1 NEIMME-Bud-20-P16 NEIMME-Bud-20 [blank page] [illegible] [?] Use as needed: Insert pictures of maps/plans Can turn page landscape if needed NEIMME-Bud-20-p1 In 1792, I was introduced to the Lord Bishop of Durham’s Colliery Business by the following Letter. Mr Buddle, Though I have not had the pleasure of knowing you personally yet the honourable testimony borne to your Character by Messrs Pearson & Mowbray, and others on whose judgment I can rely, has induced me to recommend you to the Bishop of Durham as a fit person to be occasionally employed in viewing his Collieries and making the necessary inquiries into the value and other circumstances respecting the same and as that of Lanchester, now in Lease to the Earl of Sefton, lies in your Neighbourhood, I beg leave to trouble you to inspect the same and to obtain every information you can of the present annual profits accruing therefrom and when you have done so I shall be glad to see you at this place, or to be favoured with your Sentiments upon the subject; in the mean time, I am, Mr Buddle, Your very obed. hble. Servt. Willm. Emm Auckland Castle Octor. 14th 1792 In Consequence of the above Request I viewed the Huttons Seam Workings in the Bogg and Machine Pits at Lanchester Common, where, although the Bords were driven with the utmost Regularity, at the Width of 4 yards, yet, as in the Bogg Pit the Winnings were only 9 Yards, and in the Machine Pit only 8 ditto, I objected to that Mode of Working, on Account of the great Loss of Mine that would follow, as none of the Pillars, so left, could now be wrought to any Extent. This Objection produced a View, on the Part of Mr Smythe the Sub Lessor (see Pa. [left blank]) and in Consequence of Writing to Mr Simon Smith, Mr Smythe’s Viewer, I received the following Answer. NEIMME-Bud-20-p2 Sir I receiv’d your Letter requesting me to inform you, when I would be at Newcastle to give you a reason for the present mode of working Pontoppike Colliery, at which time you also wish’d to see Messrs. Smith, & Ramsey. I not having a day fixt with them, makes it not in my power to say what day, but shall as soon as Possible fix a day with them, and shall imediately give you a time, when I shall be glad to meet you, to give you every information, respecting Pontoppike Colliery. I am, Sir Witton Gilbert Your most Hum. Servt. Jany 12th 1792 [sic] Simon Smith 1 Having communicated to George Pearson Esqr. a short State of the Business, &c. in a few Days after I recd. the following letter from William Emm Esqr; NEIMME-Bud-20-p3 Mr Buddle I have long expected the pleasure of seeing or hearing from you in consequence of the promise I reced from you in your favour of the 25th of Octor. last. It is true you have wrote to Mr Pearson but the opinion you have given to that Gentlemen makes it the more necessary for me to know your further sentiments respecting the Lanchester Colliery a business without which the Bishop of Durham cannot possibly treat for a renewal of the Lease which Lord Sefton’s Agent has recently applied for, and therefore I must entreat you to be as expeditious as possible in making you report by which alone the Bishop can decide how to act. Auckland Castle I am, Feb. 7th 1793 Sir, Your very obedt. hble. Servt. Willm. Emm On Feb. [left blank] 1793 I had a Meeting at Newcastle with Mr Simon Smith, Mr John Smith and Messrs James and John Ramsay, when the Consequence of the present Mode of Working was fully enquired into, and deemed to be injurious to the See of Durham: Mr John Grey, Agent for the Proprietors of the Colliery, stated their Reason for Working, according to this Mode, which was, chiefly, that by Working the Huttons Seam Pillars, the Hard Coal Seam, lying 35 Fathoms above, and whole, would be totally crushed by the Breaking of the Strata of Stone, &c to the Surface: Now, as I had wrought the Hard Coal Seam in the adjoining Colliery under the same Predicament, I was fully prepared to overturn that Objection, and the Viewers coinciding with me in opinion, recommended the Mode of Working to be altered so soon as the Situation of these Pits would admit of the same.: --- Mr Gray promised it should be done accordingly, and the Viewers promised to draw up their Report in Writing as soon as convenient. Mr Simon Smith promised to send me an Acct. of the Years Leadings ending Dec: 31: 1792, which came in the followg. Letter.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

I came across the typescript for this history among my father's papers shortly after he died in 1991. It appears to have been written initially around 1978 and then rewritten and rearranged several times before being abandoned. As a result, I had quite a confusing collection of papers. Some chapters existed in several quite different versions without any indication as to which was the latest one. There were also apparent gaps where a page didn't logically follow from any other extant page or didn't have an obvious successor. I have attempted to arrange the material in a coherent way and to make good the gaps as best I could to bring the work to a form I think my father would have approved of. I've also updated the material to some extent to reflect some of the changes that have occurred since 1978. Brian Pears, Low Fell, 2010. High Spen and District. Page 2. 1. Introduction. I started to write a history of Methodism in Spen, but as this touched on so many other aspects of village life, I decided to make it a more general history of the place. Then it became obvious that it would be difficult not to include Victoria Garesfield too because its mine workings reached under the Spen, and many of the workers at that colliery lived there.
