One comes to York as the capital of a country, rather than of a county, for it is a city that seems in more than one sense Metropolitan. Indeed, you cannot travel close upon two hundred miles, even in England and in these days of swift communication, without feeling the need of some dominating city, to act partly as a seat of civil and ecclesiastical government, as a centre if and partly distributing ; and something of this need is even how much more yet apparent, " " keenly it must have been felt in those good old days which were really so bad ! A half-way house, so to speak, between those other capitals of London and Edinburgh, York had all the appearance of a capital in days of old, and has lost but little of it, in these, B 1 2 THE GREAT NORTH ROAD even though in point of wealth and population it lags behind those rich and dirty neighbours, Leeds and Bradford. For one thing, it has a history to which they cannot lay claim, and keeps a firm hold upon titles and dignities conferred ages ago. We may ransack the pages of historians in vain in attempting to find the beginnings of York. Before history began it existed, and just because it seems a shocking thing to the well-ordered historical mind that the first founding of a city should go back beyond history or tradition, Geoffrey of Monmouth and other equally unveracious chroniclers have obligingly given precise and quite untrustworthy accounts of how it arose, at the bidding of kings who never had an existence outside their fertile brains. When the Romans came, under Agricola, in A.D. 70, York was here. We do not know by what name the Brigantes, the warlike tribe who inhabited the northern districts of Britain, called it, but they possessed forts at this strategic point, the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss, where York still stands, and evidently had the military virtues fully developed, because it has seemed good to all who have come after them, from the Romans and the Normans to ourselves, to build and retain castles on the same sites. The Brigantes were a great people, despite the fact that they had no literature, 110 science, and no clothes with which to cover their nakedness, and were they in existence now, might be useful in teaching our War Office and commanding officers something of strategy and fortification. They have left memorials of their existence in the names of " many places beginning with Brig," and they are the of all the that ever existed, for sponsors brigands " their name was a Brito-Welsh word meaning hill- " " men or highlanders," and, as in the old days, to be a highlander was to be a thief

  • Aberford and Parlington Estate 2
    ABERFORD, BECCA BANKS and PARLINGTON ESTATE A fairly easy going 3.5 mile walk involving 2 short hills and 2 stiles (can be muddy around Leyfield Farm). Start point: Cock Beck Bridge, Aberford. LS25 3AA A map for this walk can be obtained by using the following link:- http://www.walk4life.info/walk/harrys-walks-aberford-becca-banks-parlington See NOTE 1 for detailed history Walk: From Cock Beck Bridge, walk away from the beck passing the Arabian Horse public house on your right to take the first lane on your left, opposite a public bridleway sign. Continue along the lane passing cottages on your left and then Becca Bank Villas. 200 yards further on, turn left into a wood along a ‘permissive footpath’. Carry along this distinctive path as it winds its way through the wood eventually arriving below Becca Bank Crag on your right. See NOTE 2 Continue following the path, through the wood to eventually emerge on to the lane that you left a while back. At this point, turn left continuing to walk along the road for about ½ a mile where Becca Hall eventually comes into view. See NOTE3. Before you reach the hall, turn left at a post which says ‘no public right of way’ and within 100 yards on reaching a footpath sign by a wood, turn left through a gate to follow the sign to Parlington. Now continue down a wide track through the wood and at the bottom, on reaching a field, bear slight right along the top of a field with a row of trees on your right.

QUAKERS IN THIRSK MONTHLY MEETING 1650-75 The present study investigates the area around Thirsk in Yorkshire and finds evidence that gives a slightly different emphasis from that of Davies. Membership of the local community is apparent, but, because the evidence comes from the account of the sufferings of Friends following their persecution John Woods for holding meetings for worship in their own homes, when forbidden to meet in towns, it shows that the sustained attempt in this area during the decade to prevent worship outside the Established Church did not prevent the Malton,North Yorkshire,England 1660-70 holding of Quaker Meetings for worship in the area.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

    Ref: PNW00358 HMCA\Topic: Outer North East Subject: Site in the plan Site: MX2-39 - Parlington Estate, Aberford Agree with proposed use? No Soundness Consider the plan sound? No Test of soundness addressed: Positively prepared Effective Justified Consistent with NPPF Changes required to make sound: The development is much too big for the current environment and not in keeping with the controlled expansion of villages and towns. This is not a village, but a new town! The site should be considered as an area of natural beauty and developed as a country park widening the usuage for the whole city of leeds. Issues Issue: Other - Local Character Local Character of the two small villages of Aberford and Barwick in Elmet with their unique identities and traditions are in danger of being destroyed by being amalgamated into one giant development in the future. Issue: Site boundary The site boundary encompasses most of the Parlington Civil Parish. It is massively too big dwarfing the two local villages or Aberford and Barwick In Elmet. The result of which may lead to one large conurbation in the future. Issue: Highways and transport the highway infrastructure in the area is totally inadequate to accommodate an additional 5,000 or more cars (or even 10,000 cars) and their average daily vehicle movements (25,000). The existing traffic volumes from Barwick, Aberford and the neighbouring villages already swamp the narrow and weight- limited bridges. The low and narrow rail bridge at Barwick Road, Garforth and the inadequate Town End junction in Garforth, where accidents and congestions occur frequently.
