Excursion to Aldrington, Brighton, and Rottingdean 248 EXCURSION TO ALDRINGTON, BRIGHTON, AND ROTTINGDEAN. The drive next crossed the northern tongue of the coal­ field as far as Scout House Reservoir, and from this point for some distance, the rising ground on the north of the road is occupied by Pebble Beds, exposed in many quarries, while to the south the brick-clays belonging to the Coal Measures, lying unconformably below, were being worked in numerous large excavations (see section). The first branch of the Western Boundary Fault was crossed north-east of Cannock, and the rest of the journey to this town was over Pebble Beds. At Cannock the party was most hospitably entertained at tea by Mr. C. A. Loxton, LL.B., of Shoal Hill House. A somewhat hurried drive to Stafford took the party near the huge excavations in the Pebble Beds of Cannock Chase, the pumping station of the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company, and past Huntington Colliery, where a sinking through the Pebble Beds has been successful in finding coal.

CHAPMAN, A.L.S., HENRY EDMONDS, B.Sc., AND C. DAVIES SHERBORN, F.Z.S. E."cu?s;on Secretary: A. C. YOUNG, F.C.S. (Repo?t by C. D. SHERBORN.) MR. FREDERICK CHAPMAN having kindly consented to explain the Aldrington section (see PROCEEDINGS, p. 259), a small party left London by the early morning train, and had the opportunity, therefore, of comparing the Raised Beach and Elephant Bed at this end of Brighton with that originally described by Mantell to the east of Brighton. Meeting the main body in the afternoon, the Directors led the way to the shore, where Mr. Chapman explained the Pleistocene section, which at this point is : Soil, etc. El ephant Bed 50 to 60 ft. Pleistocene Old sea-beach S to 8 ft. { Sand ... 3 to 4 ft. Chalk NOVEMBER, 1899.] EXCURSION TO CUXTON AND BURHAM. 249 The" Elephant Bed" rests on the Chalk, which is more or less horizontal in the section, and so continues to Rottingdean. The Chalk belongs, according to Barrois, to the "Assise a Belemnitelles," which, he says, forms part of the "Zone a Marsupites." The characteristic fossils given in "Terrain cretace superieur," are, among others: Micraster cor-anguinum, Ofjaster (Cardiaster) corculum, Rhynchonella plicatilis, Belemnites merceyi, Inoceramus lingua, TerebratuHna striata, crinoids, cidarids, sponges, etc. Large Ammonites (A. leptojJhyllus) are very common in the cliff and on the shore, and a magnificent specimen from this locality has lately been exhibited in the British Museum (Natural History) Marsupites also occur, but on the outward journey the party were unable to find specimens, though some were secured on the return journey, from the shore, in the position pointed out by the Directors. The liberality also of the landlord of the "White Horse," Rottingdean, enabled several members to secure more or less perfect specimens. REFERENCES. Geological Survey Map. Sheets 5 and g.

EXCURSION TO CUXTON AND BURHAM. SATURDAY, JULY 1ST, 1899. Director: G. E. DIBLEY, F.G.S. Excursion Secretary: A. E. SALTER, B.Se I F.G.S. (Report by THE D,XOCTOR.) The members arrived at Cuxton at 11. I 5 a.m., and visited a pit a quarter of a mile south of the station, by permission of Messrs. Weekes & Trechmann. The Director remarked that on their journey from town they had passed over the highest zones of the Chalk in the London area, at Gravesend and Farningham Road. At Strood, they had seen Upper Chalk of a decidedly low - zonal character, the predominant fossil being Micraster coranguinum, with Echinoconus conicus, and in the two and a half miles from Strood to Cuxton successively lower zones formed the outcrop, so that it could be distinctly seen that the beds have a somewhat north-easterly dip. At Cuxton, the whole of the Chalk (over 200 ft.) was certainly below the M. coranguinum zone. Flints occur in the upper half of the section. The typical fossils are the Holaster planus, Terebratulina NOVEMBER, 1899.1.

  • The Brighton Quickie
    The Brighton Quickie For those on a tight budget, the Brighton Quickie offers a 20 minute whiz round Brighton and Hove in a helicopter for one or three passengers. Leaving Shoreham Airport we route East passing picturesque Shoreham-by-Sea with it's houseboats sitting in the silt at the mouth of the Adur river. The commercial heart of Shoreham Port is quickly beneath us with it's massive lock gates allowing large vessels carrying wood, aggregates and oil to berth, as well as providing a haven to local fishermen and the Coastguard. Approaching the end of the harbour at Aldrington Basin we see Millionaires Row, some of Brighton and Hove's most expensive properties with their private beachfronts. Waving madly just in case Fatboy Slim, Zoe Ball, Sir Paul MacCartney or Nick Berry are on their roof terraces. Passing Hove Lagoon we see Hove lawns and the promenade with its gaily painted beach huts stretching before us. Traveling legally at 115mph along the seafront (told you it was a Quickie!), the sights come thick and fast. To save you having camera glued to your eye throughout the flight you'll be provided with a souvenir CD including professional digital photographs of most of the key sights. The Regency splendour of Hove is shown in all its glory from the air as we pass Adelaide Crescent and Palmera Square. Passing into Brighton this splendour is put in stark relief by the rusting skeleton of the West Pier. We pass the Grand Hotel, Brighton Old Town, and head towards the flashing lights of the Palace Pier.

New England Farm 1897 to Eastbourne & Lewes Mile Oak was originally an area of sheep down, corn and market gardens, with small groups of farm buildings. During the 1920s scattered suburban housing started to creep up the valley. Major changes came in the 1960s with the demolition of the Portslade-by-Sea dockside housing, and its replacement by Portslade local authority flats and houses, high on the South Downs, beyond Portslade Paddocks village. This area had seen considerable further development of private housing, A27 much of it in the form of bungalows. North House Farm to Southampton Hangleton The coming of the A27 Brighton & Hove by-pass in the 1990s blocked much of Hospital Mile Oak from access to the Downs.

    New Church Road, 35, Aldrington House (Lady Chichester Hospital) , Hove Historic Building No CA Hospital (former house) LLHA0135 Description: Built in the early 1890s as a house for Mr and Mrs Hammond. It was converted in 1920 for use as a psychiatric hospital, known as Lady Chichester Hospital. Extensions were later built to the rear, and other villas used in conjunction. The Lady Chichester Hospital was founded by Dr Helen Boyle and Dr Mabel Jones in 1905 and was based at 101 Roundhill Crescent and 70 Brunswick Place, before purchasing the New Church Road site. The institution was unique in catering for nervous disorders in women and children, which were at the time refused treatment at general hospitals, but also not catered for by mental hospitals. It became the first hospital of its type, and was very popular until its closure in 1988. The building is now used as a day support unit run by the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
