  • Maurice Collin from North Yorkshire.Pages
    ! Maurice Collin from Skeeby near Richmond in North Yorkshire Born in Skeeby on the 14th February 1931, Maurice lived there all of his life, his family were agricultural contractors working all around the area. Maurice met Ros, his future wife, at a Young Farmers’ dance and they were married in 1954, Ros originating from Bainbridge in Wensleydale. Apart from the agricultural work, Maurice ran a poultry business and he was the local mole-catcher for many years, undertaking this countryside role as a challenge that he met with great dedication, a s h e d i d a n y challenge that he encountered. Ros would stand in for Maurice with the mole-catching when his work took him further afield and time was in short supply, their services o f t e n b e i n g exchanged for hay for the Shorthorn bulls that were bred with a great sense of a c h i e v e m e n t . C o n t r i b u t i n g t o village life as a colourful character, Maurice would be out working the sheep in all weathers, very much part of the village scene for a n y o n e p a s s i n g through. With a s t r o n g b e l i e f i n playing an active role in the local c o m m u n i t y , h e served over thirty years on the local Parish Council.

  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013
    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years. Date and Rainfall Description sources 11 Sep 1673 Spate carried away dwelling house at Brompton-on-Swale. Burnsell Bridge on the Wharfe was washed away. North Riding Selseth Bridge in the Parish of Ranbaldkirke became ruinous by reason of the late great storm. Quarter Sessions (NRQS) ?
