This time of year is high risk from deer on the roads. It’s estimated there could be up to 74,000 deer related motor vehicle accidents in the U.K. this year. We remember next door neighbours in Slingsby having their cars written off within a fortnight of each other in 2014. Advice for drivers is HERE.

Malton Museum lecture 19th October 2016
by •
The Friends of Malton Museum lecture on Wednesday 19th October 2016 at 7.30 pm in the Library, East Wing, Malton School, Middlecave Road, Malton.
Dr David Mason, Principal Archaeologist of Durham County Council, will talk on “Binchester – the Pompeii of Northern England”. Admission is free to Friends, others are welcome at a charge of £3. The Friends say:-
“Impressed by the quality and extent of the remains he discovered, the director of the 1870s excavations at Binchester entitled his account ‘Vinovia: A Buried Roman City in the County of Durham’. While the term ‘city’ is inappropriate in this context the most recent campaign of excavation (2009-15) has shown that many of the buildings at Binchester are extraordinarily well-preserved; as this talk will demonstrate.”
