  • Calotypes and Biographies from the 2019 Exhibition
    Calotypes and biographies from the 2019 exhibition Bob Hale, YPS Archivist, 2019 Henry Baines (1793-1878) Henry Baines was born on 15 May 1793 in a cottage over the ruins of the medieval St Leonard’s Hospital in present-day Museum Street, York. From the age of twelve he was employed as a gardener, saying he first put spade in ground close by these ruins, in what became the Museum Gardens. Work took him to Halifax where he became interested in natural history. After his return to York in 1824 or early 1825, married and with a baby daughter, he joined the firm of Backhouses, nurserymen. In 1828, the Yorkshire Philosophical Society took the lease of the Manor Shore and appointed Henry to take care of the grounds. With the opening of the new Museum in the gardens in 1830 he also became its sub- curator under John Phillips, and was provided with accommodation for his family there. He made an immediate impression. The YPS annual report for 1830 reads: “Council consider themselves fortunate in the person whom they have engaged to take charge of the grounds; a person qualified by his skill and industry, not only to cultivate the gardens with scientific diligence, but to render essential service to the museum. His activity has already obtained for the Society over 500 plants.” Largely self-taught, he published his Flora of Yorkshire in 1840, a vital contribution to the study of local botany. He was 51 and by then a devoted and highly valued employee of the YPS when he helped to host the British Association’s meeting when it returned to York in 1844.

  • The Magnetic Ironstone Conundrum
    The genesis of geology in York and beyond HOGG 25th Anniversary Meeting Thursday 24th October Field Excursion Notes Rosedale - the magnetic ironstone conundrum Rosedale – the magnetic ironstone conundrum Afternoon Rosedale – the magnetic ironstone conundrum Practical Men “The practice of geology, through the search for mines and minerals, has been much less attended to by historians than has the geology undertaken by leisured amateurs - even though practical geology was as important in the past as the oil industry is today.” Hugh Torrens (2002) The Practice of British Geology, 1750–1850. London: Routledge. Introduction At its peak in the mid 1870s-mid 1880s the ironstone industries in the area (alongside the remainder of the Cleveland Hills) provided 38% of Britain’s need for iron, which equated to 20% of world demand. The area contributed to the shifting industries in North East England and the establishment of Middlesbrough as a centre of iron-making and its impact on the nation and the world beyond. Iron was in much demand - investment in construction of railways, in Britain and abroad started around 1835 and continued apace for the next three decades creating a significant demand for rails made from iron. In 1835 ironstone was first identified and the first underground ironstone mining commenced in the Cleveland Hills ironstone mining district. Ironstone was identified in stream near tunnel works at Grosmont when building the new railway between Whitby and Pickering and was subsequently worked along the Murk Esk Valley at Beck Hole and Esk Valley, then at Kildale. In 1853 a magnetic ironstone with a significantly high iron content was discovered in Rosedale.

Sharon Artley taught at Caedmon School in Whitby for 23 years. When a replica of Caedmon’s Cross was erected in the school grounds, she researched how the original Cross came into being and learned Caedmon’s hymn in Anglo-Saxon. Since 2018 Sharon has been the principal editor of NYMA’s quarterly magazine ‘Voice of the Moors’. Fiona Barnard is a life-long history enthusiast whose interest in the Scoresbys was sparked when she moved to Whitby. She has been working on the Scoresby collection in Whitby Museum since 2009. Ian Carstairs has wide experience of conservation of the natural, cultural and built heritage, charity trusteeships, community action and campaigning. Starting his countryside ‘career’ as Assistant Director of the Moors Centre, he has also been a Secretary of State’s Board member and a deputy-chair of the North York Moors National Park Authority; Chairman of the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Yorkshire and the Humber grant committee; and is President of NYMA. A competent photographer, he loves the moorland landscape and the night sky. Michael Chaloner is a retired Industrial Chemist and treasurer of Northallerton and District Local History Society.

Terraces and channels, most of which are now relict features well above the altitude of the present river, attest to the impacts of massive meltwater discharge and deposition of sand and gravel outwash, and dynamic river regimes with rapid incision. Through field survey, we have created a detailed geomorphological map of these landforms and glacial and fluvioglacial surface deposits, as well as the terraces and palaeochannels that were abandoned by the river due to avulsion Citation: Innes, J.; Mitchell, W.; and incision-driven course changes.
