  • Songs of the Sea in Northumberland

    Songs of the Sea in Northumberland

    Songs of the Sea in Northumberland Destinations: Northumberland & England Trip code: ALMNS HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Sea shanties were working songs which helped sailors move in unison on manual tasks like hauling the anchor or hoisting sails; they also served to raise spirits. Songs were usually led by a shantyman who sang the verses with the sailors joining in for the chorus. Taking inspiration from these traditional songs, as well as those with a modern nautical connection, this break allows you to lend your voice to create beautiful harmonies singing as part of a group. Join us to sing with a tidal rhythm and flow and experience the joy of singing in unison. With a beachside location in sight of the sea, we might even take our singing outside to see what the mermaids think!

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding

    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.

Conclusions 41 9. References 45 10. Appendices 48 2 1. Executive Summary • Recent research has highlighted an increasing separation of work and residential location as commuting journey lengths increase. This is particularly the case for rural residents, who tend to have longer commutes than urban residents. Whilst commuters bring money to their place of residence that has been earned outside the locality, they also represent a leakage of money from the locality often commuting for work is associated with commuting for other activities, including retail and leisure spending.
  • Northumberland Field Systems

    Northumberland Field Systems

    Northumberland Field Systems By R. A. BUTLIN HE AGRARIAN history of the county of Northumberland has been the subject of much speculative enquiry, yet its main outlines are still T unknown. Gray thought the county to be a "region which in regard to its settlement and field systems was transitional between Celtic and Midland areas."1 Uhlig, in his study of the landscape of north-eastern England, states that "the former use of permanent arable land in small, long strips, and its location on the naturally best drained fields close to the settlement, whilst the outer fields remained a Block-Flur with a field-grass system, show striking similarities not only to the Scottish run-rig system, but also to the Esch, the strip infield of the oldest nuclei of the North Western German villages.''2 The Orwins were satisfied that "in the Middle Ages the system (open-field) prevailed all over Northumberland, except in the moorland areas," ~ and Tate, in the preface to his study of Northumberland enclosures, says: "one would expect the county to fall into a group of transitional districts, whose agriculture shows traces of Celtic 'run-rig' and of the more pure Germanic open fields of the Midlands. ''4 It is perhaps unfortunate that none of these authors has chosen to make extensive use of the surveys and maps of the county which appeared during the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, for these, in many instances, give a detailed picture of the anatomy of the Northumberland field system, and confirm the suspicion, voiced by some of these authors, that the field systems of the county show marked affinities with both Scottish and Midland arrangements.

    Location: Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth, Cramlington, Morpeth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, North Shields, Seahouses, Seaton Delaval, Whitley Bay There will be changes to some services in Northumberland and Tyne & Wear from Sunday 5th January 2020 to improve punctuality, speed up journeys and respond to customers’ requests. All of the changes are described in detail below. Simply click on the links to download new timetables for each service. Printed leaflets are available on buses and from the Ashington, Blyth, Morpeth and Newcastle Haymarket bus stations. Service 1: Blyth – Cowpen – Bebside – Bedlington Station – Ashington – Lynemouth – Ellington – Widdrington Last September we withdrew some northbound journeys from Ashington bus station to improve punctuality. This has been very successful, so all northbound buses (travelling from Blyth to Wansbeck Hospital, Cresswell and Widdrington) will now omit Ashington bus station and serve the stop on Woodhorn Road opposite Sports Direct. As a result, there will be minor alterations to the timetable. In addition, buses will use Bay 6 instead of Bay 5 in Blyth bus station to reduce delays caused by congestion in this area. Service 46: Newcastle – Regent Centre – Brunton Park – Featherstone Grove This service will have a revised timetable to improve punctuality and better match capacity with demand. Buses will continue to run up to every 15 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes, but they will be less frequent in the early morning and late afternoon to reflect lower usage during these periods. Monday to Saturday evening journeys will extend from Polwarth Drive to Featherstone Grove following requests from local residents. As a result, the times will change by up to five minutes.
