  • Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries
    Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document I give here page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment
    THE DURHAM LANDSCAPE The Durham Landscape Physical influences Human influences The modern landscape Perceptions of the landscape Designated landscapes 7 THE DURHAM LANDSCAPE PHYSICAL INFLUENCES Physical influences The Durham landscape is heavily influenced by the character of its underlying rocks, by the effects of erosion and deposition in the last glacial period, and by the soils that have developed on the post-glacial terrain under the influence of the climatic conditions that have prevailed since then. Geology The geology of the county is made up of gently folded Carboniferous rocks dipping towards the east where they are overlain by younger Permian rocks. In the west, thinly bedded sandstones, mudstones and limestones of the Carboniferous Limestone series (Dinantian period) outcrop in the upper dales and are overlain by similar rocks of the Millstone Grit series (Namurian period), which form most of the upland fells. The alternating strata of harder and softer rocks give a stepped profile to many dale sides and distinctive flat-topped summits to the higher fells. Older Ordovician rocks, largely made up of pale grey mudstones or slates showing a degree of metamorphism, occur in a small inlier in upper Teesdale. The rocks of the Millstone Grit series are overlain in the north by the Lower and Middle Coal Measures (Westphalian period) which fall from the upland fringes to the lowlands of the Wear and dip under the Permian Limestone in the east. The soft and thinly bedded strata of coal, sandstone and mudstone have been eroded to form gently sloping valley sides where occasional steeper bluffs mark thicker beds of harder sandstones.

  • Norbeck to Clow Beck at Croft
    Norbeck to Clow Beck at Croft In Barningham we all know the Norbeck; it’s the dog-leg bridge below Low Lane on the way to Greta Bridge. It is our beck, and it takes away our effluent from the treatment works below Barningham House farm. But it becomes Hutton Beck as it flows through Hutton Magna and has many different names on its course to the Tees. I recently came across a reference to Aldebrough Beck, “rising near Eppleby “ and thought, “No! that is our Norbeck and it rises on Barningham Moor.” Left : Osmaril Gill on a bright Autumn morning Searching the OS map I can locate 13 springs on Barningham Moor that feed our Norbeck; there will be many more springs feeding it on its way to the Tees. Osmaril has clear connections with Neolithic habitations and is very atmosheric. Right: Croft Bridge over the Tees Our Norbeck ends up as the Clow Beck and reaches the Tees some half-mile above Croft Bridge. This bridge carried the old Great North Road from Yorkshire into Durham until the advent of the motor age. Geology, Climate, Landform, Landscape and People The geology of the area developed over millions of years and played an important role in developing the landscape we are familiar with; but the changing climate over the countless centuries have also left their mark. This is especially true of the ice ages, especially the last one; mountains were shaved down, river courses changed and whole areas filled up with boulder clay and other alluvium. But man has also had a significant role in creating the place where we live.
