  • The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 37 The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall Osterley Park House was designed and built by Robert Adam (1728-1792) in the late 18th Century, between 1761 and the 1780s. It was commissioned by the Child Family and superseded a Tudor Mansion on the same site. Adam had ‘total design’ control of the construction and interior decoration of the house. This assumes that Adam also had a hand in overseeing if not selecting the building materials used. This brief report summarises the building and decorative stones used in the building, as observed following a visit to Osterley Park House in June 2017. Portico and Courtyard Portland Whitbed is used for the pediment, balustrade, quoins and other stone dressings on the exterior of Osterley Park House. It is also used for paving and for the columns supporting the pediment. This stone is identified by the pale grey colour with darker fossilised shells of oysters, which now weather slightly proud of the surface. Sedimentary bedding alignment can be detected in both columns and in some flagstones due to the concentration of shell beds. Portland Whitbed is the most commonly used of three main building stones extracted from the Portland Limestone Formation which occurs in outcrop and subcrop on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula on the Dorset Coast. Whitbed contains variable fossil content, predominantly in the form of oyster shells with well-preserved, laminated shells and also fragments of the reef-forming algae Solenpora portlandica. Two other units are also extracted as building stone; the Basebed and the Roach.

  • Film Tourism: What Is It, and How Can You Maximise the Beneits? Introduction
    Film Tourism: What is it, and how can you maximise the beneits? Introduction Film and TV production in the UK is on the rise. Production in 2014 was up a massive 35% from the year before to the highest ever recorded level. The vast majority of this growth has been spurred on by inward investment from international productions. Supported by a competitive tax credit regime for ilm and television drama, even more productions are expected to ilm here in the coming years, meaning that audiences around the world will see more of the UK’s rich and varied locations on screen than ever before. This ilm tourism toolkit provides guidance and case studies for potential ilm locations on how to maximise the potential of ilm tourism. New College Cloisters, Oxford where Harry Potter was ilmed © VisitEngland, VisitOxfordshire Alnwick Castle The Tourism Opportunity Film and TV productions can be a powerful way to add proile to a nation’s tourism ofer, both at home and abroad - they can help to showcase a country’s natural and cultural assets; inform, inspire and inluence travel decisions and help to market and grow local visitor economies. Creative England, in association with VisitEngland and Olsberg SPI, recently produced a new report to identify the value of ilm and television tourism to England and explore how local areas can capitalise on this growing phenomenon. Victoria Baths, Manchester © Mark Payne Key Findings • International core screen tourism in England (outside of London) was worth between £100 million-£140 million in 2014. • All eight locations at which surveys were carried were found to be attracting international or domestic visitors who said they would not have travelled there if they had not seen the associated ilm or television drama.

  • Dorset & the Jurassic Coast
    Dorset & the Jurassic Coast Dorset, on the south coast of Britain is well worth a visit if you’re interested in beautiful landscapes and dramatic coastlines. Over half the county is designated ‘an area of outstanding beauty’ and three quarters of the coastline is classed as a world heritage site. There are no motorways in Dorset, so you will have time to take in the scenery as you meander through rolling hills and picture perfect villages. The coastline has many things to offer. From Chesil Beach, the 18 mile long stretch of pebbles that has protection for its wildlife, to the limestone arches of Durdle Dor, part of the Lulworth Estate. How about letting the kids search for fossils in the limestone cliffs near Lyme Regis or letting them run amok at Maiden Castle, an Iron Age hill fort near Dorchester or Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck that was built by William the Conqueror. If you feel like a little nightlife, you could visit Bournemouth or Poole in the east of the County. Places to visit Corfe Castle One of Britain’s most iconic and evocative survivors of the English Civil War, partially demolished in 1646 by the Parliamentarians. Discover 1,000 years of our history as a royal palace and fortress. The Square, Corfe Castle, Wareham, BH20 5EZ www.nationaltrust.org.uk/corfe-castle Tel: 01929 481 294 Purbeck Shooting School Purbeck Shooting School established in 1995 and occupies one of the best sites in the UK and has been voted as the best shooting ground in the UK with over 50 acres of naturalistic ground on site.

Durdle Cove is a special gem exposing the Lewes and Seaford Chalk stratigraphy where these and new marker beds are identified and where sediments and tectonic structures provide clues to timing of movements that produced a Late Cretaceous pericline which grew into a Miocene monocline along the line of the underlying Purbeck Reverse Fault.

  • I.—On the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Weymouth and the Adjacent Parts of the Coast of Dorset
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Iowa on March 18, 2015 I.—On the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Weymouth and the adjacent Parts of the Coast of Dorset. BY THE REV. W. BUCKLAND, D.D. P.G.S. F.R.S. (PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.) AND H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.G.S. F.R.S. &c. [Read April 2 and 16, 1830.] 1EW parts of the world present in a small compass so instructive a series of geological phenomena as those which are displayed in the vertical cliffs of the south coast of England. An important portion of this coast, including the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Purbeck, has been well described by Mr. Webster*, and subsequently illustrated by Dr. Fittonf. In the Second Series of the Geological Transactions J, Mr. De la Beche has published sections of the coast from Bridport Harbour to Sidmouth; and in the same volume Dr. Buckland has given drawings of the cliffs from Sidmouth to Beer Head, and from Lyme Regis to the Isle of Portland §. The geological history of the neighbourhood of Weymouth has been partially illustrated by Prof. Sedgwick in the Annals of Philosophy ||; and it will be the object of this paper to supply its full details, illustrated by a map and sections; beginning our observations at the point where Mr. Webster's sections end, viz., at the Pro­ montory of White Nore, about eight miles E.N.E. of the town of Weymouth, and continuing them to Weymouth and Portland, and thence westward along the Chesil Bank to the cliffs west of Lyme Regis.
