# North Scottish Royal Garrison Artillery

The **North Scottish Royal Garrison Artillery** and its successors were Scottish part-time coast defence units of the British Army from 1908 to 1961. Although the unit saw no active service, it supplied trained gunners to siege batteries engaged on the Western Front during World War I.

## Origin

When the Territorial Force (TF) was created from the old Volunteer Force under the Haldane Reforms of 1908, a new 'defended ports' artillery unit was formed with its headquarters (HQ) at Broughty Ferry, now located within the Dundee City council area on the north bank of the Firth of Tay. It was formed in the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) with personnel drawn from four former Volunteer units: 1st Aberdeenshire RGA, 1st Fifeshire RGA, 1st Forfarshire RGA and Highland RGA. The new unit consisted of three companies, rising to four by the outbreak of World War I in 1914:

**North Scottish RGA**

* HQ: Broughty Ferry
* No 1 Company: Territorial Barracks, Fonthill Road, Aberdeen
* No 2 Company: Cromarty
* No 3 Company: Broughty Ferry
* No 4 Company, Drill Hall, Montrose

The unit was responsible for manning the guns defending the Tay (2 × 6-inch and 2 × 4.7-inch) and Aberdeen (2 × 6-inch).

## World War I

### Mobilisation

On the outbreak of war the North Scottish RGA mobilised in Scottish Coast Defences under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel R.H. Adamson, TD. Shortly afterwards TF units were invited to volunteer for Overseas Service and on 15 August 1914, the War Office (WO) issued instructions to separate those men who had signed up for Home Service only, and form these into reserve units. On 31 August, the formation of a reserve or 2nd Line unit was authorised for each 1st Line unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for Overseas Service. The titles of these 2nd Line units would be the same as the original, but distinguished by a '2/' prefix. In this way duplicate companies and batteries were created, releasing the 1st Line units to be sent overseas.

By October 1914, the campaign on the Western Front was bogging down into Trench warfare and there was an urgent need for batteries of Siege artillery to be sent to France. The WO decided that the TF coastal gunners were well enough trained to take over many of the duties in the coastal defences, releasing Regular RGA gunners for service in the field, and 1st line RGA companies that had volunteered for overseas service had been authorised to increase their strength by 50 per cent.

Although complete defended ports units never left the UK, they did supply drafts of trained gunners to RGA units serving overseas. They also provided cadres to form complete new units for front line service. Two of the siege batteries formed in 1915–16 (67th and 109th) had cadres provided by the North Scottish RGA, while a number of others formed later in the Tay Defences (151st, 192nd, 231st, 254th, 267th, 283rd, 308th) may have included trained men from the unit among the recruits, although the Army Council Instructions did not specifically order this.

Under Army Council Instruction 686 of April 1917, the coastal defence companies of the RGA (TF) were reorganised. The North Scottish RGA had six companies serving in the Aberdeen and Tay Garrison (1/1st, 1/2nd, 1/3rd, 1/4th, 2/2nd and 2/3rd) and one (2/1st Company) in the Forth Garrison, was reduced to just three (numbered 1–3), which were to be kept up to strength with Regular recruits.

The Scottish Coastal Defences never saw action during the war. By April 1918 the Aberdeen and Tay defences under No 22 Coastal Fire Command (Broughty Ferry) consisted of:

### 67th Siege Battery, RGA

67th Siege Battery was formed under War Office Instruction 144 of October 1915 from one company of the North Scottish RGA (TF). The battery went out to the Western Front on 18 March 1916 manning four 8-inch howitzers. At this time batteries were switched between Heavy Artillery Groups (HAGs) as required. 67th Siege Bty was with 21st HAG by the middle of June.

#### Somme

21st Heavy Artillery Group was with Fourth Army preparing for that summer's 'Big Push' (the Battle of the Somme). It was one of the groups assigned to XV Corps facing the Fricourt Salient, a position of considerable strength in the German line. The bombardment programme was to extend over five days, U, V, W, X and Y, before the assault was launched on Z day. It began on 24 June, but on several days the weather was too bad for good air or ground observation and the programme was extended by two days (Y1 and Y2). When the infantry launched their assault at 07.30 on Z Day (1 July), XV Corps made better progress than most other parts of the front, capturing Mametz and Fricourt. It could have pushed forward on 2 July if its neighbouring formations had not already suffered disaster, but opposition stiffened as the day went on.

XV Corps continued fighting throughout the Somme Offensive, including the battles for High Wood, Delville Wood, Flers and the Transloy Ridges until the middle of October. 67th Siege Bty was transferred to 3rd HAG on 2 December. It was then taken out of the line for rest on 16 January 1917.

#### Arras

The battery joined VI Corps' Heavy Artillery in Third Army on 2 February 1917, employed in digging positions while their guns were not in action. It was assigned to 10th HAG supporting VI Corps in the forthcoming Battle of Arras. There were many more guns available for this attack and the artillery plan was much more carefully worked out than previous operations. VI Corps' attack on 9 April was relatively successful. However, the follow-up over succeeding days was less successful, the guns having to be moved forward through mud and destruction, and the later bombardments were rushed and less effective.

#### Ypres

67th Siege Bty transferred to Fifth Army in the Ypres Salient in 19 May. It was then made up to six howitzers and was joined in by personnel from newly arrived 318th Siege Bty. On 29 June the expanded battery joined 99th HAG in Second Army as Second and Fifth Armies prepared for the forthcoming Third Ypres Offensive. Second Army's role was to provide flank support, but as the campaign bogged down it took over direction of the battle in September. The Battles of the Menin Road, Polygon Wood and Broodseinde were highly successful because of the weight of artillery brought to bear on German positions. But as the offensive continued with the Poelcappelle and First and Second Battles of Passchendaele, the tables were turned: British batteries were clearly observable from the Passchendaele Ridge and were subjected to CB fire, while their own guns sank into the mud and became difficult to aim and fire.

#### Later war

67th Siege Bty was rested from 23 December to 15 January 1918. On 1 February 1918 the HAGs were converted into permanent RGA brigades. 67th Siege Bty remained with 62nd Brigade with Third Army until the Armistice. Part of Third Army was engaged in the desperate fighting of the German spring offensive, but overall it was not obliged to retreat as far or to abandon as many heavy guns as Fifth Army further south. The German offensive had been halted on Third Army's front by 5 April.

Third Army joined in the Allies' victorious Hundred Days Offensive with the Battle of Albert on 23/24 August when it swept across the old Somme battlefields. By the end of August 62nd Bde RGA was with XVII Corps, attacking the Drocourt-Quéant Switch Line on 2 September. The advance was well-prepared by the heavy artillery and the attack was a major success

Third Army continued its advance through the Hindenburg Line positions and across the Canal du Nord. On 8 October 62nd Bde supported XVII Corps in encircling Cambrai and compelling its evacuation by the enemy. On 12 October XVII Corps probed forwards towards the River Selle. The 8th Battalion Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey) went forward supported by 62nd Bde and patrols from the Queen's managed to cross the river by the one remaining girder of a blown bridge. Third Army resumed its attack (the Battle of the Selle) on 20 October to clear the remaining area west of the Selle. No preliminary barrage was fired, the infantry attacking at 02.00 under a full moon to achieve surprise, supported by 62nd Bde.

The last set-piece attack was the Battle of the Sambre. Zero hour for Third Army was 05.30 on 4 November, and XVII Corps attacked with complete success – some units advancing beyond their objectives – supported by 62nd Bde and many other guns, some of which had to move forward during the morning to bring down fire on the further objectives in the afternoon.

By now the offensive had turned into a pursuit, and many of the heavy batteries had to be left behind. Fighting was ended on 11 November by the Armistice with Germany. 67th Siege Battery was retained in the postwar army, but disappeared before 1922.

### 109th Siege Battery, RGA

109th Siege Battery, RGA, was formed at Dover on 14 February 1916. A cadre of three officers and 78 other ranks (the establishment of a TF RGA company) was sent from the North Scottish RGA to form the basis of the new battery. Although the Army Council Instruction specified that the establishment of this batch of new batteries would be those for 6-inch guns, 8-inch or 9.2-inch howitzers, when 109th Siege Bty went overseas it was equipped with four 6-inch howitzers. It was apparently never raised to the 6-gun establishment that most batteries achieved in 1917.

The battery went out to the Western Front on 7 June 1916 and joined 30th HAG with Fourth Army in time for the Battle of the Somme. It moved to 57th HAG on 15 February 1917, then when 57th moved to First Army, 109th Siege Bty moved to 62nd HAG and remained with Fourth Army. At this time, Fourth Army was following the German retirement to the Hindenburg Line (Operation Alberich) and gun sites and ammunition dumps had to be laboriously relocated. Later, Fourth Army spent the summer months on the Flanders coast, waiting to cooperate with a breakthrough at the Ypres Salient that never came. 109th Siege Bty moved to 28th HAG on 19 May, to 27th HAG on 30 June, 44th (South African) HAG on 8 August, then to 81st HAG (Fifth Army) on 29 September and then to 72nd HAG with Third Army. 72nd HAG moved to Second Army in the Ypres Salient on 9 November, but the Third Ypres Offensive was just petering out, and soon afterwards Second Army HQ moved to the Italian Front and Fourth Army HQ took over. 109th Siege Bty moved to 47th HAG on 18 December and remained with it (as 47th Brigade, RGA, from 1 February 1918) until the Armistice.

47th Brigade, RGA, was defined as an '8-inch Howitzer' brigade, but that was the largest equipment; three out of its four batteries, including 109th, were armed with 6-inch howitzers. 47th Brigade was transferred from Fourth to Fifth Army on 14 March 1918, and was therefore caught up in the German Spring Offensive and the 'Great Retreat'. It moved back to Fourth Army's command on 1 May.

The battery took part in Fourth Army's advances during the Hundred Days Offensive. By the Battle of the Selle on 17 October the 6-inch howitzer batteries of 47th Bde were supporting XIII Corps, with vigorous CB work and concentrations on important localities. XIII Corps' follow-up attack on 23 October was accompanied by equally powerful support, even though poor weather on the preceding days limited air observation and spotting of enemy batteries.

XIII Corps halted its pursuit on 9 November and only light forces maintained touch with the retreating Germans until the Armistice. 109th Siege Battery was to have become C Bty in LXXIII Bde RGA in the postwar army, but was disbanded after the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

## Interwar

The North Scottish RGA was placed in suspended animation in 1919 and reformed in 1920 with two batteries derived from the former Nos 3 and 4 Companies. The following year the TF was reconstituted as the Territorial Army (TA) and the unit was renamed as the **North Scottish Coast Brigade, RGA**, with 173 and 174 Coast Batteries. 'Coast Brigade' was changed to 'Heavy Brigade' when the RGA was subsumed into the Royal Artillery (RA) in 1924. The reformed unit had its HQ and 174 Heavy Bty at Queen Street, Broughty Ferry, and 173 Heavy Bty at Fonthill Barracks, Aberdeen, later at Wellington Street, Montrose. It formed part of the coast defence troops in 51st (Highland) Divisional Area.

### 62nd (Scottish) Medium Brigade, RA

On 1 April 1934, the unit was converted to the role of mobile medium artillery for service in the field, initially as 62nd (North Scottish) Medium Brigade, RA, then from January 1936 as **62nd (Scottish) Medium Brigade, RA**. It was joined by 160 Bty from the Forth Coast Bde at Edinburgh and 172 Bty from the Clyde Coast Bde at Helensburgh.

* HQ: The Castle, Broughty Ferry
* 160 (Forth) Medium Bty: Easter Road Barracks, Edinburgh
* 172 (Clyde) Medium Bty (Howitzers): Drill Hall, Helensburgh
* 173 (North Scottish) Medium Bty (Howitzers): Queen Street, Broughty Ferry
* 174 (North Scottish) Medium Bty (Howitzers): Fonthill Barracks, Aberdeen

At this time medium brigades consisted of one battery of six 60-pounder guns and three of six 6-inch howitzers, all of World War I vintage but which by 1937 had been modernised with pneumatic tyres.

### Fife Heavy Regiment, RA

The TA underwent expansion and reorganisation after the Munich Crisis of 1938. On 1 November 1938 the brigade was redesignated a regiment under new RA nomenclature, and 160 Med Bty reverted to 160 Hvy Bty under Forth Heavy Rgt. Then on 28 November 172 Med Bty was converted into 216 Ant-Tank Bty of 54th (Queen's Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry) Anti-Tank Regiment, while 174 Med Bty joined 56th (Highland) Medium Rgt about the same time. Then, just before the outbreak of war in 1939, the Regimental HQ and remaining 173 Bty of 62nd Med Regiment were joined by 163 Bty at Hunter Street, Kirkcaldy, from the Forth Heavy Rgt and re-converted to the coast defence role as the **Fife Heavy Regiment, RA**. Regimental HQ moved across the Tay to Kirkcaldy in Fifeshire.

A 1927 report on coastal defences by the Committee of Imperial Defence had made recommendations for the defence of 15 'Class A' home ports, including the Firth of Forth (Scheme 7), but little was done to modernise them before the outbreak of World War II. Defences for the Tay were considered in 1930, but Dundee was designated a 'Class C' port and by 1939 was being considered for removal from the list.

## World War II

The TA's coast defences were mobilised on the outbreak of war in September 1939. (Since 1926 the coast defences of the UK had been manned by the TA alone.) After the Dunkirk evacuation a crash programme of coastal defence works was initiated against the invasion threat. The coastal artillery regiments were reorganised again in July 1940, and the Fife Heavy Regiment in the Forth Defences was split into two:

* 504th (Fife) Coast Rgt
    + Regimental HQ (RHQ) and A, B, C and D Btys
* 507th (Fife) Coast Rgt
    + RHQ and A Bty

On 1 April 1941 the batteries were reorganised as follows:

* A/504 Coast Bty became:
    + 245 Coast Bty at Inchcolm
    + 246 Coast Bty at Kent Works
* B/504 Coast Bty became:
* 247 Coast Bty at Inchmickery
* C/504 Coast Bty became:
* 248 Coast Bty at Cramond Island
* 249 Coast Bty at Dalmeny
* D/504 Coast Bty became:
    + 250 Coast Bty at Charles Hill (near Braefoot Bay)
* A/507 Coast Bty became:

Between 15 and 21 May 1941, 246 Coast Bty was exchanged for 176 Coast Bty from 533rd (Orkney) Coast Rgt, and 176 took over the battery at Kent Works.

At their height in September 1941, the coastal defences of the Forth comprised the following guns:

(At the same time, Dundee had 4 × 6-inch and Montrose had 2 × 6-inch. The Broughty Ferry guns were manned by 503rd (Forth) Coast Rgt and by the local Home Guard.)

However, as the invasion threat receded, these defences were seen as absorbing excessive manpower. In 1942 507th Coast Rgt was placed in suspended animation and its only battery (258) was expanded into a battery and Fire Command in 506th (Forth) Coast Rgt. RHQ of 504th Coast Rgt moved to Inchcolm in the Firth of Forth as part of Inchcolm Fire Command within Fixed Defences Forth.

By 1944, serious naval attacks on the United Kingdom could be discounted and the War Office began disbanding surplus coastal units and redeploying their personnel. On 1 April 1944 RHQ 504th (Fife) Coast Rgt was placed in suspended animation and its batteries (176, 245, 247, 248 and 250) came under the command of 505th (Forth) Coast Rgt. 186 Coast Bty itself passed into suspended animation on 1 June 1945.

## Postwar

When the TA was reconstituted on 1 January 1947, 504th and 507th Coast Rgts were amalgamated once more to form **362 Medium Regiment** with RHQ at Montrose. The new unit was in 84 (Field) Army Group Royal Artillery (AGRA). When 84 AGRA was disbanded in 1950, the regiment reorganised on 1 July 1950 as **362 (Highland) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment**. This was short-lived, and on 1 February 1952 the regiment amalgamated with 886 Locating Bty as **862 Locating Bty** with Battery HQ at Dundee.

There were further cuts to the TA in 1961 when the battery amalgamated with 275 and 276 (Highland) Field Rgts as 400 (Highland) (Aberdeen/Angus) Field Regiment, with 862 Bty forming **Q (Arbroath/Montrose) Battery**. After further mergers, the regiment was disbanded in 1975, but since 1986 105 (Scottish) Air Defence Rgt has been the designated successor unit.

## Honorary Colonels

The following served as Honorary Colonel of the unit:

* Col J. Davidson, appointed 8 December 1913
* Lt-Col R.H. Adamson, CBE, TD, former CO, appointed 8 February 1922
* Col J.Y.H. Ridout, DSO, appointed 24 March 1937

# North Scituate station

**North Scituate station** is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Scituate, Massachusetts. It serves the Greenbush Line. The station, located at 777 Country Way in North Scituate village, is the primary station for Scituate, while nearby Greenbush station primarily serves as a park-and-ride for adjacent communities. Like the other stations on the Greenbush Line, North Scituate consists of a single full-length high-level platform which provides accessible boarding to the line's single track.

## History

The modern Greenbush Line was originally built as the South Shore Railroad, which opened to Cohasset in 1849. The Old Colony-backed Duxbury and Cohasset Railroad, chartered in 1867, which opened from Cohasset to Duxbury in 1871, including a stop at North Scituate. Three other stations were, at various times, located in Scituate: Egypt station at Captain Pierce Road, Scituate (also called Scituate Harbor) at First Parish Road, and Greenbush at Driftway.

After financial troubles in the 1870s, the Duxbury and Cohasset was joined with the South Shore under the fold of the Old Colony Railroad in 1877. A new freight house was built in 1879, and the existing passenger station was expanded. The Old Colony was leased to the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad in 1893.

Ridership on the Greenbush Line diminished in the 1930s due to increased competition from automobiles. The line enjoyed a brief uptick in traffic in World War II with the construction of the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot and the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot Annex. The number of daily trips was increased from 4 to 8 after World War II under Frederick C. Dumaine, Jr., and modern diesel trains including Budd RDCs were introduced in the 1950s. However, the New Haven Railroad continued to lose money on the service, and after Dumaine was ousted the railroad announced all trains would cease running in 1958. Only an emergency subsidy by the state kept trains running until June 30, 1959 when the Southeast Expressway opened and all passenger train service ended. The former Spanish-style station, built in 1908-09, is located on Gannett Road near the modern station. It was converted for commercial use by 1962.

Calls for the former Old Colony lines to be reactivated began in the 1980s; the Plymouth/Kingston Line and Middleborough/Lakeville Line were reopened in 1997. After much controversy surrounding various aspects of the $534 million project, construction of the Greenbush Line was completed in mid-2007. The Greenbush line and North Scituate station were opened for full service on October 31, 2007 after a ceremonial train the previous day.

**North Pack Monadnock** or **North Pack Monadnock Mountain** is a 2,276-foot (694 m) monadnock in south-central New Hampshire, at the northern end of the Wapack Range of mountains. It lies within Greenfield and Temple, New Hampshire; the 22-mile (35 km) Wapack Trail traverses the mountain. Ledges on the summit offer long views north to the White Mountains and west to Mount Monadnock. Pack Monadnock Mountain is directly to the south along the Wapack ridgeline.

The east side of the mountain drains into the Souhegan River watershed, thence into the Merrimack River and Atlantic Ocean; the west side drains into the Contoocook River, thence into the Merrimack River.

## Etymology

"Monadnock" is derived from the Abenaki language, and indicates a mountain surrounded by relatively flat terrain. According to local tradition, the word "pack" is an Abenaki word for "little". Thus "Pack Monadnock" (Little Monadnock) refers to its relationship to the higher Mount Monadnock, 3,165 feet (965 m), 11 miles (18 km) to the west. It should not be confused with the similarly named peak Little Monadnock Mountain, 17 miles (27 km) to the west.

title: North Yalgogrin

abstract: North Yalgogrin is a locality in the Bland Shire local government area of New South Wales. There once was a village there, named Yalgogrin, but better known as Yalgogrin North. The area now known as North Yalgogrin, lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people. The name is said to be derived from a Wiradjuri language word Yalgaa, meaning dried up and hard, referring to a dead box gum tree. There are a number of former mines in the vicinity. The mining in the area was mainly for gold. Alluvial gold was discovered around August 1893, about eight miles west of what became the village. Quartz reefs were found soon afterwards, with more discovered in 1894, leading to the establishment of the village. There was a stamper battery there, which had ceased operation by mid-1905, but resumed operation later the same year. It operated sporadically, as late as the 1930s. The last mining occurred in 1954, but the area remains of interest for gold exploration. The village of Yalgogrin was proclaimed in 1895. It lay on 130 acres of land excised from a block of pastoral leasehold land, known as 'Yalgogoring North'. The village of also became known as Yalgogrin North, possibly after the original landholding, possibly due to another locality, Yalgogrin South—about 40 km south—but most likely because that was the name of its post office and its postal address, from 1894. It was also, but far less frequently, called by the modern-day name of the locality, North Yalgogrin. It was known colloquially, by locals, as 'The Gog'. There were a number of mines just west of what became the village site, but there were many more mines in the district. Yangogrin became the centre for the surrounding mining district, in the absence of other towns and villages in the area. Records of production are incomplete, but the goldfield produced more than 200 kg of gold, between 1898 and 1904.By 1912, gold mining was still happening but not the main economic activity of the area. Between 1893 and 1911, much of the surrounding land was cleared of its timber for mining and building purposes. Gangs of ethnic-Chinese land clearers ringbarked and cleared land for wheat growing. The larger grazing runs had been broken up into smaller farms. The village, although smaller in population, was more settled, as a service town for the surrounding agricultural district. A railway league was formed to campaign for Yalgogrin to be on the route a proposed railway between Barmedman and Rankin Springs. In 1916, a final decision was taken that Yalgogrin would not be on the line. Yalgogrin was not on any of the railway lines that were built in the district, from 1913 to 1929. It declined relative to newly-established places that had railway stations and grain sidings, like Weethalle, Kikoira, Ungarie, and especially Tallimba. Surrounded on all sides by such places, Yalgogrin essentially was pulled apart by their economic gravity. The Royal Hotel, also known as Barnett's Hotel—both licence and building—was transferred, in 1923, to Tallimba Siding on the newly-opened Rankins Springs railway line, even before the new town of Tallimba had been laid out. The police station closed in 1927, with the police presence being relocated to Tallimba. Yalgogrin still had sporting teams and tennis matches, into the 1930s, but increasingly the surrounding area came to rely upon Tallimba for its services. By the early 1940s, it has become what was described as a 'small locality'. There was a school there, known as Yalgrogin, from 1895 to 1970. There was a post office there, known as Yalgogrin North, from 1894 to 1985. It had an Anglican church, St Mary's the Virgin, completed in 1919; the church building had been relocated from Wyalong. By 1977, the church's structure had deteriorated and was no longer safe. The old church was demolished and the disused school building repurposed as a church. The village had a public hall, still standing in 1989. There is a cemetery to the north of the old village site. In 1985 and 1991, blocks of land in the old village were put up for sale to recover rates left overdue by their—by then mainly deceased—owners. In late 1980, the Village of Yalgogrin—still better known as Yalgogrin North—officially ceased to exist, becoming a locality, Yalgogrin, under the Geographical Names Act (1966). In 1995, Yalgogrin became designated as a historical locality, under the same Act, and the name of the locality officially became North Yalgogrin. The name Yalgogrin survives as the name of the local Rural Fire Brigade and of a rest area on the Mid-Western Highway, both near the site of the former village.

Between 1893 and 1911, much of the surrounding land was cleared of its timber for mining and building purposes. Gangs of ethnic-Chinese land clearers ringbarked and cleared land for wheat growing. The larger grazing runs had been broken up into smaller farms. The village, although smaller in population, was more settled, as a service town for the surrounding agricultural district.

A railway league was formed to campaign for Yalgogrin to be on the route a proposed railway between Barmedman and Rankin Springs. In 1916, a final decision was taken that Yalgogrin would not be on the line.

Yalgogrin was not on any of the railway lines that were built in the district, from 1913 to 1929. It declined relative to newly-established places that had railway stations and grain sidings, like Weethalle, Kikoira, Ungarie, and especially Tallimba. Surrounded on all sides by such places, Yalgogrin essentially was pulled apart by their economic gravity. The Royal Hotel, also known as Barnett's Hotel—both licence and building—was transferred, in 1923, to Tallimba Siding on the newly-opened Rankins Springs railway line, even before the new town of Tallimba had been laid out. The police station closed in 1927, with the police presence being relocated to Tallimba.

Yalgogrin still had sporting teams and tennis matches, into the 1930s, but increasingly the surrounding area came to rely upon Tallimba for its services. By the early 1940s, it has become what was described as a 'small locality'.

There was a school there, known as Yalgrogin, from 1895 to 1970. There was a post office there, known as Yalgogrin North, from 1894 to 1985. It had an Anglican church, St Mary's the Virgin, completed in 1919; the church building had been relocated from Wyalong. By 1977, the church's structure had deteriorated and was no longer safe. The old church was demolished and the disused school building repurposed as a church. The village had a public hall, still standing in 1989. There is a cemetery to the north of the old village site.

In 1985 and 1991, blocks of land in the old village were put up for sale to recover rates left overdue by their—by then mainly deceased—owners.

In late 1980, the Village of Yalgogrin—still better known as Yalgogrin North—officially ceased to exist, becoming a locality, Yalgogrin, under the Geographical Names Act (1966). In 1995, Yalgogrin became designated as a historical locality, under the same Act, and the name of the locality officially became North Yalgogrin. The name Yalgogrin survives as the name of the local Rural Fire Brigade and of a rest area on the Mid-Western Highway, both near the site of the former village.

# North Yarmouth and Freeport Baptist Meetinghouse

The **North Yarmouth and Freeport Baptist Meetinghouse**, also known as the **Old Baptist Meeting House**, is an historic church on Hillside Street in Yarmouth, Maine. Built in 1796 and twice altered in the 19th century, it is believed to be the oldest surviving church built for a Baptist congregation in the state of Maine. It is now owned by the town and maintained by a local non-profit organization.

## Description

The North Yarmouth and Freeport Baptist Meetinghouse is located on the west side of Hillside Street, a short way south of Maine State Route 115 on the west side of Yarmouth village. It is a tall single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. The front facade is five bays wide, the central three projecting in a gable-topped section from which the church tower rises. The central section has three doors, the outer ones topped by lancet-arched windows, the center one framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature. Windows on the front are tall lancet-arched sash, while those on the sides are rectangular sash. The tower has a square first stage, with an open octagonal belfry topped by a conical flush-boarded spire.

## History

The church building was constructed in 1796 by the local Baptist congregation. Reverend Thomas Green, one of its seven original members, was elected its first pastor. In 1889 the Baptist congregation moved to its current location at 346 Main Street. The following year, George W. Hammond and his wife, Ellen, purchased the meetinghouse and re-opened it as the Hillside Library and Antiquarian Society. In 1910 they donated the building to the town, and it was used for town meetings until 1946. During World War II the building was used by the Civilian Defense System as an observation post, looking for enemy aircraft. In 1946 the Village Improvement Society took over responsibility for the interior of the building. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Major renovations occurred in the early 2000s. The building is currently available for weddings and other events.

## Cemetery

The Old Baptist Cemetery is adjacent to the meetinghouse on its southern side. Immediately inside the gate, on the left-hand side, is a billboard-style trio of gravestones — one of two in the cemetery, but only around forty are known to have been found in Maine.

# North Providence, Rhode Island

**North Providence** is a town in Providence County, Rhode Island, United States. The population was 34,114 at the 2020 census.

## Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Town of North Providence has a total area of 5.8 square miles (15 km2), of which, 5.7 square miles (15 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) is water. Since North Providence is officially incorporated as a town, it maintains the distinction as the smallest town in the smallest state. Although nearby Central Falls, at 1.29 square miles is geographically smaller than North Providence, Central Falls is incorporated as a city.

The Town of North Providence is bordered by Providence to the south, Johnston to the west, Smithfield and Lincoln to the north and Pawtucket to the east. Within the town, there are multiple neighborhoods and villages, such as Allendale, Centredale, Fruit Hill, Greystone, Louisquisset, Lymansville, Marieville, Woodville and Geneva. Additionally, the town is home to three large recreational parks, including Captain Stephen Olney Park, Governor John Notte Memorial Park and Peter Randall State Park. Notable bodies of water in the town include Canada Pond, Wenscott Reservoir and the Woonasquatucket River. As of 2020, the town has a total of seven elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school.

## History

Settled shortly after the arrival of Roger Williams in 1636, North Providence was incorporated as a town in 1765. The originally incorporated town area included sections of the present-day cities of Providence and Pawtucket. Early colonial settlers in North Providence built stone-ender houses, such as the Joseph Smith House (1705) at 109 Smithfield Road, which is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1793, the first fully mechanized cotton-spinning mill in the United States, Slater Mill, was founded by Samuel Slater on the banks of the Blackstone River in North Providence. In 1874, the eastern section of North Providence where Slater Mill is located became Pawtucket, resulting in a large population decrease.

From its incorporation, North Providence was governed by a Town Council with a Town Clerk and a Town Treasurer. In 1974, the residents of North Providence elected their first mayor, Salvatore Mancini, who served the town in this capacity for 20 years. Since the installation of the first town mayor, North Providence has had four mayors who were elected by town residents and one mayor who was elected by the Town Council when the incumbent mayor at the time, A. Ralph Mollis, was appointed to the position of Secretary of State of Rhode Island. Below is a list of mayors who have served North Providence:

* Salvatore Mancini (1974–1994)
* G. Richard Fossa (1994–1996)
* A. Ralph Mollis (1996–2007)
* John Sisto (2007–2007)
* Charles Lombardi (2007–present)

From at least 1921–1971, the Centredale Manor area of North Providence was contaminated by textile, chemical, and drum recycling industries that discarded toxic liquids and wastes into the surrounding soil and river (EPA 1999). In 2000, the United States Environmental Protection Agency declared a 9-acre (36,000 m2) area including parts of Centredale Manor and Brook Village, both affordable housing units for senior citizens, a superfund site. The agency documented high levels of toxic chemicals like dioxin, VOCs, and PCBs in fish as well as soil from the area. Because of this the area has been fenced off from the community with warning signs against eating contaminated fish, and is undergoing evaluation for clean-up.

On May 4, 2010, three members of the North Providence Town Council were arrested by the FBI and charged in Federal Court with taking a $25,000 bribe so that a developer could build a supermarket in their town. After the arrests, Councilman Mansuet J. Giusti would become the new Town Council President and lead the remaining members out of difficult times to regain the trust of the public.

## Recreation

### Parks

The town has two major parks, Governor John A. Notte Memorial Park and Capt. Stephen Olney Memorial Park, both have various sports fields, playgrounds; Gov. Notte Park has a freshwater beach and campground.

In 2015, Camp Meehan opened at Gov. Notte Park. Mayor Lombardi championed the sale of the land to the town of North Providence after it was to be built over by condominium housing. The Mayor allowed the land to be beautified using grant funds which were awarded to the town. Camp Meehan includes a newly renovated, modern building overlooking the Wenscott Reservoir which can house 250 guests for weddings and other such events. The Camp Meehan Hall held its first event in 2016.

### Events

North Providence has always been filled with lively events. Currently there are a few major annual events:

* Mayor Lombardi's Fishing Derby is held each year at Governor Notte Park and receives wide turnouts from towns over.
* The Memorial Day Parade Celebration is a large event which includes town wide events, a large parade route leads to Gov. Notte Park where a festival is held.
* Independence Day celebrations are usually held at Gov. Notte Park as well, a fireworks display is a crowning part of this celebration.
* Pumpkins in the Park is also held at Halloween time, and like most events uses Notte Park as its setting. Residents are encouraged to see pumpkins put on display by the towns Youth Commission.
* The town also lights a Christmas tree on the front lawn of the town hall each year. It is a joyous occasion which includes refreshments, games, and music by Stephen Morrison and the North Providence High School Band, which provides entertainment for many of the towns events.

# Northpoint Bible College

**Northpoint Bible College and Seminary** is a private Pentecostal Bible college and seminary in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The college's sole purpose is to teach and train students for Pentecostal ministry for the spread of the Christian gospel. It offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Biblical Studies and Practical Theology.

## History

The School of the Prophets was founded as a volunteer-run institution in 1924 by Rev. Christine Gibson at East Providence, Rhode Island. It was also at one time named Mount Zion Bible School. Later, as the Zion Bible Institute, it was closely associated with Zion Gospel Temple, originally a Holiness congregation founded in the late 19th century by Rev. Alphaeus Cleveland and subsequently pastored by Rev. Christine Gibson. The congregation later affiliated with the Pentecostal revival and continued as an independent Pentecostal church named Zion Gospel Temple. The nearby Zion Faith Home, Inc., a retirement home for missionaries, was also connected with the school and church for many years while the campus was located in East Providence, Rhode Island.

In 1985, Zion Bible Institute relocated to the former campus of Barrington College in Barrington, Rhode Island. At the time the institute was under the leadership of Dr. N. Benjamin Crandall, president from 1985 to 2000. The centerpiece of the campus was the former Peck Mansion, a building listed on the registry of historic sites for the state of Rhode Island. Renamed as the Gibson Memorial Building in honor of the institute's founder, it housed the President's Office, a variety of additional offices, and the library.

Following Crandall, Rev. George Cope served as president from 2000 to 2005. The college became affiliated with the Assemblies of God USA in 2000. In 2001, it was accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education.

In 2007 Reverend Charles Crabtree, a former assistant superintendent of the Assemblies of God, accepted the position of president. Also in 2007, David Green, CEO and founder of the Hobby Lobby chain of hobby stores, purchased the former Bradford College campus in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The 18-acre (73,000 m2) campus was given to Zion Bible College, and Zion was to fund the repairs and upgrades needed before commencing operations there. The college reopened on the new campus in the fall of 2008, and enrollment doubled from 200 to 400.

In 2012, the school's trustees changed the college's name to Northpoint Bible College, effective January 1, 2013.

In 2012, the Rev. Dr. J. David Arnett was elected to serve as the eighth president. He led the college through many programmatic and campus upgrades.

In 2013, the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education approved the addition of Master's Degrees and Associate of Arts Degrees.

In 2017, the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement approved Northpoint to offer postsecondary distance education courses and programs online.

A Hispanic Seminary (Northpoint Universidad Bíblica y Seminario) was added in the fall of 2022.

## Campus

The campus, formerly that of Bradford College, is located in the Bradford section of Haverhill at 320 South Main Street, Haverhill, MA 01835.

## Academics

The college offers Associate in Arts, Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts degrees. All bachelor's degree students double major in Biblical Studies and a second major of their choice.

## Affiliations

NPBC is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education. It is approved the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education and Michigan Department of Higher Education. The institution is also endorsed by the Assemblies of God USA.

As of the fall of 2024, NorthPoint Bible College remains unaccredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), the major regional governing body that determines and approves the academic standing of accredited Bachelor of Arts and Science degree programs.

## Student life

Chapel is held Monday through Thursday. Attendance is mandatory for all full-time students. On one Friday per month, there are class prayers.

There is a dress code for class attendance, chapel attendance, and leisure time.

In 2016, the college was granted an exemption from some of the provisions of Title IX that forbid discrimination on the basis of sex.

### Residence life

Unmarried students without an established residence in the area are required to live on campus while attending Northpoint Bible College. There is one dormitory for men (Gallagher Hall) and one for women (Gibson Hall). Some married students live on the upper floors of Academy Hall. Unmarried students who are not yet in their senior year are held to nightly campus curfew, room curfew, and weekly room inspections.

## Distance education

Northpoint Bible College has satellite distance-education campuses in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Crestwood, Kentucky, Texarkana, Arkansas, and Los Angeles, California. Courses are also offered online.

The **Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority** (NCTTCA) is an intergovernmental body, encompassing six countries in Eastern Africa, tasked with the job of coordinating transport infrastructure improvements.

The Northern Corridor includes the Port of Mombasa, the international road network, rail networks, inland waterways and pipeline transport. The core element of the Northern Corridor is the port of Mombasa, the largest port in Kenya, which connects Kenya and five other landlocked countries to the sea and with the world economy. The six countries covered by the NCTTCA are Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Northern corridor also serves northern Tanzania and parts of Ethiopia.

## Location

The headquarters of the NCTTCA and the organization's Permanent Secretariat are located at House 1196, Links Road, in Nyali, a neighborhood with Mombasa, the largest port and second-largest city of Kenya. The geographical coordinates of the Authority headquarters are 04°02'59.0"S, 39°41'30.0"E (Latitude:-4.049722; Longitude:39.691667).

## Overview

One of its main objectives is to build standard gauge railways connecting Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and the eastern parts of The Democratic Republic of the Congo, to the Kenyan port city of Mombasa.

A refined oil products pipeline, carrying jet fuel, petrol and kerosene is also under development. The pipeline, measuring 20 inches (51 cm) in diameter, is being laid from the Kenyan coast to Uganda and Rwanda. The 450 kilometres (280 mi) pipeline will replace an estimated 700 oil tanker trucks that transport fuel by road between Mombasa and Nairobi, on a daily basis, according to the Kenya Pipeline Company.

During an interview with *Billboard* in 2013, when asked about the meaning behind the song, Bieber answered: "Because at the end of the day, there's nothing like us, you know? That's just it. It is what is it. People are going to relate to that." The singer further elaborated: "I'm not in the happiest place that I've ever been, I'm trying to get through what I'm going through.

abstract: Northern Pacific-BNSF Minneapolis Rail Bridge is a combination plate girder bridge and truss bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was built in 1884 by the Northern Pacific Railway. The bridge was originally built in 1884 with five through-trusses. In 1927, it was renovated with nine plate-girder spans. In 1963, to provide upstream river navigation, two girder spans and three regular piers were removed to make room for a Warren truss span over the main channel, set on two heavier piers. This work took almost two years. The bridge was originally built to provide access to Northern Pacific's yards just north of downtown Minneapolis. By the 1980s the yards were mostly gone, but the bridge remains as a link to industries located north of downtown that still require rail service by Northern Pacific successor BNSF.

# Nottawa Stone School

The **Nottawa Stone School** is a schoolhouse located at 26456 M-86 (at Filmore Road) near Nottawa, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

## History

In 1870, the previous frame structure serving the local Nottawa school district was deemed too dilapidated to continue service. The director of the district at the time was John W. Schermerhorn; it is believed that Schermerhorn designed the school building after the school he attended as a boy in Schenectady, New York. The school was completed in 1870 for a cost of about $3000. Although originally designed to seat 150 pupils, it probably served around 50 when it first opened. Larger desks were soon installed, reducing the capacity to about 70 students. In the lat 1880s, a second room was added, bringing the total capacity up to about 130 students.

The school remained in use until the late 1950s. In 1967, the Kalamazoo Valley Intermediate School System (now the St. Joseph County Intermediate School District) refurbished the school to allow school classes to use the building for a day to re-enact how school was held in the 1870s. As of 2017, this program is still operating.

## Description

The Nottawa Stone School is a single-story building containing two sections connected together in an L-shape and a small rear addition. Both main sections were originally built to house a single classroom, and the addition to house restrooms and storage. The original section of the school is built from fieldstone and measures 48 feet by 34 feet. The second portion is built from brick and measures 35 feet by 22 feet. The stone section is gable-roofed and has rounded, arched door and windows.

On the interior of the original section, a c. 1870 rural school is set up. It contains slate blackboards, a raised platform for the teacher, wainscoting on the walls, and an oiled wood floor. The later brick portion contains a country store display.
