    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.

HISTORY OF PEAT EXPLOITATION 2.1 Unrefined peat fuel from Thorne Waste In 1626, during the reign of Charles I, an agreement was drawn up between the Crown and a Dutch entrepreneur Cornelius Vermyuden, to undertake the drainage of Hatfield Chase. The chase and its purlieus stretched from the River Aire in the north to Bawtry and north Nottinghamshire in the south, and from near Doncaster in the west to the rivers Don, Torne and Idle which form the boundary with Lincolnshire. The Isle of Axholme lies to the east, extending as far as the River Trent. The main causes of flooding were the meandering, sluggish courses of the Rivers Don, Torne and Idle, which could not cope with heavy rains in their western catchments. In addition, the River Trent, the main outlet for the three rivers, and the Don itself, were strongly tidal. To the north lay the tidal rivers Ouse and Aire and the smaller River Went.

  • North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List
    North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List Description: The collection includes a minority of architectural plans, along with drawings of structures such as bridges and viaducts, maps of permanent way routes and alterations, signalling plans and diagrams, with a variety of miscellaneous components for structures and infrastructure. The collection comprises approximately 3500 plans, diagrams and maps on paper, wax linen and linen- backed cartridge paper. System of arrangement: The original arrangement of the drawings has been lost and they derive from a wide variety of applications within the architectural and civil engineering genres. The drawings have therefore been listed in the rolls in which they were found, and every effort made to record the variety of numbering systems used at different times by the railway company departments involved in creating and storing the drawings, representative of the different types of drawing. There is no one single and consistent numbering arrangement. Physical Characteristics: The drawings survive in a variety of formats and sizes – there are wax linen tracings, colour washed linenbacked original office drawings, drawings on cartridge paper, blueprints and other copying processes. Administrative/Biographical History: The North Eastern Railway Company was formed in 1854 as an amalgamation of the York & North Midland Railway, the Leeds Northern Railway and the York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway. It continued to absorb other companies in the north eastern region of England over subsequent decades, including the Stockton & Darlington Railway, South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway and the West Hartlepool Railway. In 1923 the various railway companies of the United Kingdom were grouped into four large amalgamations.

The second phase 1923 to 1933, Sentinel Designs. . Clayton Wagon Works Vehicles Staffing of LMS Steam Railcars and Push/pull sets . Routes served by LMS Steam Rail Motors . Acknowledgments 2 Introduction The first steam driven railcar was introduced in the UK in 1903 on the London and South Western Railway, although the concept was not entirely new as two similar type vehicles had appeared much earlier. The first was built by William Bridges at Fairfield Works, Bow in 1848 and was a six wheeled carriage with a vertical boiler and used on the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The second was built in 1849 for the Eastern Counties railway had eight wheels and a locomotive type boiler. In 1869 The Great Southern and Western Railway in Ireland experimented with a double bogie steam rail motor coach built by George England at the Hatcham Ironworks, New Cross. This vehicle was followed by two classes of combined steam locomotive and coach designed by Alexander McDonnell and built in the Inchicore Works in Dublin. The first was in 1883 of the 0-4-4 type and the second an 0-6-4-type in 1880. Both were small locomotives with well tanks with the coach mounted behind the bunker and fitted with buffers front and rear. The first phase 1903 to 1922. There were two reasons for the 1903 revival the first being the constant need for railways to cut costs, particularly on the rural branch lines and secondly to combat the ever growing tramway networks in the cities and towns.

  • Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2008
    Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2008 VERTEBRATES RECORDING 1. Parameters of conservation. Thorne Moors lies within the Humberhead Levels Natural Area, and the peatland and contiguous wetlands comprise the Thorne Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest. The moorland forms a component of the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve, managed by Natural England and (in the North Lincolnshire section q.v.) the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. The NNR has international designations to recognize its conservation importance. 2. Recording area. For vertebrates documentation, the Thorne Moors recording area is deliberately interpreted somewhat loosely. It comprises the whole of the peatland, contiguous unfarmed areas, the Thorne Colliery curtilage, and peripheral farmland and drains. The limit to the north is defined as the line of the old Axholme Joint Railway. Otherwise, a field width or so is a practical rule-of-thumb. However, in this report all the land belonging to Top House and Priory Farms is included, extending to the edge of Snaith & Cowick Moor. 3. Place-names. In broad terms, the name Thorne Moors is used to embrace both the peatland and the other areas under study. The surviving peat is divided by parish limits, the parish names being Thorne Waste, Snaith & Cowick Moor, Rawcliffe Moor, Goole Moor and Crowle Moor. Thorne Waste (except now the Yorkshire Triangle) lies in South Yorkshire, and the other parishes lie in East Yorkshire, except Crowle Moor and the Yorkshire Triangle, which are in North Lincolnshire. That part of Goole Moor situated north of Rawcliffe Moor is designated as 'Northern Goole Moor' for recording purposes. Within the parish framework, numerous place-names are employed for vertebrates recording.

  • North Eastern Memoirs by Allen Ferguson
    Brid Lines Summer 2020 No 7 North Eastern Memoirs by Allen Ferguson Living in Bridlington a few hundred yards from the railway station, it was inevitable I would be interested in steam locos from an early age… and many of these were of North Eastern Railway origin. Aged 8 in June 1954 I would record loco numbers in my school exercise book diary, much to the exasperation of my teacher who had a class of over 40 to contend with. I noted locos from NER class A8, B16, D20, G5, and N8 and so began my lifelong love of North Eastern engines especially B16s which the other spotters derided as they were so numerous in Bridlington in the 1950s…as many as 18 on a summer Saturday. In the following years I made many trips to Durham and Northumberland to see other NE classes and one Saturday 18th June 1966 was special….I had the morning off from Barclays Bank in Bridlington and, with my late friend Robert Johnson, we left in his car at 9.00am and our route was Scarborough, Whitby and then a brief stop at Port Mulgrave to photograph the former iron ore tunnel to the Grinkle mines. We followed the coast through Redcar and Middlesbrough to West Hartlepool shed. Despite steam in the NE only having 14 months left, there was plenty of interest. Steam Locos on shed were:- * straight shed K1 in steam 62045, 62001*, 62004 and in roundhouse 62048 (repair) 62041 passed with a down freight WD in steam 90445, 90014, 90230* others 90459 and 90593(both repair) 90011 withdrawn June 1966 behind coal stage Q6 in steam and at coal stage 63397, 63394, in roundhouse 63407 Straight shed 63412, 63440 , and stored outside 63368 Withdrawn in June 1966 and behind coal stage 63349, 63410, 63446, 63454 Ditto and tenderless in roundhouse 63421, 63435 4MT in steam 43056*, 43100* others 43057 43015 Mainline diesels D5170, D5169 At the time it was difficult to distinguish between withdrawn, stored and cannibalised locomotives— some I noted as under repair were being used as a provider of spare parts.

  • Rail Documents List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents in the Rail Archive Collection www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here June 2020 issue 186 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it’s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent, private or joint railway company which operated (obtained an act of parliament or wayleaves and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over a 1,000 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: • secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution • reduce the insurance premium • continue to add to the collection • add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970’s onwards • provide a public access facility • promote the collection • ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical • ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives It is proposed that the archive and funding is eventually transferred under agreement to The Bodleian Library in Oxford as part of the John Johnson Collection. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted.
