Aspects of the Romano-British landscape around holme on Spalding moor, east Yorkshire
No full textAn examination was undertaken of the nature and extent of Romano-British settlement and industry in the context of the landscape around Holme on Spalding Moor. An environmental reconstruction of the study area was made, showing it to be marginal, low lying and prone to wetness. The most suitable land for exploitation were the ridges of Aeolian sands. Systematic field survey over an 8 x 8 km square, together with cropmark evidence showed that site distribution was closely related to soil type, watercourses and other environmental constraints. A total of 106 Romano-British kiln and settlement sites, 49 sites with iron working or manufacture and several with evidence for glass working were discovered from fieldwalking, examination of museum collections and archives and excavations. Worked flints and stone axes showed that there had been activity on the sand ridges near to watercourses since the Neolithic. The data suggests that settlement was intensified during the later Iron Age with iron working and manufacture being undertaken especially near the dendritic creek system in which the Hasholme Iron Age log boat sank. The Romano-British pottery industry seems to have built up around the same creek system, which provided a means of distribution to Shiptonthorpe, Brough and other Romano-British settlements further afield. Fabric and form analysis of local wares when compared with pottery of known date showed that production began in the later 2nd century A.D., reaching a peak in the mid fourth.Clay was plentiful and managed woodland may have provided fuel for furnaced based industries. Settlement types showed little change from the late Iron Age, but followed developments paralleled elsewhere, with some degree of Romanisation. Marine flooding did not cause the decline of industry and settlement in the area as has been previously suggested. It is possible that these settlements formed the basis of the hamlets within the parish of Holme on Spalding Moor, although continuity has yet to be proved

Henry Harmon Spalding portrait
No full textA portrait of early Oregon settler Henry Harmon Spalding (1803–1874). This carte-de-visite photograph probable dates from the 1860s or early 1870s. Spalding was a missionary who came to the Oregon Territory in 1835, where he attempted to convert the Nez Perce and other tribes to Christianity. A handwritten note from Spalding to T. R. Cornelius appears on the back.[Transcription of handwritten note on back of photograph:] To Hon. T. R. Cornelius from his sincere friend, H. H. Spalding born in Steuben Co., N. y. 26 Nov. 1803.

The Old Bakery, Ayscough Avenue, Spalding, Lincolnshire. An Archaeological Evaluation
No full textAn archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of the Old Bakery, Ayscough Avenue, Spalding (AAS04) ahead of redevelopment. Eleven trenches were excavated to asses the potential for any archaeological evidence. The trenches revealed traces of the more recent industrial activities along with evidence that the environs would have been wet and un-inhabitable until recent times
Further Results on the Heat Transfer to Low-Prandtl Number Fluids in Pipes
No full textNumerical predictions have been made of heat transfer to low-Prandtl-number fluids in pipes with constant wall heat flux. The turbulence model employed is of the two-equation (k-)c kind in the core and the one-equation (k) kind in the near-wall region.
Fluids with Prandtl numbers in the range 0.007-0.045 have been examined, in the Reynolds range from 7600 to 106.
Temperature profiles and Nusselt numbers are in fairly good agreement with experiments on fully developed flow.
Nusselt numbers for the thermal entrance region are found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental results, which, however, display a large scatter
Gwen Raverat : Friends, Family and Affections
No full textPublished in hardback by the Harvill Press in both England and America and in paperback in 2003 by Pimlico. Widely reviewed in the national press, including The Observer (‘this sympathetic, fastidious and beautiful produced biography’, Robert McCrum), The Times (‘Frances Spalding is attempting what might be called genetic biography, in which a certain species, ie. The Darwins, is tracked through its evolutionary progress’, Peter Ackroyd), The Independent (‘meticulous and evocative biography’, Patricia Craig), The Guardian (‘authoritative’, Alfred Hickling), The Spectator, The New Statesman, TLS, London Review of Books, Print Quarterly and others. While following the life and work of Gwen Raverat (nee Darwin) and of her husband the painter Jacques Raverat, it uncovered new material about the networks operative in late Victorian and Edwardian Cambridge and told for the first time the story of Jacques Raverat’s decline owing to multiple sclerosis, bringing to the study a careful analysis of the historical understanding of that illness. Extensively furnished from primary sources within the massive Darwin Archive, housed in Cambridge University Library, it mounted the first full biographical account of the Raverats and of their circle. Designed and printed at the Libanus Press, author, publisher and printer agreed on a layout that banished captions to a list at the back of the book. Though this format offended some, the book was widely praised for its high standard of design and presentation and led to invitations to lecture to the Friends of Cambridge University Library, at the Ways with Words Festival at Dartington and elsewhere
