[Pn'ce Twelve Shillmgs.'\ A. \ \^ ^^' The following description of the Burnley Coalfield and the adjacent formations is the 14th memoir pub- lished by the Geological Survey on the Coalfields of Great Britain. Of these one is descriptive of the Geo- logical Maps of the Chesliire Coalfield by Mr. Hull and Mr. Green, and four are descriptive of the Lancashire Coalfield by Mr. Hull. This memoir on the Burnley District, therefore, completes the account of the Lan- cashire Coalfield and the adjoining formations, the coal- measure maps of which are published on a scale of six inches and of one inch to a mile with illustrative sections. I do not doubt that the book will be welcome to all those interested both in the mining industries, and in the more purely scientific geology of the country described. Andrew C. Ramsay, Director-General. H.M. Geological Survey Office, Jermyn Street, London. 30514, a 2 The country of which the Geology ia described in the present Memoir was surveyed by Mr. Edward Hull and Messrs. Green, Tiddeman, Dakyns, Ward, Gunn, De Ranee, and Strangways, under the direction of Professor Eamsay. This area, comprised in quarter-sheets 89 N.W. and N.E,, 88 N.W., and 92 S.W., includes the highly developed carboni- ferous series of North Lancashire, the small but rich coalfields of Burnley and Blackburn, and the Coppull district of that part of the Lancashire coal-measures which is known as the Chorley Coalfield. The Permian and Triassic rocks, on the west side of the great fault which cuts off the carboniferous rocks, are also described ; as weU as the drift and post-glacial deposits of the plain about the estuary of the Eibble and which form the seaboard of that part of Lancashire. The greatest portion of the Memoir was written by Mr. Hull, by whom also most of the ground was surveyed ; a considerable part being, however, from the pen of Mr. De Ranee. J\Ir. Tiddeman deserves especial mention as not only having contributed to the Memoir, but as having acted as general editor of the whole ; in the performance of which duty he has spared neither pains nor time. A very valuable stratigraphical list of the fossils occurring in the district has been drawn up by INIr. Etheridge, Paleontologist to the Survey, as an appendix; while a list of the works and papers bearing upon the geology of the district of which the Memoir treats has been added by Messi-s. Whitaker and Tidde- man as a second appendix, fuUy illustrating the bibliography of the subject. The index has been drawn up by Mr. H. B. Woodward, the references to localities having been supplied by Mr. Tiddeman, Heney W. Bkisto"w, Director for England and Wales. H.M.

    Price £500,000 Greenshaw Farm Off Barnoldswick 4 2 2 3 Road Foulridge EPC Rating: F Council Tax Band: F LOCATION Travelling away from Barrowford along Barnoldswick Road, past the Cross Gaits heading towards Whitemoor Reservoir. At the 90 degree right hand turn, turn left into Gisburn track. You then have to do a U turn and proceed down Barnoldswick Road taking the first track on the left hand side. Proceed to the end and this is Greenshaw Farm. DESCRIPTION Set with one of the most idyllic views in Pendle overlooking Slipper Hill Reservoir and Lake Burwain and having views in the distance towards The Herders and Boulsworth Hill, this semi detached four bedroom farmhouse offers fantastic family living accommodation which briefly comprises substantial lounge with wood burning stove with snug area, farmhouse dining kitchen, separate dining room and garden room at ground floor level, all having outstanding South facing views to the front. At first floor level there is the master bedroom with en-suite, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom. Externally, the property is set with patio and gardens to the front and has a detached double garage with remote roller shutter door, and a substantial garden area to the rear suitable for the growing family. The property benefits from LPG fired central heating, UPVC double glazing and in our opinion requires an internal inspection for its size and location to be fully appreciated. Conveniently located being in an elevated position within a short drive of the bars, bistros and boutiques that both Barrowford and Barnoldswick have to offer and for the commuter wishing to travel into Manchester or Preston, the M65 motorway is within a 15 minute drive.

CXVII TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE FOR THE YEAR 1965 VOLUME 117 LIVERPOOL PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY 1966 Made and Printed in Great Britain by C. Tinting & Co. Ltd., Liverpool, London and Prescot. EDITORIAL NOTE Even so diverse a body as a Historic Society must have a local habitation as well as a name, but though most of the Society's meetings are held in Liverpool the name reminds us that the Society's sphere of interest and, we hope, of influence, extends to Cheshire as well as to Lancashire. The editors are therefore particularly glad to consider articles relating to the history of Cheshire and are pleased that it is possible to print three such papers in this volume. We hope that more contributions from Cheshire historians will be forthcoming. Honorary editors, in their enthusiasm for presenting to readers all that deserves to be published, are a sore trial to honorary treasurers, who must have an equal enthusiasm for balancing the books. We have therefore been asked to make amends by reminding members that it would be of great assis­ tance to the Society if they would arrange to pay their subscrip­ tions in accordance with a deed of covenant, the necessary forms being obtainable from either of the treasurers. The Council is grateful to Mr. D. Anderson, Mr. B. G. Blackwood, Mr. J. Phillip Dodd, Mr. D. J. Hoey and Mr. E. Midwinter for contributing to the cost of producing this volume, and, once again, to Mr.
