  • The Myth Of'richmond's Little Drummer Boy', Could It Be That Lewis Carroll Came up with the Idea of 'Alice's Adventures Un
    The Myth of ‘Richmond’s Little Drummer Boy’, Could it be that Lewis Carroll came up with the idea of 'Alice's Adventures Underground' from hearing about 'The Legend of the 'Drummer Boy'? Around forty years prior to Lewis Carroll moving to Richmond, North Yorkshire, legend has it that a little drummer boy was lowered underground into a dark deep tunnel that supposedly linked Richmond Castle and Easby Abbey. As a child Lewis grew up with the legend of the 'Drummer Boy', consequently the book he first wrote was originally called, 'Alice's Adventures Underground' before it was renamed 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' © The above picture is the copyright of Green Howards Museum RICHMOND North Riding of Yorkshire Legend has it there used to be a tunnel connecting Easby Abbey to Richmond Castle. After many hundreds of years, the tunnel was rediscovered at the castle, but had been quite damaged over the passing of time; only a small boy could pass through the fallen rubble. A very brave drummer boy volunteered to follow the tunnel and beat his drum as he went, so that the soldiers above could hear him and follow the path of the tunnel to Easby, thereby discovering the Abbey entrance. Half way between the Castle and the Abbey, the drumming came to an abrupt stop, and the brave little soldier was never seen again. Myth has it that the rhythm of the boys drumming sent shivers through the souls of the brave soldiers who followed the beat above. What was of more interest to the Little Drummer Boy was what lay ahead, had the drumming awoken something in the depths below, every hair on the little Drummer Boy’s body tingled electrified by fear, he knew there was something ahead he felt it in every bone in his body, he was only a little boy, but he had the courage of a Lion he continued onward till he came to yet another cavern.

  • The Impact of Historical Metal Mining on the River Swale Catchment, North Yorkshire, U.K
    THE IMPACT OF HISTORICAL METAL MINING ON THE RIVER SWALE CATCHMENT, NORTH YORKSHIRE, U.K. IAN DENNIS UNIVERSITY OF WALES, ABERYSTWYTH JULY 2005 Abstract ABSTRACT This investigation examines the impact of historical metal mining on the River Swale catchment, North Yorkshire, U.K. Approximately 550,000 tonnes of Pb were extracted from mines in the Swale catchment during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Mining and processing operations were relatively inefficient, leading to the discharge of large quantities of metal-rich sediment into the fluvial system. The primary aim of this thesis is to assess the physical and chemical impacts of the discharge of metals from historical mining activities on the River Swale catchment as a whole. The dispersal, storage and transfer of metal-rich sediment in formerly mined tributaries, floodplain and flood sediments are evaluated, and the environmental consequences of mining are assessed. A detailed geochemical survey of the River Swale catchment indicates that channel and floodplain sediments within formerly mined tributaries exhibit extremely high concentrations of Pb, Zn and Cd. Similar enrichment is observed in floodplain sediments from throughout the catchment, suggesting that large volumes of material have been transported from the tributaries and deposited on the Swale floodplain. Evidence from contemporary flood sediments suggests that considerable quantities of metal-rich sediment continue to be cycled through the system almost 100 years after the cessation of mining operations. Sediment budgeting suggests that 32,000 tonnes of Pb remain stored in formerly mined tributaries, with a further 123,000 tonnes stored in the Swale floodplain. Combined storage represents more than half of the total Pb that is likely to have been released during mining operations, suggesting that the impacts of metal mining are extremely long-lasting.

  • 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.

Similar material had been gathered by the Rev. J.B.R. Walker previous to 1860, which he purposed some day to publish, but his death prevented the consummation of this intention. These records were purchased by the writer to preserve them from loss, but with no expectation at that time of completing the work. They were very incomplete and in great confusion, but contained much valuable information which would be difficult to secure at the present time. Hon. Josiah H. Drummond; one of the most eminent lawyers in Maine, while engaged in historical and genealogical work, also became interested in the Richmond family, and made quite complete records of the first four generations. These he very kindly placed at the service of the writer; and the opportunity thus given of comparing these data and those of Mr.

This is known as the Plan Area. Some settlements however fall part inside the National Park, namely Hudswell, Downholme and East Witton, yet they have been included in this study. The purpose of this study is to help us to understand the role of each settlement in the local area and to guide us in planning for the future of each settlement and the Plan Area as a whole. Gathering Information This study has been updated from its original version which was compiled in June 2009. As part of this update a range of local sources have been used, including contact with and feedback from local Parish Councils and Meetings, information held by the Council, desktop studies, web resources and site visits to the relevant settlements. Maintaining the Information It is the nature of such studies that they date very quickly; therefore we will update this study on a regular basis.
