RAILWAY & CANAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY Brian Slater Memorial Walk RICCALL to BISHOPTHORPE THURSDAY 9TH APRIL 2020 The Solar System Greenway, created by staff at York University in 1999, follows part of the former East Coast Main Line between Barlby and Chaloners Whin. The line was built by the North Eastern Railway in 1871 as part of the Doncaster (Joan Croft) to York improvement, more direct than the earlier circuitous route and itself replaced by the Selby Diversion (Temple Hirst to Colton) in 1983, to avoid potential subsidence caused by mining the Selby Coalfield. The three stations on this section were Riccall which closed in 1958, Escrick (site of Brian Slater’s memorial) and Naburn which both closed in 1953. T. E. Harrison was engineer for the line and for Naburn Swing Bridge, which crosses the River Ouse. At the time of its construction, the river was navigable for commercial shipping such as sailing barges, and the railway was required by law to allow such trade to continue. In the early days, the swing bridge would remain open for river traffic and only closed to allow a train to pass, with a manned control cabin on top of the bridge to operate it. In very hot weather the metal swing section could expand and jam the bridge shut; to prevent this, the operator in the control cabin would have to hose down the arch with river water to cool it. In World War II preparations were made to destroy the bridge in the event of invasion, and we shall see evidence of the Home Guard’s presence there. The cast section between the two vertical bridge supports in the river shows traces of a repair to damage caused when a laden barge collided with the bridge in the 1950s, having broken loose from its tug in a flood. Boilers that powered the bridge were kept at full steam 24 hours a day until 1954, when it became clear that the bridge no longer needed to swing. Parliamentary authority was then obtained to close it and it was permanently fixed in 1967, with the control cabin on top of the bridge being removed. We will take a path down to river level to view the mechanism by which the bridge was swung. Meet leader Jane Ellis (tel 07787-311913) at the entrance to York Station for a 09:50 prompt departure, to catch the no 415 Selby bus from stop TG on Clifford Street, at 10:10. 7 miles with pub lunch. Return to York Station by bus from Bishopthorpe, or if preferred you can take a bus back to York from the lunch pub. We will be phoning food orders to the pub at the start of the walk, so do choose your meal in advance from the menu: https://blacksmithsarmsnaburn.com/menu .

U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13Th Cent
Hull History Centre: Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13th cent. - 1906 Biographical Background: The Palmes family traced its pedigree back to Manfred Palmes who was living in 1140 and had lands in Taunton, Somerset. It is a family unique in being able to trace an unbroken inheritance from son to son from the twelfth century to 1974, with only one exception in the eighteenth century. In 1226 lands at Naburn in East Yorkshire were assigned to William Palmes by Richard de Watervill, the brother of Maud de Watervill, William Palmes's wife. The demesne lordship of Naburn then descended in the Palmes family to the twentieth century (Baines, Old Naburn, p. 45; Allison, History of York East Riding, iii, p. 77; Foster, Pedigrees, iii). Naburn is about three miles south of York and the Palmes family built a manor house on the east bank of the River Ouse. The house was first mentioned in 1345 and had eight hearths in 1672. A drawing of circa 1720 indicates a two storey house, three bays in length with attic windows in high gables. In other words, the family was comfortably-wealthy, although it was not until the early sixteenth century that any of the male members of the family held public office. William Palmes, who was living in the middle of the fifteenth century, married Ellen Rocliffe, whose father was one of the barons of the exchequer. She provided him with three male heirs and a daughter before taking the veil during his lifetime, in 1479.

Uk Coal Resources and New Exploitation Technologies
CAN NEW TECHNOLOGIES BE USED TO EXPLOIT THE COAL RESOURCES IN THE YORKSHIRE-NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COALFIELD? S Holloway1, N S Jones1, D P Creedy2 and K Garner2 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG 2Wardell Armstrong, Lancaster Building High Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire SP1 1PQ ABSTRACT Coal mining in the Yorkshire-Nottinghamshire Coalfield has been one of the region's most important industries over the last 150 years. The number of working mines peaked at over 400 in the late 19th and early part of the 20th Century. However, many have closed over the last few years and now there are only 10 large working mines still open. Three of these, Ricall/Whitemoor, Stillingfleet and Wistow, in the Selby complex, are due to close in April 2004. Although there are significant untouched coal resources east of the current deep mines, the prospects for opening new mines in the Yorkshire-Nottinghamshire coalfield appear very poor. Consequently, there has been a revival of interest in the potential for releasing some of the energy value of the remaining coal resources via alternative technologies such as coalbed methane production and underground coal gasification. Methane is already being drained from the few remaining deep mines and, in some cases, utilised as fuel for boilers or for electricity generation. The production of methane from abandoned mines is also taking place, but recent low electricity and gas prices have adversely affected its economics. There has not been any exploratory drilling for coalbed methane in the Yorkshire-Nottinghamshire coalfield, perhaps because the average seam methane content is somewhat lower than in some of the major coalfields on the west side of the country.

Extractive Zone
South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Doncaster Character Zone Descriptions Extractive Zone Summary of Dominant Character Figure 1: View over Holme Hall limestone quarry near Stainton. © SYAS 2006 The ‘Extractive’ zone contains all quarrying and mining operations still operative in 2003. To the east of the district, between Hatfield and Bawtry, lie concentrations of sand and gravel pits, exploiting the glacial deposits that overlie the Bunter Sandstone. Elsewhere, the colliery sites of Thorne (disused, but at the time of the survey still featuring headgear), Hatfield Main and Rossington Main all exploit the extensive concealed coalfield deposits below the Bunter Sandstone and Magnesian Limestone strata. Further west, the Magnesian Limestone supports a number of large-scale limestone quarries. The character areas making up this zone are often single or small groups of quarries. They have been treated as a separate zone due to the intrusive nature of their relationship to the surrounding landscape. Generally these landscapes date to the mid 20 th century or later (although some have evolved from smaller, now illegible extractive sites) and are heavily industrial in character. Access by the general public is typically low, except where former gravel and clay pits have been allowed to flood and converted to amenity uses. 1 South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Doncaster Character Zone Descriptions Relationship to Adjacent Character Zones This zone always is found within or at the edge of enclosed agricultural landscapes, although the coal mines of Rossington, Thorne and Hatfield are also intrinsically related to adjacent ‘Planned Industrial Settlements’. Most of the borough overlies important mineral reserves and as a result extractive landscapes can be found as character islands within ‘Surveyed Enclosure’, ‘Agglomerated Enclosure’ and ‘Wetland Enclosure’ zones.

ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.

Naburn and Acaster Malbis
Community Profile: Naburn and Acaster Malbis This flood cell covers both Naburn and Acaster Malbis on the banks of the River Ouse, from Naburn Bridge down to Naburn Lock. Naburn Ings is located on the left bank between the River Ouse and York Road as well as Naburn Weir located downstream on Naburn and Acaster Mablis. There is one flood warning area covering both Naburn and Acaster Malbis (122FWF724). There are 3 flood wardens within this area who report on the levels of the River Ouse. There is a draft emergency plan in place for Naburn. Howden Dyke is a non-main river as such it is designated ordinary watercourse and is managed by the Lead Local Flood Authority, City of York Council. We estimate that around 90 residential properties are currently at risk of flooding from the River Ouse in Acaster Malbis and 120 residential properties at risk in Naburn. This may rise to 140 in Acaster Malbis and 170 in Naburn due to climate change. In 2005, the Ouse Strategy was published for the River Ouse. The strategy critically assessed several options for reducing flood risk in York. The strategy suggested that the best option to mitigate flood risk within York was to raised defences and/or construct new barriers. We are currently working with City of York Council and Naburn Parish Council to develop a plan for Naburn. This includes the development of an urban drainage model which will allow us understand further how flooding occurs in the village. What work may be possible? What is technically feasible? Property level resilience Install a flood storage area on Howden Dyke Pumping station resilience Review outfall of Howden Dyke Reprofiling of the road Alterations to Naburn Lock and Weir Install new defences within Naburn village .
