The entry for Dursley and Berkeley, which also covered Cambridge, Uley and Newport, gave a comprehensive listing of the many trades people in the area together with a good gazetteer of what the town was like at that time. The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

  • Field Trip Report the Tortworth Inlier Sunday 26Th April 2015. Dave
    Field Trip Report The Tortworth Inlier Sunday 26th April 2015. Dave Green, our group leader, showed us some of the fascinating geology, to the north-east of the city of Bristol. This area is relatively flat but has some undulating topography as it runs into the Vale of Berkeley. It includes the northern part of the once busy Bristol Coalfield. This part of South Gloucestershire is largely rural, dotted with farms, small villages and little townships. It is enclosed by the Mendip Hills to the south, the Cotswold Escarpment to the north and to the east, and the Severn estuary to the west. The area is drained by small streams and rivers like the Frome, whose waters skirt the contours and tumble into the Severn Estuary. Palaeozoic rocks can be found exposed here, while to the east and north east younger Mesozoic rocks overlie them. The geology of South Gloucestershire at first blush appears complex and takes a little unravelling. To begin with; some terminology An inlier is an island of older rock strata, surrounded by younger strata. The Tortworth Inlier comprises Cambrian/Silurian outcrops surrounded by Mesozoic rocks located around Charfield Green, just south of the Little Avon river. It also lies North East of the Carboniferous Coalpit Heath syncline once mined for the bituminous coals it contains. The rock strata we hoped to see Cambrian rocks The oldest strata are the Micklewood beds of upper Cambrian/Lower Ordivician and Tremadoc in age. These are grey micaceous shales with flaggy sandstone or siltstones inbetween. They lie in the southern third of the Tortworth inlier.

[email protected] www.fordhamresearch.com Foreword FOREWORD Structure and nature of the report This (Strategic Housing Market Assessment) SHMA report is divided into sections. The logic for the sections derives from the Brief for the work, Government Guidance and the need for a logical explanation of the work. An additional section is also included detailing updated information that has become available as the result of further result commissioned since the original SHMA report was produced. At the start of each section the chapter titles and short summary of content are listed, in order to assist the reader to gain a brief overview of the detailed contents. A more substantial overview is provided in the Executive Summary. A considerable part of this report is devoted to following the many stages of the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) Practice Guidance (March and August 2007) whose stages are labelled throughout the relevant chapters. Since the stages/steps of the Guidance are not numbered sequentially in each chapter of the Guidance, we have added a chapter number identifier (so Step 5.1 becomes 5.5.1 if Guidance Chapter 5 is involved). The next page of this report provides a summary list of the chapters. Detailed contents of each chapter are presented after the Glossary, at the end of the report. These can be used as an index when seeking further information on a given topic.
