    THORNE MOORS VERTEBRATES REPORT 2013 Compiled by Martin Limbert, Bryan P. Wainwright and Steve Hiner 2014 CONTENTS Introduction Reptiles 2009–12 (with additions and corrections 2007–08) Working paper on deer List of observers and acknowledgements Species monitoring The establishment of Black-necked Grebe Recording in 2013 by Martin Limbert Birds Marsh Harriers 1990–2003 by Martin Limbert Mammals Black-headed Gull ringing: first instalment of results by Martin Limbert Reptiles A review of fish in Swinefleet Warping Drain Amphibians by Martin Limbert Fish New or additional literature sources Additions and corrections 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) INTRODUCTION 1. Scope of the report. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 is an unusually long report, not least because it continues the process of making Thorne Moors vertebrates recording as up-to-date as possible. Thus the Report contains elements beyond the routine 2013 components. Also, notice is given of a working paper on the deer of Thorne Moors, published separately in May 2014. Ever since 2012, an attempt has been made to catch up with backlogs of records and monitoring. This overall process began in the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2012, and continues in the current Report. The last Report to include reptile data was that for 2008. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 catches up by detailing additional reptile records for 2007–08 and all reptile records 2009–12. The recorder is Steve Hiner. The present Report otherwise contains accounts of birds, mammals, herptiles and fish in 2013. Also, available additions and corrections to the Reports for 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) are listed in full.

HISTORY OF PEAT EXPLOITATION 2.1 Unrefined peat fuel from Thorne Waste In 1626, during the reign of Charles I, an agreement was drawn up between the Crown and a Dutch entrepreneur Cornelius Vermyuden, to undertake the drainage of Hatfield Chase. The chase and its purlieus stretched from the River Aire in the north to Bawtry and north Nottinghamshire in the south, and from near Doncaster in the west to the rivers Don, Torne and Idle which form the boundary with Lincolnshire. The Isle of Axholme lies to the east, extending as far as the River Trent. The main causes of flooding were the meandering, sluggish courses of the Rivers Don, Torne and Idle, which could not cope with heavy rains in their western catchments. In addition, the River Trent, the main outlet for the three rivers, and the Don itself, were strongly tidal. To the north lay the tidal rivers Ouse and Aire and the smaller River Went.

  • Heritage & Church
    HERITAGE & CHURCH... NORTHERNLINCOLNSHIRE TRAILS Isle of Axholme www.churchtrails.com HERITAGE & CHURCH TRAILS ISLE OF AXHOLME About the Project Over the past two millennia churches have been at the heart of communities across the country and the churches of Northern Lincolnshire are no exception. Tightly bound to the events that shaped each town or village in the county, churches are able to act almost as living museums. Go into a church and look around. Before long you will have found something unusual – perhaps a strange mark in stone or brickwork, or an object that stands apart from its surroundings. Take the time to find out a little more about this sight and the chances are that you will have stumbled across a portal back in time. Whether this portal leads back to an epic moment in the area’s history or gives a quiet insight into the life of an individual is for you to discover, but every church in Northern Lincolnshire has its own tale to tell. In recognition of the unique position occupied by churches throughout our history the Northern Lincolnshire Heritage & Church Trails were set up to allow visitors access into these historic treasures, as well as allowing you to enjoy the area’s stunning rural landscape. Sixteen churches were selected from across the area and fitted with new heritage displays, charting the fascinating history of each town or village. Each of the churches taking part in the project opens to visitors on a regular basis. This project is part financed by The European Regional Development Fund PAGE | 2 These churches are divided into four groups: Barton and the surrounding area, Brigg and the surrounding area, the Isle of Axholme and North East Lincolnshire.

  • North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List
    North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List Description: The collection includes a minority of architectural plans, along with drawings of structures such as bridges and viaducts, maps of permanent way routes and alterations, signalling plans and diagrams, with a variety of miscellaneous components for structures and infrastructure. The collection comprises approximately 3500 plans, diagrams and maps on paper, wax linen and linen- backed cartridge paper. System of arrangement: The original arrangement of the drawings has been lost and they derive from a wide variety of applications within the architectural and civil engineering genres. The drawings have therefore been listed in the rolls in which they were found, and every effort made to record the variety of numbering systems used at different times by the railway company departments involved in creating and storing the drawings, representative of the different types of drawing. There is no one single and consistent numbering arrangement. Physical Characteristics: The drawings survive in a variety of formats and sizes – there are wax linen tracings, colour washed linenbacked original office drawings, drawings on cartridge paper, blueprints and other copying processes. Administrative/Biographical History: The North Eastern Railway Company was formed in 1854 as an amalgamation of the York & North Midland Railway, the Leeds Northern Railway and the York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway. It continued to absorb other companies in the north eastern region of England over subsequent decades, including the Stockton & Darlington Railway, South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway and the West Hartlepool Railway. In 1923 the various railway companies of the United Kingdom were grouped into four large amalgamations.
