The report provides geological information about the Welsh Borderland region to underpin the process of national geological screening set out in the UK’s government White Paper Implementing geological disposal: a framework for the long-term management of higher activity radioactive waste (DECC, 2014). The report describes geological features relevant to the safety requirements of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for radioactive waste emplaced onshore and up to 20 km offshore at depths between 200 and 1000 m from surface. It is written for a technical audience but is intended to inform RWM in its discussions with communities interested in finding out about the potential for their area to host a GDF. i Contents Foreword

  • A Review of the Tectonic History of the Shropshire Area
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area 1 James Butler BUTLER, J.B. (1990). A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society , 9, 20–34. A review of the tectonic data available for Shropshire, relating this to information which has become available from the exploration of the north-west continental shelf. The tectonic history of Shropshire records short bursts of compression producing folding and wrench faulting as a result of continental collision, followed by longer periods of tension, deposition and reversal of movement along the wrench fault system. The County lies upon the Midland Block, comprising Longmyndian and Charnian rock to which was accreted Island Arc volcanics and related sediments along the line of the Pontesford Lineament in the late Precambrian. The so-called "Caledonian grain" was determined at this time and was reactivated many times subsequently. Sediments were folded during the Taconic pulse in mid-Ordovician, and then continental collision along the Iapetus suture in mid-Devonian intensified the Caledonian grain. At the end of the Devonian, collision occurred to the south of the Midland Block. Pulses during the Carboniferous produced the Hercynian basins and welded the continents into one super-continent: Pangea. Break-up of Pangea was followed by a taphrogenic regime with rifting (Cimmerian) in the Permo-Triassic and early Cretaceous. Compressive forces operated at the end of the Cretaceous with reactivation of old wrench faults. Finally, Styrian compression inverted the Weald-type basins and most likely elevated the Welsh Massif at the same time, some 10 million years ago.

  • Earls Hill and Pontesford Hill Protrude from the Shropshire Plains South West of Shrewsbury and Mark the Start of the Shropshire Hills from the North
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Earl’s Hill and Pontesford Hill Starting point and OS Grid reference Free Earl’s Hill Nature Reserve car park (SJ 409057), Ordnance Survey map OS 241 - Shrewsbury Distance 4.5 miles Date of Walk 26 April 2017 Traffic light rating Introduction: Earls Hill and Pontesford Hill protrude from the Shropshire plains south west of Shrewsbury and mark the start of the Shropshire Hills from the north. Their profile has been likened by some to the shape of a sleeping dragon but never having seen a dragon, I cannot vouch for this! What I can say is that they became the Shropshire Wildlife Trust’s first nature reserve in the 1960s. The hills were formed millions of years ago by lava which burst through the Earths crust, though neither was a volcano itself. On the top of Earl’s Hill, are the remains of an Iron Age hill fort, constructed about 600BC and you can still see the remains of the ditches. The occupants would have had a great defensive position because from the summit, there is the most fantastic 360° view. It is recommended you take binoculars. You can pick out the Stiperstones, Long Mynd and The Wreakin clearly, to name but a few. To the south east there are some dramatic cliffs which would have aided defence but for that reason, do not wander carelessly off the summit. Other than the summit, the remainder of the walk is mainly a pretty woodland meander. I was lucky enough to do this walk in the spring when fresh green leaves were forming on the trees.

The Liberties and Municipal Boundaries The Domesday ‘city’ (civitas) of Shrewsbury included nine hides identifiable as the townships of its original liberty. To the south of the Severn they included Sutton, Meole Brace, Shelton, and Monkmeole (Crowmeole), and to the north Hencott.1 The location of a further half-hide, belonging to St Juliana’s church, was described by Eyton as ‘doubtful’,2 but may refer to the detached portions of St Juliana’s in Shelton.3 More obscure, as leaving no later parochial trace, was a virgate in Meole Brace which belonged to St Mary’s church.4 The Domesday liberties, however, were not settled.

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.
