To the Rt Hon Michael Foot, MP, Secretaryof Statefor Employment Introduction 1 At about 4.53 pm on Saturday1st June 1974the Flixborough Worksof Nypro (UK) Limited (Nypro) were virtually demolishedby an explosionof warlike dimensions.Of thoseworking on the site at the time, 28 were killed and 36 otherssuffered injuries. If the explosionhad occurredon an ordinary working day,many morepeople would havebeen on the site, and the numberof casualties would havebeen much greater. Outside the Worksinjuries and damagewere widespreadbut no-one was killed. Fifty-threepeople were recordedas casualties by the casualty bureauwhich was setup by the police; hundreds moresuffered relatively minor injurieswhich werenot recorded.Property damage extended overa wide area, anda preliminary surveyshowed that 1,821houses and 167 shops and factories hadsuffered to a greateror lesser degree. 2 On 27th June1974 you appointedus underSection 84of the FactoriesAct 1961to hold a formal investigationto establishthe causesand circumstancesof the disaster andto point out any lessons which we might considerwere immediatelyto be learned therefrom. 3 As requiredby Sub-Section3 of Section 84of the Act we held our investigationin open Court. The hearingsoccupied a totalof 70days. They openedat the Wortley Hotel in Scunthorpeon 9th September 1974.After five days, mostly devotedto the takingof eye-witness evidence,the hearings were adjourned to London. In all we heardevidence from 173 witnesses. 4 Prior to our appointment,investigations and an interim report had alreadybeen madeby Her Majesty's Factory Inspectorate(HMFI), and investigationswere beingpursued by many other persons andbodies. Betweenour appointment and the openingof the investigationat Scunthorpe the following stepswere taken: (a)we held a preliminary meetingfor the purposesof giving directions as to representation and procedure; (b) the taskof assembling theevidence for presentationat the hearing was undertakenby the Treasury Solicitor;(c) Messrs Cremer and Warner, Consulting Chemical Engineersof 140 BuckinghamPalace Road, LondonSWlW 9SQ, were appointedat our requestas technical advisers to the Court and instructedto seekand provideto the Treasury Solicitor evidenceas to the causesof the disaster; (d) thework of recovering, identifyingand examining wreck- age,and of conductingrelevant tests,was undertaken by the Safety inMines ResearchEstablishment at Sheffield(SMRE) to whom we wish to pay a specialtribute; (e) further investigationswere pursued by other persons andbodies. 5 During the courseof our investigationsa large numberof scientificreports were submittedto us and circulatedto all parties.A completelist of suchreports appearsin AppendixVI. Many of such reports althoughof greatvalue to the ascertainmentof the causeof the disasterhave no wider applica- tion. Others containscientific information of a more general kindwhich, we believe, wouldbe of value to publish. We havemarked the paperswhich fall into this categorywith an asterisk.

  • Enclosure & Agricultural Improvement in North-West Lincolnshire from Circa 1600 to 1850
    ENCLOSURE & AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT IN NORTH-WEST LINCOLNSHIRE FROM CIRCA 1600 TO 1850. Thomas M. Smith, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 i Abstract This study sets out to establish the link between enclosure and agricultural improvement in a group of parishes in north-west Lindsey, Lincolnshire between the sixteenth century and the mid-nineteenth century. In particular it emphasises the continuity of enclosure history through time, rather than concentrating only on the period of parliamentary enclosure as has often been the case in the past, and on links to agricultural improvement which include land reclamation, draining and warping. It shows that a simple explanation of enclosure in terms of driving up rents and allowing individual farmers to take their own farming decisions, fails to take into account the particular local circumstances of this area. Using a combination of enclosure documents and related material such as glebe terriers, land tax assessments, census materials, the 1801 agricultural returns and estate papers it sets out to show how agricultural improvement transformed both the landscape and the farming techniques in this area. In this process it covers a range of related topics including landownership, population, and the socio-economic structure of the villages of north-west Lindsey. It shows clearly that in this area enclosure is as much as anything associated with land drainage, and with improvements brought about by warping. These processes were interwoven, and separating enclosure out as a single movement underestimates the complexity of the farming arrangements required to ensure the most productive farming in this area.

  • Rural Settlement, Lifestyles and Social Change in the Later First Millennium AD: Anglo-Saxon Flixborough in Its Wider Context Ii
    4 RURAL SETTLEMENT, LIFESTYLES RURAL SETTLEMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN THE LATER FIRST MILLENNIUM AD Anglo-Saxon Flixborough in its Wider Context RURAL SETTLEMENT, Between 1989 and 1991, excavations adjacent to the abandoned medieval settlement of North Conesby, in the parish of Flixborough, North Lincolnshire, unearthed remains of an Anglo-Saxon settlement LIFESTYLES AND SOCIAL associated with one of the largest collections of artefacts and animal bones yet found on such a site. The Anglo-Saxon settlement was situated on a belt of windblown sand, overlooking the floodplain of the River Trent, eight kilometres south of the Humber estuary. Analysis has demonstrated that the excavated CHANGE part of the settlement was occupied, or used for settlement-related activity, throughout what have been termed the ‘Mid’ and ‘Late’ Anglo-Saxon periods. In an unprecedented occupation sequence from an , LIFESTYLES AND SOCIAL CHANGE Anglo-Saxon rural settlement, six main periods of occupation have been identified, with additional sub- phases, dating from the seventh to the early eleventh centuries; with a further period of activity, between IN THE LATER FIRST MILLENNIUM AD the twelfth and fifteenth centuries AD. Anglo-Saxon Flixborough in its Wider Context The publication of the remains of the Anglo-Saxon settlement is achieved in four volumes, and will be supported by an extensive archive on the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) for the United Kingdom. The excavation, post-excavation analysis and publication phases of the project have been funded principally by English Heritage, and the project has been run through the Humberside Archaeology Unit and its successor, the Humber Archaeology Partnership.

  • Flixborough: the Disaster and Its Aftermath
    CHAPTER 42 FLIXBOROUGH: THE DISASTER AND ITS AFTERMATH J. E. S. Venart Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada If we do not understand the past we cannot make proper sense of the present or the future. 42.1 BACKGROUND On June 1, 1974, a fire and massive explosion occurred at the Nypro (UK) Ltd. works near Flixborough, North Lincolnshire (Fig. 42.1). An accidental release of cyclohexane at 0.96 MPa and between 150 to 155ЊC resulted in an unconfined vapor cloud explosion (UVCE) that caused 28 fatalities, the destruction of the plant, severe injury to inhabitants, and sig- FIGURE 42.1 Map of the Humber River and surroundings. The plant location is in- dicated by the arrow. 42.1 42.2 CHAPTER FORTY-TWO nificant damage to many buildings in the surrounding countryside (Secretary of State for Employment, 1975). The plant was located on the east bank of the River Trent, a tributary of the Humber, about 50 km west of the fishing port of Grimsby. On the west bank of the river, opposite the NYPRO site, was the village of Amcotts; the village of Flixborough was on a small rise to the East; the town of Scunthorpe was southeast of the location. All suffered major distress though no loss of life. The catastrophe was initiated in section 25A of the process stream (Fig. 42.2) during start-up while the cyclohexane feedstock, inerted with nitrogen, was under hot recycle through the reactor train, R1 to R6. Only about one-third of the 70 kg/s full production flow was recirculating at the time.
