was a neglected, but important, part of the subject of British maritime history. Rspects of the shipping industry of the port of Whitby fall into three broad categories: the ships of Whitby, built there and owned there; the trades in which these vessels were employed; and the port itself, its harbour facilities and maritime community. The origins of Whitby shipbuilding are seen in the context of the rise to prominence of the ports of the North East coast, and an attempt is made to quantify the shipping owned at Whitby before the beginning of statutory registration of vessels in 1786. A consideration of the decline of the building and owning of sailing ships at Whitby is followed by an analysis of the rise of steamshipping at the port. The nature of investment in shipping at Whitby is compared with features of shipowning at other English ports. An introductory survey of the employ- ment of Whitby-owned vessels, both sail and steam, precedes a study of Whitby ships in the coal trade, illustrated with examples of voyage accounts of Whitby colliers. The Northern Whale Fishery offered further opportunities for profit, and may be contrasted with the inshore and off - shore fishery from Whitby itself.

  • York Potash Project
    North York Moors National Park Authority York Potash Project Review of Alternative Sites Assessment May 2015 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited 3 © Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited Executive summary The Alternative Sites Assessment (ASA) has been produced by Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners (NLP) with contributions from several consultancies that form part of the York Potash Limited (YPL) team. An initial draft was produced in May 2014 and submitted to the North York Moors National Park Authority (NYMNMP) for comment. A preliminary review of the draft ASA was undertaken by Amec Foster Wheeler on behalf of the NYMNPA and written feedback provided to NLP in June 2014. Further limited consultation took place between the parties prior to the submission of the final ASA with the planning application on 30 September 2014. The final ASA was not updated by the formal submission of Supplementary Environmental Information (SEI) on 16 February 2015. However, a conference call was held between YPL, the NYMNPA and their respective key consultants on 17 March 2015 to discuss geology related matters and further geological information was provided with regard to a historical borehole (E3) three days later. Amec Foster Wheeler’s ASA review deals with the key issues in a sequential way, starting with the planning and environmental constraints, before detailed consideration is given to the specific requirements of what is termed the ‘Major Development Test’, i.e. ‘the scope for and cost of developing elsewhere outside the designated area’, as required by the second bullet point of paragraph 116 of the NPPF. With respect to our review of the planning and environmental constraints, we have determined that we do not agree with the findings of RHDHV and NLP.
