Richard M Jones has dedicated his life to writing about forgotten disasters and wanted to commemorate the victims of one of Hull’s worst tragedies. A previous memorial to the victims was removed due to a helipad being built at Hull Royal Infirmary suggested to TransPennine Express that a new one be installed at the station. The accident claimed the lives of 12 people after a train from Withernsea was approaching the station while another train destined for Scarborough had just departed in the opposite direction were mistakenly directed onto the same line by one of the three signalmen in a nearby junction box. Richard said: “Over the years there have already been two other memorials by the track side behind Hull Royal Infirmary the second one had to be removed to make way for the building of the helicopter pad there has been no way to remember the rail crash victims and it was very much in danger of being a forgotten aspect of Hull history. permission was given to have a new purpose-built memorial plaque placed on the wall inside the station near the Larkin statue.” A ceremony took place at Hull Paragon station on (Friday 14 February) to mark 98 since the tragedy Hull City Council and relatives of the victims. the exact time the accident happened. The plaque is now located in the station concourse we felt it was important to commemorate this tragedy so the victims are not forgotten. "This memorial also serves as a significant reminder of Hull's railway heritage and history which now holds a prominent place at the station I’d like to express my gratitude to Richard for his efforts in campaigning for this memorial and bringing it to our attention."

Flood and coastal risk management investment is not seen as economically viable or desirable along the East Yorkshire coast reports Angus Young who uncovers the tough decisions being taken a new pub called the Blue Bell was built in Kilnsea close to where the East Yorkshire coast meets the Humber estuary A plaque set on to a cobble wall at the pub recorded that it was 534 yards (488 metres) from the sea The measurement was a reminder of the grim fate of a previous pub with the same name which had been washed away some years before along with most of the old village Bodies buried in the church graveyard were exposed as the soft clay cliff it stood on crumbed into the sea Today the Blue Bell – now owned by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust – is only 55 yards (50 metres) from the sea Coastal erosion in this part of the world is nothing new but it is accelerating A recent survey by East Riding of Yorkshire Council recorded some of the largest losses of land ever seen since regular clifftop monitoring started in 1983 In one stretch of coastline where the annual average loss is 1.4 metres up to 12 metres of land were lost between August 2023 and May this year between 6 and 9 metres of cliff crumbled away during the same period “Defending the whole of our coast doesn’t stack up because the reality is that if we did Last winter’s exceptional weather – which included record rainfall and 11 named storms – was almost certainly the trigger for the unprecedented losses but as climate change becomes an accepted reality council officials and those living near the coast are having to come to terms with a faster rate of erosion modelling what might happen in the future has been based on historic annual erosion rates the council says it expects around 102 residential properties will be lost to the sea by 2105 But that doesn’t include any allowance for climate change which include climate change modelling for the first time are due to be published by the Environment Agency early next year They will map out three potential future scenarios for the coastlines around the UK that are most at risk from erosion The council’s long-standing shoreline management policy is to defend key areas of population and infrastructure along the coast while adopting a managed retreat elsewhere who represents the East Wolds and Coastal ward obviously there is a lot of science behind it but I just don’t think you can map the force of nature I live on that coastline and it’s literally changing massively on a monthly basis.” The council launched its own Changing Coasts project last year with the aim of working more closely with local communities to both respond to and plan for the impact of coastal erosion both now and in the long term council officials met with their counterparts in three parishes to start discussions over potential future housing options and financial assistance for residents who will eventually be forced to relocate Funded through the government’s Flood and Coast Innovation Programme the four-year project includes a commitment to deliver new small-scale community housing schemes to replace properties that will be lost to coastal erosion as well as experimenting with trial temporary uses on so-called “transitional land” where permanent development is no longer appropriate or viable the project is not offering any financial compensation for those land and property owners at risk of coastal erosion and none of the funding will be allocated to the construction or maintenance of sea defences it reflects the council’s long-standing shoreline management policy of defending key areas of population and infrastructure along the coast while adopting a managed retreat elsewhere With 85km of vulnerable coastline between Bridlington and Spurn Point building and maintaining defences along the entire length is considered neither physically nor financially feasible Post-Brexit financial support from successive governments has yet to materialise making it harder for local councils to make the numbers stack up A relatively recent new defence scheme in the seaside town of Withernsea underlines the point along with neighbouring Hornsea and a major gas terminal facility at Easington to the south the town is one of the so-called “hold the line” locations under the shoreline management policy The scheme involved extending the town’s sea defences southwards by constructing a 400m-long barrier of rock armour made up of 70,000 tonnes of granite imported from Norway The £7 million cost was supported by a £3 million grant from the European Regional Development Fund fortunately signed off before the UK’s departure from the European Union similar post-Brexit financial support from successive governments has yet to materialise A gloomy recent East Riding of Yorkshire Council paper on the issue noted: “It is important to report that some feasibility studies have indicated that flood and coastal risk management investment is not economically viable with large funding gaps present for scheme proposals This largely reflects challenges around the funding rules we must work with to secure government grant aid “In addition there has been a significant reduction in the number of external funding sources available to support projects compared with the previous investment cycle Examples include the Local Growth Fund and the European Regional Development Fund which contributed over £26 million to our works between 2015 and 2021.” the council’s sustainable development manager while the current policy of defending major centres of population and critical infrastructure along the coast will continue “our ability to defend beyond that is zero the overall sustainability – whether that is environmental social or economic – of defending the whole of our coast doesn’t stack up because the reality is that if we did defend all of it the collapsed remains of a concrete First World War gun battery now lie half-buried in sand on the beach while a section of the old main road hangs over the cliff edge like an Olympic diving board The reality is we have to work with the natural processes we have got in order to sustain the bits that we currently do We are looking at transition and adaptation but I don’t think the answer is defence everywhere.” acknowledges that a future scenario in which currently defended towns such as Hornsea and Withernsea become increasingly isolated by coastal erosion on either side is “something we are heading towards” He adds: “There are a lot of options to look at but yes [the coast] will continue to move back either side of those places.” the only visible defences against the sea are accidental the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has converted part of the building into a mini-laboratory as part of a project aimed at re-establishing an ancient seagrass meadow off Spurn Point As well as being able to capture carbon 35 times faster than tropical rainforest while supporting a variety of marine wildlife the tiny plants offer an unusual alternative to imported Norwegian rock in the battle against the tide explains: “Coastal communities benefit from healthy seagrass meadows too acting in unison to slow tidal currents and reduce wave energy the intricate root system running beneath the sediment surface helps to stabilise the seabed protecting the coastline against erosion.” Whether seagrass ends up saving Kilnsea from an eventual watery grave remains to be seen we should find out within the next few years Angus Young is a freelance Geordie journalist living in Hull He has worked
