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(repair) 62041 passed with a down freight WD in steam 90445, 90014, 90230* others 90459 and 90593(both repair) 90011 withdrawn June 1966 behind coal stage Q6 in steam and at coal stage 63397, 63394, in roundhouse 63407 Straight shed 63412, 63440 , and stored outside 63368 Withdrawn in June 1966 and behind coal stage 63349, 63410, 63446, 63454 Ditto and tenderless in roundhouse 63421, 63435 4MT in steam 43056*, 43100* others 43057 43015 Mainline diesels D5170, D5169 At the time it was difficult to distinguish between withdrawn, stored and cannibalised locomotives— some I noted as under repair were being used as a provider of spare parts. We then moved on to Sunderland shed In the roundhouse were 7 class J27 :- In steam 65833, 65885, 65865 others 65853, 65835, 65817, 65872 1 I noted 65873 as under repair in the straight shed but 7 months later it was on York shed in transit to Hull for scrapping. Q6 ….in steam 63458, 63346, 63405, 63395 Under repair in the straight shed 63445, 63437 and in steam 63395 and 63436 though the latter was marked not to be moved. K1 on shed 62021(in steam ), 62007, 62008, 62026. Our final shed was Tyne Dock :- Q6 63413 in steam, 63453, 63360, 63379, 63366 and under repair 63381, 63459, 63455 9F 92060/61/62/63/65 92097/98 -latter in steam So in total we had noted J27….8 Q6 27 WD 6 K1 9 9F 7 4MT 4 We enjoyed pie and chips at Newcastle station and then returned home via the A1, Sutton Bank and Malton at 9.30pm. Another grand day out! West Hartlepool 63394 West Hartlepool 62004 West Hartlepool 63440 Sunderland 65833 2 Sunderland 65885 Tyne Dock 63360 All photographs by Allen Don’t you just Love it Don’t you just love it when exhibiting a layout and someone points out an anomaly on the layout such as the gravestones in the church yard are not orientated East to West or the cows on your 1930’s layout were not introduced in to this country until the 1950’s. Heaven forbid if you build a wall in the Yorkshire Dales in the style of the Cotswolds but this one in my estimation beats them all. A layout featured in the July edition of Railway Modeller depicted a WW2 scene on the Isle of Wight. The back scene featured HMS Hood sailing by. A reader pointed out that as the layout had cameos with US troops this was a scenario that could not have happened because HMS Hood sunk in May 1941 and the USA did not enter the war until December 1941. Don’t you just love it! Serial Supplies I mentioned in the last issue that getting materials and track for the new layout project was proving difficult and I was having to search the lesser known traders to in order to obtain the goods. I have managed to pick up a point here and there and things like point motors from certain suppliers. Some traders have been very good and dispatched my order upon reciept. One supplier seemed to be delaying rather too long. I know times are strange and because of work restrictions etc things will be delayed. Anyway as my orders started to drift in I couldn’t make progress because I needed some things that hadn’t arrived. I decided to email the the trader in question and was told to be patient and my order would be sent as soon as it was ready. Next day I received an email to say my order was ready to be dispatched. The following day I received another email saying they could not supply the full number of point motors as they were waiting for a delivery. They asked if Iwould like the order sending as it stood or would I like to wait until they had sufficient point motors in stock. Don’t these people realise that serial layout builders need their fix! I asked them to send the order straight away and cancel the outstanding point motors. I managed to track down some point motors from yet another supplier. Ironically they arrived before my original order. There needs to be more understanding of the needs of serial layout builders. If they are not busy building layouts people like wifes find them things to do! 3 The Footballers The current football season has climaxed with teams celebrating and other commiserating and what a strange atmosphere in which to watch games. I thought it would be interesting to look at the footballer locomotives and the clubs that they were named after. The LNER B17’s was known as the Sandringham class or footballers. They were a 4-6-0 engines designed by Nigel Gresley for hauling passenger services in East Anglia on the former GER mainlines. By 1926 the former GER B12 locomotives were no longer able to cope with the heavier passenger train services between London and Norwich and other routes from London to places like Ipswich and Cambridge. The locomotives were built between 1928 and 1937. A total of 73 were built. Many of them were named after country houses and estates but 25 of them were named after football clubs covering the LNER region. All the locomotives had been withdrawn by 1960 and none of them survived into preservation. Some of the clubs were presented with the nameplates after the locomotives had been cut up. There were some changes during the lifetime of the locomotives. Locomotive 61670 was originally named Manchester City but became Tottenham Hotspur and later City of London. 61571 was subsequently renamed Tottenham Hotspur. The original Norwich City and the original Tottenham Hotspur were both streamlined in the manner of the A4’s. (Mainly for effect rather than performance) Norwich City was renamed the East Anglian and Tottenham Hotspur became City of London. Rendlesham Hall then became Norwich City and Thoresby Park became Tottenham Hotspur. Here is the full list of footballers in the order that they were originally built. All of them constructed 1936-37. Arsenal, Sheffield United, Grimsby Town, Derby County, Darlington, Huddersfield Town, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Leeds United, Doncaster Rovers, Newcastle United, Norwich City, Hull City, Sheffield 4 Wednesday, Manchester United, Everton, Liverpool, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Bradford City, Bradford (Park Avenue) Barnsley, Manchester City, West Ham United. It is interesting to compare the stature of the clubs now to their positions in the year their namesake Locomotive was built. Here is a list of the divisions the clubs were in when the locomotives were named followed by in brackets where they finished the season. Remember Div 1 = Premier league Div 2 = Championship Div 3 South or Div 3 North = League 1 or League 2 Arsenal 1 (P), Sheffield United 2 (P), Grimsby Town 1 (L2), Derby County 1 (C), Darlington Div 3 North ( NL North) -After folding and being reformed. Huddersfield Town 1 (C), Sunderland L1 (1) 1936 Champions. Middlesbrough 1 (1), Leeds United 1 (C), Doncaster Rovers 2(L1), Newcastle United 2 (P), Norwich City 2 (P), Hull City 2 (C) Hull finished bottom that year too. Sheffield Wednesday 1 (C), Manchester United 1 (P), Everton 1 (P), Liverpool 1 (P), Leicester City 2 (P), Nottingham Forest 2 (C), Bradford City 2 (L2), Bradford (PA) 2 (NL North ), Barnsley 2 (C), Manchester City 1 (P), West Ham United 2 (P). It would be interesting to know how the clubs were chosen. All of them were in Division 1 or Division 2 except Darlington. I read one account as to how lowly Darlington, came to be so honoured. The story goes that employees at the Darlington works where some of the locomotives were built saw the locomotives with the names or more prominent clubs being out shopped and took it upon themselves to outshop a locomotive and name it after their own team It just steamed out of the shop and nobody noticed! Some of the named locomotives had very tenuous links to the LNER. Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Derby County only qualified by virtue of being on the former Great Central Line which was allocated to the LNER at the grouping.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015
    East Riding of Yo rkshire Council Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015 Consultation Draft "Reducing flood risk, sustaining communities, enabling growth" EAST RIDING OF YORKS HIRE LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CONSULTATION DRAFT MARCH 2015 ©2015. East Riding of Yorkshire Council. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior permission of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council 3 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introducing the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the East Riding of Yorkshire The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (Local FRM Strategy) sets out what the Council intends to do, working with organisations, businesses and communities, to manage the risk of flooding in the East Riding of Yorkshire over the next 10-15 years. It is of interest to all who live and work in the area, as managing the risk of flooding requires action by everyone. It is of interest to organisations that have specific responsibilities for managing flood risk such as the Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards and the Highways Agency, as they are legally required to act in a manner that is consistent with it in exercising these flood risk duties, and must also have regard to it in carrying out other work they do that may affect flood risk. Water companies are also legally required to have regard to the Local FRM Strategy in relation to their flood risk management functions. Putting flood risk into context As recent times have shown, many parts of the East Riding are susceptible to flooding, and the impacts can be wide ranging and severe.

  • Hull and East Riding Newsletter
    Keeping you informed Hull and East Riding - managing the risk of flooding June 2015 What have we been doing? Albert Dock: During the tidal surge in December 2013, the Humber Estuary overtopped the dock side at Albert Dock in Hull, flooding 300 properties. We secured funding to improve the existing defences at the dock through the government’s asset recovery programme. Hull City Council also secured funding from the Local Enterprise Partnership. Construction of a permanent wall started in November 2014 to replace the temporary defence installed after the flooding. The area was first checked to see it was clear of World War 2 ordnance and then H pile foundations were installed. Piling installation is complete and approximately 500m of the 950m length of this flood defence wall has now been built. Construction work is well underway on two other walls (including a precast concrete section). Work on the final wall section and the sealing up of Dunston Culvert (a redundant Yorkshire Water drain) will start soon. We anticipate the flood protection will be in place by July 2015 though finishing (eg: fencing and footpath reinstatement) will be completed shortly after. Main defence wall under construction Recently constructed precast concrete defence wall Humber frontages: As part of our longer term work to ensure that properties along the Humber continue to be protected, we are considering how to improve the Humber frontage from Paull village in the east, through Hull, to near the Humber Bridge in the west. We are working very closely with both Kingston upon Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council in relation to the project.

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.

  • Humber – Keeping You Informed December 2015
    Humber – keeping you informed December 2015 This newsletter provides an update on work taking place and/or planned to help reduce the risk of flooding to people and properties around the Humber estuary. The Humber estuary The Humber estuary is an hugely important area. Around 400,000 people live around the estuary alongside major industry such as power stations, refineries and our countries’ largest port complex. It is a key area for growth and development as well as being hugely environmentally significant. The estuary has both a UK and European designation under the Birds and Habitats Directive – this means the estuary’s environment is protected by law. Over 115,000 hectares of land are at risk of flooding around the Humber. We work closely with communities and partners to help reduce this risk. Over £86 million is being spent over the next six years to reduce the risk of flooding across the estuary. Within this newsletter we aim to keep you up-to-date on how this funding is being spent. The map below shows areas at risk of flooding from rivers and sea around the Humber estuary. This map is reproduced by permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of The Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationary Office. Crown copyright. All rights reserved. Environment Agency 100026380, 2015. Unauthorised reproduction infringes Crown copyright and may lead to prosecution or civil proceedings. Humber spending commitment In the autumn 2015 statement the government confirmed that flood defence spending would be protected - this includes the £86 million investment on the Humber. We recognise the scale of investment needed on the Humber, and the £86 million allocated for the next 6 years forms only part of our long term plan for the estuary.
