  • The Quaternary Sediments at Welton-Le-Wold, Lincolnshire
    The Quaternary sediments at Welton-le-Wold, Lincolnshire Allan Straw Abstract: The sediments at Welton-le-Wold have been described and discussed for some 40 years, mainly because of two important features, the discovery of artefacts beneath ancient tills and the direct overlay of Devensian till on one of these. Quarry operations ceased in 1973, and in 2004 a report for English Heritage (Aram et al, 2004) described renewed research and also presented an interpretation of environmental circumstances that differed from earlier accounts. The earlier views were re-iterated (Straw, 2005), but two recent papers (Green, 2011: Gamble 2014) relied on the 2004 version. Data concerning the sediments, their modes and environments of deposition are now confirmed, and age estimates place the older deposits firmly within MOIS 8 (300–245ka BP). In 2014 an article was published (Gamble, 2014) endorsed by English Nature and English Heritage. The romantically entitled ‘Where elephants once roamed’, various projects that comprised the study were described referring to the find some 45 years ago in the Welton- and results were recorded at length in the project report le-Wold quarry [TF280882] of a massive tusk (2.2m for English Heritage (March 2004) entitled ‘Towards long), several teeth and considerable, highly friable, an understanding of the Ice Age at Welton-le-Wold, skull bone.

    WEST LINDSEY DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTIONS THURSDAY, 7th MAY 2015 Hugo MARFLEET John MCNEILL Thomas SMITH The local choice for the Market Rasen Ward Working hard to represent the people of Legsby, Linwood, Market Rasen, Middle Rasen, North Willingham, Osgodby, Owersby, Sixhills, Tealby, Walesby and West Rasen without fear or favour Dear Resident, On Thursday, 7th May, local electors will be able to vote for three district councillors in the new Market Rasen ward of West Lindsey District Council, which combines the parishes of Legsby, Linwood, Market Rasen, Middle Rasen, North Willingham, Osgodby, Owersby, Sixhills, Tealby, Walesby and West Rasen. With three seats to elect on to the council, this is a unique opportunity to elect a strong team to represent you. The three of us have lots of experience. Hugo is serving as a Lincolnshire County Councillor and has served as an East Lindsey District Councillor for 8 years. He has recently moved to Tealby and wants to continue his public service. John is a Market Rasen Town Councillor and wants to step up to the next level by being a district councillor so that he can do more for more local people. Thomas is young and enthusiastic to begin helping people out solving problem, but also making sure the voice of younger people too is heard on the council. We want to be involved in sorting out as many issues as possible that are faced by our communities. The only way to do this is to have the right team who are going to champion the needs of the whole of the Market Rasen ward.
