  • Rural Microbusinesses in North East England
    RURAL MICROBUSINESSES IN NORTH EAST ENGLAND: FINAL SURVEY RESULTS Marian Raley Andrew Moxey Centre for Rural Economy Research Report RURAL MICROBUSINESSES IN NORTH EAST ENGLAND: FINAL SURVEY RESULTS Marian Raley Andrew Moxey July 2000 Preface This report presents the final results of a major postal survey of agricultural and non-agricultural microbusinesses carried out in the rural north east of England. The overall project focuses on microbusinesses, defined as those which employ fewer than 10 staff (full-time equivalents), in the rural areas of the counties of Durham, Northumberland and Tees Valley. The project’s broad aims are to ascertain the nature and needs of rural microbusinesses and to understand their existing relationships with business support agencies and where these relationships could be usefully developed. Other reports produced so far by the project include a review of business support services under the title Providing Advice and Information in Support of Rural Microbusinesses and an interim review of the survey of microbusinesses Rural Microbusinesses in the North of England: A Survey . This report has been prepared by Marian Raley and Andrew Moxey of the Centre for Rural Economy (CRE) at the University of Newcastle. Other members of the microbusiness team at CRE include Matthew Gorton, Philip Lowe, Jeremy Phillipson and Hilary Talbot. CRE would like to thank Mike Coombes and Simon Raybould of CURDS at the University of Newcastle for providing the Urbanisation Index scores underpinning the survey, and UK BORDERS at the University of Edinburgh for providing the digital map data allowing the mapping of Urbanisation Scores onto postcodes and business addresses.

There has been a congregation of Christians of a Baptist persuasion meeting in the Tyne Valley since 1652, making it the second oldest such church in the north east of England and one of the oldest surviving Baptist churches in the country. However, statistics such as this do not really give the full picture, for a church is not primarily an institution or an organisation, but a community of people who have chosen to serve and worship God together. The real story of Stocksfield Baptist Church is told in the lives of the men and women who for three and a half centuries have encountered God, experienced his love and become followers of Jesus Christ, expressing this new-found faith through believers’ baptism. They have given their lives to serving their Lord through sharing their faith and helping people in need, meeting together for worship and teaching.

  • 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.
