Ure River Research Project
Location: North Yorkshire
This project will carry out an investigation into the historic structures along the riverside between Masham and West Tanfield (8 mile stretch) including carrying out a geophysical survey of the site of an old mill and working with an holistic buildings expert to survey the mills, bridges, fords and weirs that form the riverside structures today.
Research will also be carried out into the effect of the great flood of Masham circa 1720. Members will offer the wider community the opportunity to take part in this work, join in guided walks, attend public talks and benefit from training in IT. The local schoolchildren at Kell Bank School will be ale to join in by carrying out walks along the river and interpreting the history of the mills and Uredale with the help of an arts organisation.
The NBS wlkl fund the development of an educational pack. The project will produce an heritage trail along the riverside with a guide leaflet, a website, database, CD Rom record of the research made available to local archives, guided walks and talks in the village hall open to the community.
