The North York Moors became one of our first National Parks in 1952. Its moors are one of the largest areas of heather moorland in Britain and cover an area of 550 square miles. It is hard to imagine that they were once permanently covered in ice and snow. When global warming took effect at the end of the Ice Age, the snowfields began to melt and melt water flowed south. It gouged out the deep valley of Newtondale where the Pickering Beck now flows. Newtondale runs roughly north-south parallel to the A169 Whitby to Pickering road and is a designated SSSI of 940 ha (2,300 acres).

  • Advisory Visit Pickering Beck – Duchy Water 30-08-2011
    Advisory Visit Pickering Beck – Duchy Water 30-08-2011 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Paul Gaskell of the Wild Trout Trust to the Duchy Water on Pickering Beck on August 30th, 2011. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Tony Walsh and Dave Southall of Pickering Fishery Association (http://www.pickeringfishery.co.uk/ ). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 1.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Duchy Water on the Pickering Beck flows over the limestone and calcareous sandstone bedrock of the North Yorkshire Moors to the northeast of Pickering. Bedrock deposits are overlain with a superficial alluvium of clay, silt, sand as well as gravel and the beck runs parallel to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line for much of its course upstream of Pickering. Below the town of Pickering, the Pickering Beck merges with Costa Beck close to Kirby Misperton, that in turn merges with first the Rye and then the Derwent close to Wykeham. Much of the river upstream of Pickering enjoys a conservation designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and also falls within a Catchment Sensitive Farming priority catchment. Furthermore, the catchment is also the beneficiary of a novel flood risk management scheme instigated in 2009 at a cost of around £700K. The project seeks to use land management techniques to increase the time taken for rainfall in the upper catchment to reach the housing and urbanised sections of the downstream catchment (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/news/105562.aspx ).

Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Ian Cowx, for allowing me to have such a fantastic opportunity to work with him, also for his valuable feedback and guidance over the course of my MSc. I would also like to thank all the HIFI team especially Jon Harvey, for answering all my questions and Andy Nunn for all his technical support. Much appreciation goes to the Environment Agency for providing me with the data to undertake this study. I especially appreciated the help of John Shannon for the enlightening days out on the walk-over survey. A big thank you must go to all the supporting staff I have come across during my time at University; Biological Sciences, Disability Services and Graduate School. I would like to thank my closest friends, Tom, Charlie, Dan, Jordan, Dom, Chris, Togay and Alex for all being such amazing friends and for your support and continual efforts to keep me driven but not forgetting all the wonderful people I have met during my studies. A special thank you cannot be missed for, Christina Titlow (and the girls) for putting up with me through the ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ and above all keeping a smile on my face! Finally, an enormous thank you goes to my family.

  • A Post-Colonial Study of Museums in North Yorkshire
    Exhibiting the countryside: A post-colonial study of museums in North Yorkshire Siriporn Srisinurai Master of Arts (by Research) University of York Department of Sociology October 2013 1 Abstract This dissertation attempts to understand the images and stories of the countryside exhibited in two local museums in North Yorkshire – the Ryedale Folk Museum, Hutton le Hole and the Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life, Pickering. The study was conducted through qualitative methods mainly based on multi-sited museography, documentary and visual archives, and interviews. Using a postcolonial framework, this research’s findings relate to three main arguments. First, museums and modernity: the research explores both museums as theatres of memory rather than as a consequence of the heritage industry. The emergence of these museums involves practices that responded to industrialisation and modernity, which led to massive and rapid changes in the Ryedale countryside and nearby rural ways of life. Second, museums and the marginal: “the countryside” exhibited in both museums can be seen as the margins negotiating with English nationalism and its dominant narratives of homogeneity, unity and irresistible progress. Three key aspects involved with this process are space, time, and people. The first part of the research findings considers how both museums negotiated with English nationalism and the use of the countryside as a national narrative through images of the countryside “idyll” and the north-south divide. The second part illustrates how local folk museums exhibited “folklife” as the “chronotopes of everyday life” in contrast with the “typologies of folk objects”. The third part focuses on forgotten histories and domestic remembering of space, time and people based on the “local and marginal” rather than the “universal and national”.
