  • Seismic Studies on the Derbyshire Dome D
    SEISMIC STUDIES ON THE DERBYSHIRE DOME DAVID EDWARD ROGERS A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth Sciences The University Leeds LS2 9JT February 1983 PhD Thesis February1983 SEISMIC STUDIES ON THE DERBYSHIRE DOME D. E. ROGERS Dept Earth Sciences ABSTRACT The Derbyshire Dome is thought to have been a stable uplifted area since at least Lower Carboniferous times. This project is principally concerned with four 30km seismic refraction lines which crossed the limestone outcrop of Derbyshire and N. Staffordshire in order to investigate the Dome's upper crustal structure, using quarry blasts as seismic sources. A time-term analysis of refracted arrival data defined basement structure more complicated than implied by the surface geology. The interpretation of these data was complicated by high (5.6-5.8km/s) velocity refractions from dolomitic horizons within the limestone sequence; the mean overburden velocity was determined to be about 5.2 km/s. The Dome could be divided into two pre-Carboniferous geological units separated approx- imately by the line of the NNW trending Bonsall Fault. To the north a broadly domal refractor of velocity 5.5-5.55km/s was mapped, and thought to correlate with both the shallow pre- Carboniferous volcanics encountered by the Woo Dale borehole and"the Ordovician shales encountered by the Eyam borehole below 1.8km of limestone. This refractor accordingly deepens beneath the Carboniferous sedimentary basins flanking the Dome. To the south of the Bonsall Fault zone, the Carbonifer- ous was found to be underlain by a refractor of velocity 5.63-5.7km/s, thought to be of Precambrian material similar to the rocks of Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, some 40km south.

Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 110 1:10,000: SK 08 SE, SK 18 SW, SK 18 SE Date Notified (Under 1949 Act): 1954 Date of Last Revision: 1972 Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1987 Date of Last Revision: – Other Information: Site boundary alteration (extension & reduction). Site includes former site known as 'Eldon Hole, Eldon Hill'. Description and Reasons for Notification: This site is at the northernmost limit of the Carboniferous limestone in the Peak District at the Junction with the shales and sandstones of the Millstone Grit which outcrop at Mam Tor. The area extends for some 5 km between Castleton in the east to Perryfoot in the west and forms one of the most important sites in Britain for the earth sciences containing many features of geological and landform interest. These include the spectacular gorge of Winnats Pass, the largest natural entrance of any cave in Britain at Peak Cavern, and the impressive landslip features of Mam Tor. Underground, the area has some of the most important cave systems in Britain with more than 15 km of passages and a series of sinkholes, including the famous Eldon Hole. Parts of the area, most notably at Winnats Pass and Cave Dale are of special interest on account of their species-rich limestone grasslands and rock-ledge plant communities.

Cover photographs A common perception of the Peak District karst hydrogeology is that it is dominated by sinking streams that feed caves which in turn discharge substantial flows of water from large springs such as Peak Cavern Rising (left). However, over much of the area where limestones crop out there is only dispersed autogenic recharge through a soil cover and surprisingly little evidence of karstic drainage, particularly at depth. During the excavation of stone from Ballidon Quarry in the southern White Peak no caves were encountered and the 100m of limestone exposure (right) shows only an epikarst below which there are no visible conduits and nothing to suggest concentrated drainage.

  • Dark Peak Boundary Walk
    DARK PEAK BOUNDARY WALK The title 'Boundary Walk' refers to the nature of the walk, a circuit of 80 miles around the fringes of three great moorland masses of Kinder Scout, Bleaklow and Black Hill that comprise the Dark Peak. The route is mainly high level but linking these sections a variety of terrain including bridleway tracks, field paths, sheltered wooded cloughs and numerous reservoirs will be encountered. The bleak and wild moors of the Dark ·Peak are never far away and often dominate the views. The route was completed to my satisfaction in November 1987 having been put together on occasional weekend trips over a couple of years. My intention was to create an enjoyable (hopefully) circular walk suitable for short hostelling/backpacking holidays. The entire route is covered by OS Sheet 110 (1:50,000) Sheffield and Huddersfield area.

  • The Growth of Geological Knowledge in the Peak District Trevor D
    The Growth of Geological Knowledge in the Peak District Trevor D. Ford Abstract: The development of geological knowledge in the Peak District from the 18th century to the present day is reviewed. It is accompanied by a comprehensive bibliography. Introduction lead miners made practical use of geological principles as early as the 17th century (Rieuwerts, Geology has changed in the last two centuries from 1984). In the 18th century the course of the initial a largely amateur “gentleman’s” science to a part of Cromford Sough followed the strike of the professional vocation. The results of professional limestone/shale contact where excavation was easier investigation in the Peak District have been built on through shale. The position of the contact was the amateur foundation and the works cited in this obtained by down-dip projection from the outcrop review demonstrate the change in approach. The showing that the soughers had some appreciation of Geological Survey commenced a professional concealed geology. The lead miners also used the approach in the 1860-1880 period, continued basic principles of stratigraphy and structure to during World War I and in the 1950s, but it was not predict whether or not they would intersect until the 1970s that some intensive economic toadstones in driving other soughs in the 18th investigations were pursued.

White Peak Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
