	River Tees History
		The Tees is born in the North Pennines at Tees Head, on the easterly reaches of Cross Fell.
		For the ancient Celts the Tees was a river of 'sunshine and heat' and was well known to the tribal Brigantes, who fought the Roman invasion of the valley.
		Catraeth was defeated and the Anglo-Saxons settled the Tees.

	HITC Along the river bank
		The River Tees rises in the North Pennines at Tees Head near to Cross Fell and has for centuries marked the border between regions, tribes, countries and nations.
		Upon closer inspection, both the height of the river bank and the distinct grooves or markings on the Croft side give clues to another aspect of the River Tees.
		The River Tees rises in the Pennines and travels down to the sea at Middlesbrough across the agricultural valley, where Darlington originated as a large market town.

	History by Waterway from Trent and Mersey Canal
		Surveyed the Tees and proposed a canal from Stockton to Darlington and Staindrop to Winton with branches to the River Wear near Durham and the River Ure at Boroughbridge.
		He was asked by the commissioners to survey the upper river and recommended the replacement of 25 weirs and flash locks between Abingdon and Lechlade by a smaller number of pound locks.
		Having surveyed the whole river down from Maidenhead he reported that improvements to the river were a better course than the various canal bypass schemes that were being proposed.

	Three Rivers Cycleway - Bridges - River Tees
		Each half of the bridge has an 'anchor' span of 140 feet (42.6 metres) and then cantilevers across the river some 285 feet (86.8 metres) from the tower leg to meet its twin from the opposite bank.
		Constructed by Dorman Long and Co in 1934 it was the first vertical lift bridge in England and the biggest of its kind.
		At each end of the four river spans, the road crosses the roof of the barrage pavilion and then an approach bridge with two identical 17.5m spans.

		The Tees Navigation runs in from south-west to north-east for 24 miles, from Cross Fell in the Pennines to the North Sea near Middlesbrough.
		Now that the river no longer reflects the glow from steel works and shipyards, it is becoming more accessible to the people of Teesside and beyond.
		The Tees Barrage is 70 metres wide, 32 metres long and sits on a giant, reinforced raft comprising 16,500 cubic metres of concrete.

		Option B River transfer from the River Tees to the Ouse using a short length of pipeline to transfer water from the River Tees to, either the River Swale (Option B1) or to the River Wiske (Option B2) and then to the Ouse.
		In the Dee estuary the effects of reservoir water, released at a different temperature to river water, was observed to affect fish distribution at a distance of 50km.
		On the Swale increased water levels in the river could raise the level of the watertable and increase the risk of flooding to agricultural land, properties and industries.

		The River Tees is one of the largest rivers in the north of England and its mouth is situated on the North East Coast with its waters flowing into the North Sea.
		By the 1970s it was obvious the destruction of the river could not continue and plans were made for the long-term recovery of this valuable stretch of water and surrounding land (Renard 2000).
		The majority of the literature produced concerning the Tees barrage scheme is of an environmental or commercial nature and does all seem to support the barrage as being a positive development.

		The depth of water in the river was not enough to allow passage of heavily laden ships at low tide and vessels had to wait for eight tides to carry them as far as Yarm.
		Amongst the larger yards was the ‘South Stockton Yard’ on the Thornaby side of the river.
		The Tees saltbeds were discovered almost accidentally when local iron companies sank bore holes to check for coal measures.

		In some of its tributaries, and particularly the River Skerne, quality is only fair or poor as a result of discharges from treatment works, storm sewage overflows and surface water drainage from industrial and agricultural activities.

		A river with a short lag time and a high discharge is more likely to flood than a river with a lengthy lag time and a low discharge.
		The river is turbulent and clear, although often stained brown by the peat (semi-decomposed organic matter - too wet/acidic/cold for bacteria to break down) which covers much of the moorlands.
		The lower stretches of the Tees estuary are dredged (sediment is extracted) periodically to improve navigation by maintaining a deep-water channel.

		The name Portrack is named after the process by which barges used to navigate the meanders in the River Tees prior to the “cuts” begin finished, as they where lead around the bends by one horses or men fastened to the front of the barge.
		Prior to 1926 the River Tees was noted for its catches of salmon, sea trout, flounder, and eels; but by 1937 salmon had been eliminated from the river as a result of all of the pollution discharged by the industries on Teesside into the river.
		The volume of waste being discharged into the river resulted in a rise in the river water temperature and a decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.

	Foundation Breeders: North Yorkshire and the Tees
		The Vale of York, in the northern region Yorkshire, together with its side dales (of Swaledale and Wensleydale) and the Valley of the River Tees were particularly important in the development of the Thoroughbred.
		The Milbankes entered this area of the Tees valley where horse breeding was the local passion, and set about emulating their neighbours by establishing an important stud.
		A later breeder in the Tees Valley was John Bowes (1811 -1885), an distant relative of the late Queen Mother, who was born at Streatlam Castle, near Barnard Castle.

		It concludes: "The River Tees is not considered suitable for either whole body contact or incidental body contact water sports unless there is only a very marginal risk of water contact such as with motor boats and powered sailing boats and fishing.
