Isle Group of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Allan Rowsell will be entertaining us at our December meeting with photographs taken on his visits to California. Allan is a well known local photographer so, with his many wonderful images accompanied by music and tales of his travels, means we are in for a treat. This will take place on Thursday December 1st at 7.30pm. As this is our Christmas meeting there will be Christmas cards on sale and there will be seasonal refreshments.

There will be a work party on Sunday December 4th at 10am. The venue has yet to be finalised but this will be confirmed at the December meeting or you can ring Geoff for details. There are going to be work parties on the first Sunday of the month during the winter.

Our January meeting will be on Thursday January 5th when we have our annual slide and digital evening. This is always a popular meeting when various members show us a short selection of photographs on a wide range of subjects, not necessarily natural history. If you have some photographs to share with everyone please let Geoff or any committee member know before the evening and then the programme and equipment can be organised. You don‘t have to be a brilliant photographer, we just like to have lots of people sharing their interests with us.

All our indoor meetings are held in the Stephen Jones Hall at the rear of the Methodist Chapel, Low Street, Haxey on the first Thursday of the month and everyone is welcome, you don‘t have to be a member. There is a small admission charge of £1 and there is a raffle and refreshments.

Don‘t forget that bird food is always on sale at our indoor meetings and at Geoff‘s house in Belton, at very competitive prices, just ring if you need anything. For further information about the local Trust group and their meetings please contact Geoff or Chris Trinder on 01427 872051. We look forward to welcoming all regular members and new visitors.

AXHOLME NORTH POLICE REPORT Potts Lane Car Park and St Oswalds Church Grounds, Church Street, Crowle Anti-social behaviour and vehicle nuisance in the car park and youths congregating and causing a nuisance to local residents at the church. Update = Temporary CCTV has been installed at Potts Lane Car Park and has had an extremely positive impact on the calls for service. Latest figures show PCSO 7576 PCSO 7889 only one call for service relating to Potts Lane during October PC1717 Paul Fearon Wendy Frear and this was regards vehicles speeding along the road. The Graham Godley Safer Neighbourhoods Team has contacted nearby residents to obtain feedback regarding the cameras and the results were extremely positive about the effect that they have had in combating the previous anti-social behaviour. This success of the camera suggests there is no or little need at this time to close the car park or remove the bench. One male driver has been reported for summons regarding driving licence and insurance offences and two others have had letters of warning regarding road traffic offences. The calls for service relating to anti social behaviour and damage to St Oswalds Church have also greatly reduced. There have been no calls to the church during October although there has been some damage caused to fences on Vicars Walk and also complaints about the behaviour of a known male on the nearby High Street and about the noise generated by youths attending at the Youth Club on Church Street. The Youth Service staff have been spoken to regarding the latter and have stated that they are experiencing an increase of young people using the centre (up to 40) so noise from inside the building is to be expected. Also a new scheme is starting where any young person found in the church yard will have a letter sent to their parents advising them of the problems being experienced and inform them of the new equipment and ask they encourage their children to meet at Windsor Park.On Target football sessions have been moved to St Norberts School Fieldside Crowle on Friday nights and street sports sessions are also available in the town.

Millennium Green Park, Edingburgh Road, Keadby Criminal damage and anti-social behaviour by three adult males in drink. This is a new priority set at the last Neighbourhood Action Team Meeting. There have been a number of incidents of damage caused to the park equipment and concerns have again been raised about three known males who visit the area often heavily under the influence of drink. It was discussed at the meeting about an application being made for the Safer Neighbourhoods Temporary CCTV which has proved to be a success in Crowle.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team frequently patrols the area and have in the past dealt with the three previously mentioned. Update = There have been no calls for service during October to Humberside Police relating to anti social-behaviour issues at the Millennium Green Playing Field at Keadby. A complaint was received regarding the antisocial use of a quad bike on nearby Pacey‘s Lane and as a result the quad bike has been seized by the Police as there was no valid insurance cover and a male had been reported for summons regarding the road traffic offences he committed. With regard to the concerns for the welfare of local drunks, there have been previous referrals to the drugs intervention programme and enquiries are on going with other agencies including the Community Alcohol Service to discover what further support can be provided for those in question.

Trent View, Keadby During October there have been a number of offences of criminal damages to properties on Trent View in Keadby Enquiries are ongoing with regarding the complaints but PC 1717 Graham Godley is appealing for any witnesses to come forward with any information they have about the incidents occurring during the early hours of Sunday 30th October.

Recent Issues Unauthorised Taking of a motor vehicle = A male from Luddington was stopped by the Police driving a vehicle without the owners consent and has been charged with the offence. Drugs Offences (Cannabis) = A male from Keadby has now been charged with the production of cannabis plants and bailed to appear at North Lincolnshire Magistrates Court at Scunthorpe. A female from Crowle is still on Police bail whilst enquiries are ongoing with regards drugs related offences at Crowle. A large amount of cannabis plants have been found growing in premises at Keadby and Police enquiries are still ongoing. Road Traffic Offences = Two males have received warning letters regarding road traffic offences committed by them at Crowle. Road Traffic Offences = A male has been reported for summons for driving without a licence and valid insurance cover and will be appearing at North Lincolnshire Magistrates Court at Scunthorpe. Vehicle seized = A quad bike has been seized from a male riding it on Chapel Lane in Keadby and he was given a fixed penalty ticket for two hundred pounds for having no valid insurance cover. Hunting with Dogs/Daytime Poaching = Three men have been reported for summons regarding hunting with dogs after being found on land with six dogs at Eastoft.

The Isle of Axholme

Where You Live

Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

AGRICULTURE IN THE 19th CENTURY (continued from last month) The artificial warping of the land is a fairly modern innovation. It is limited in extent; mainly to the areas near to the tidal reaches of the Trent, Ouse and Don rivers. It was also carried out in the Val di Chiana in Italy. The word warping may possibly, come from the Anglo-Saxon ‘Weorpan’ meaning to turn aside.

The first artificial warping appears to have taken place at Rawcliffe on the Humber by a man called Barker between 1730 and 1740. His work was continued by Richard Jennings of Howden. The practice soon spread to the Isle of Axholme.

Land suitable for artificial warping must fulfil certain conditions. The land must be above the low water line of the river; otherwise once flooded the water will not naturally flow off. The land must be below the water level line; otherwise the water will not reach the land. The river obviously must be tidal. A great difference between high and low water makes a river particularly suitable.

The method of artificial warping was as follows. The land to be warped (usually 400 to 500 acres at a time) had to be linked to the river. In the isle, this was either the Trent or the Ouse. The drain needed to be about 50 feet wide. The bottom of the drain needed to be at the low level of the river.

A sluice was built at the entrance to the river to control the flow of water. The whole area to be warped had to be embanked. From the drain must be dug minor ‘cuts’ out across the land in a dentritic pattern. When all was ready for the flooding the sluices were opened at low tide and as the tide rose so the silty water rushed up the drain and spread itself evenly over the embanked fields. As the tide ebbed, the water retreated and left behind a layer of silt about one eighth of an inch thick.

This process was carried out twice a day spring and summer. The small tides were not utilised. The winter tides were disregarded because they contained too much fresh water. A dry summer with little fresh water in the river produced the best warping. The warp is in layers. With each warping the heavier sand particles settled first to form a thin layer then the lighter clay particles settled to form a layer. The process took about three years to produce three feet of warp soil. This land is called ‘New Warp Land’. Throughout the process the developers had to satisfy the Court of Sewers. The early attempts at warping usually undertook only 60 or 70 acres and managed without sluices at river entrances.

The enclosure Act of 1795 allowed for some warping to be undertaken in the parishes of Haxey, Epworth, Owston Ferry and Belton. The Enclosure Act of 1813 did like wise for Crowle parish.

The cost of warping depended upon the individual conditions. The average cost during the 19 th century would be approximately £20.00 an acre that included the cost of the drains, the sluice, the floodgates, banking, rent of the land during warping and other expenses. The sluice gate was a very costly item- as high as £2,500. The cost of warping was very much reduced by the constructing of public warping drains at the time of enclosure. The names of these can be seen on Ordnance Survey Map (two and half inches to a mile). Anyone with land adjoining the drains was allowed to cut a channel to link up with the drains. By this method, the cost was reduced by two guineas (21/- 20/equalling one pound) an acre. In 1854 a private company bought Snow Sewer for £5,000 and charged the fee of £21.00 an acre for warping land adjoining it. In 1861 the fee was increased to 25 guineas.

Cart warping was also practised, that is spreading warp soil on existing land by hand. Usually one needed about 400 loads an acre. The charge for carting this warp soil was 0.5 pence per load per mile. Sometimes trams on specially laid tramways were used. Cart warping, however was a smallscale operation.

Before 1800 only about 1,500 acres of land had been warped. By 1850 practically all land within 3 miles of the River Trent had been successfully warped. No artificial warping has taken place since 1912.

CROWLE & EALAND TOWN COUNCIL NEWSLETTER ISSUE 11

Parks Nearing Completion Both Ealand Park and Manor Park look as if they will both reach completion very soon. Manor Park is currently closed whilst contractors put additional pieces of equipment in, these include another Titan Swing, an area to play football, more seats and litter bins, a footpath to link all the amenities together and allow access to wheelchair and pushchairs users, secure fencing to the backs of houses on Windsor Road and Johnson's Lane, and a 'Nature Corner' complete with rockery. Ealand Park will soon have a 'multi use games area' (MUGA) and bring this ambitious project to completion.

Windsor Park will also have its facilities increased with the addition of a skateboard park. All of these improvements are the result of volunteers working with the support of the council to achieve their objectives of providing enhanced recreational provision for the community.

Emergency Plan

A new questionnaire has been devised to advise people of the possible danger of an emergency due to flooding, severe snow, power breakdown or other cause which may disrupt the normal conduct of life. The questionnaire is designed to enable you as members of the public, to offer any service or skill that may be useful in helping the community in difficult times.

Whilst people are particularly good at looking out for their neighbours, the information gathered from this questionnaire will help us to co-ordinate resources in an effective manner across the whole community of Crowle and Ealand. Questionnaires should be returned as soon as possible so that the information given can be put into effect.

Christmas Lights This year‘s switching on of the Christmas lights promises to be a major event with a bigger selection of stalls in the market place between 10.00a.m. -6.00p.m., and after 5.00p.m. A fast food outlet planned. There will also be all the usual celebratory Christmas Events: switching the Christmas lights on, a visit from Santa Claus, and much in the way of good cheer!

Christmas Market

Christmas comes early for shoppers on Saturday 10th December from 10am with the Christmas market in the Market Place and the Christmas Craft Fair in the Community Hall. Why not come along for a bargain and some wonderful homemade gifts. Enjoy all that the local businesses have to offer whilst going between the events.

Salting

The severe weather last winter left the many streets and pathways in a treacherous condition. It is hoped that this year we are better prepared and to enable this salt bins are to be sited in Mill Road, Wharf Road near the railway station, and Eastoft Road adjoining Brewery Road. Additionally there will be supplies of salt stored so that if needed it can be spread to make routes passable.

Merry Christmas to all our readers from Crowle and Ealand Town Council.

News from Althorpe and Keadby Primary School Bramblebank Wood Community Nature Area We asked all the children for name suggestions for the wild area we have ‗tamed‘ at the back of our school between us and the riverbank and Bramblebank Wood was the popular ‗winner‘.

If you haven't been down to Bramblebank Wood today, we suggest that you do - as you will be in for a wonderful surprise!

The Friends of the School organised three Sunday afternoon sessions to clear the area and helpers from Keadby Power Station spent Thursday 20th October in there, as part of their Community Volunteer Days.

The results are amazing. The area has been cleared of litter; trees and shrubs have been cut back; we have made natural fences and planting has begun (we are expecting a big delivery of snowdrops this week!).

A huge thank you to the Friends of the School and Hazel Drury and friends from (SSE) Keadby Power Station – for helping us to make it a proper community enterprise.

As you can see from the photo, the children had a great time in there working with our Project Manager, Michele Davy, and more half day sessions are planned for each class to help with the on-going planting, as well as participating in more outdoor art activities.

Allotment Group Boosts Local Area By Planting Free Trees In November, the North Axholme Allotment Society [NAAS] received 420 free saplings from the Woodland Trust to improve the Crowle site with the benefits trees bring to both local communities and wildlife.

NAAS chair, Eric Dinsdale, said ―Planting these saplings is a great way for us to do something lasting in the area. We see it as an investment for the future as the trees will take around five years to reach head height. We hope the mature trees will help the allotments run on a more traditional basis and make a difference for everyone.‖ Victoria Hodson from the Trust added: "We are delighted that NAAS is using our free tree scheme to plant more trees in Crowle. Communities are transforming their neighbourhoods, growing their own fruits and vegetables, creating shade and shelter, and providing new homes for wildlife. Next year, we are offering more free trees as part of our Jubilee Woods Project to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, and would love more communities to get involved.

Although the Woodland Trust is a national organization, the NAAS is always keen to work with other partners, particularly local. In the summer of 2011 the society had a visit from a group from Crowle Primary School. The pupils all enjoyed the visit although, needless to say, the chickens, ducks and geese were the stars of the show. The school also led the way in the society‘s competitions to both design and name a new society mascot/logo.

The winner and the runner-up designed and named ―Captain Carrot‖.

The society wants the allotments to run on modern, inclusive basis where its members are not always people‘s image of a traditional allotmenteer.

The photo of some of the tree planters shows the society has a good mix of members.

And a big thanks to Thorne Brewery for the complimentary refreshments during the planting."

Crash Simulator Educates Isle Students Students at North Axholme experienced a car crash in a driving simulator in a bid to reduce the number of injuries to young drivers and their passengers on the Isle‘s roads.

Students sit in a modified Vauxhall Astra, nicknamed the I- Car and watch a film, in which five young people crash into a tree. The car is rigged with hydraulics which move in sync with the video, complete with smoke and flashing blue lights and allow the students to experience a ―real‖ crash situation. The I-Car experience is then followed by a series of workshops led by staff from Safer Roads Humber, a partnership of local agencies including the police and Humberside Fire and Rescue.

SPECIAL OFFER!

The workshops are designed to make young people to think about the safety of themselves and others when in a car. Over a quarter of young males aged 17-19 are involved in a collision in their first year of driving and for young women the highest risk of death on the road is as a passenger, most often with a young, male driver.

Mrs Gwyther, head of PSHE at North Axholme, said ―the intention was for young people to be encouraged to think about their attitudes to speed and to develop the skill and confidence to speak up if they feel uncomfortable with the way the car is being driven, which will hopefully lead to them being more safety conscious drivers when they themselves start to learn to drive next year.‖
