ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE by K. A. MACMAHON, Senior Staff Tutor in Local History, The University of Hull © East YQrk.;hiT~ Local History Society '96' ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE A major purpose of this survey is to discuss the ongms, evolution and eventual decline of the turnpike trusts in eastern Yorkshire. The turnpike trust was essentially an ad hoc device to ensure the conservation, construction and repair of regionaIly important sections of public highway and its activities were cornple­ menrary and ancillary to the recognised contemporary methods of road maintenance which were based on the parish as the adminis­ trative unit. As a necessary introduction to this theme, therefore, this essay will review, with appropriate local and regional illustration, certain major features ofroad history from medieval times onwards, and against this background will then proceed to consider the history of the trusts in East Yorkshire and the roads they controlled. Based substantially on extant record material, notice will be taken of various aspects of administration and finance and of the problems ofthe trusts after c. 1840 when evidence oftheir decline and inevit­ able extinction was beginning to be apparent. .. * * * Like the Romans two thousand years ago, we ofthe twentieth century tend to regard a road primarily as a continuous strip ofwel1 prepared surface designed for the easy and speedy movement ofman and his transport vehicles.

  • On Reclaiming Land from Seas and Estuaries.” ’ by JAMESOLDHAM, M
    No. 1,055.--“ On Reclaiming Land from Seas and Estuaries.” ’ By JAMESOLDHAM, M. Inst. C.E. THE practical operation towhich the Author intends moreespecially todraw attention, and in which he was professionally engaged, is that of the reclamation of a portion of Sunk Island, on the River Humber. But before describing the details of the works, he will make some general observations on thatriver and its tributaries ; and on the large amount of matter held in sus$ension, as well as thedegradation going on, not onlyto the foreshores of the Humber, but also along the whole of the Holderness coast, from Bridlington to the Spurn. The Humber, from the confluence of the rivers Trent and Ouse to the sea, is 40 miles in length. For about the first 10 miles from the sea it has an average width of nearly 6 miles, the remaining portion being upwards of 2 miles in average width. The total areais equalto 80,000 acres. (Plate 18, Fig. 1.) With some triflingexceptions, the shores of the Humber consist of alluvialformation, and the neighbouring districts of richagricultural land, generally speaking, tolerably well drained, having an averagefall of tide, below the surface of the land, of about 17 feet. The foreshore, between high and low water marks, varies from ten chains to twenty chains in width, but in some localities, as for instance, between Sunk Island and the Spurn, it is considerably more. In some parts, extensive tracts of ‘ outstrays ’ existbeyond the banks, which are only submerged at average spring tides. These level tracts are covered with marine grasses, which are exceedin$y valuable for young horses and sheep in the summer season.
