STRATEGIC STONE STUDY a Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire
STRATEGIC STONE STUDY A Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire Published December 2011 Derived from BGS digital geological mapping at 1:625,000 scale, British Geological Survey © Lancashire Bedrock Geology NERC. All rights reserved Click on this link to visit Lancashire’s geology and its contribution to known building stones, stone structures and building stone quarries (Opens in new window http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/buildingstone?County=Lancashire ) Lancashire Strategic Stone Study 1 Introduction The bedrock geology of Lancashire is dominated by fine to very coarse-grained SANDSTONES of Carboniferous and, to a lesser extent, Permo-Triassic age. There are, in addition, locally important outcrops of LIMESTONE. The Carboniferous rocks occupy a broad swathe of the east of the county, wrapping around a Triassic ‘core’ in the lowlands of the west, which is largely buried under thick accumulations of glacial till (Quaternary). The competence of the Carboniferous sandstones is reflected in the rugged moorland of east Lancashire, which in turn is reflected in the ‘sturdy’ character of the built landscape. The limestones present in northern Lancashire and around Clitheroe bring a lighter ‘openness’ to the villages of these areas. Lowland Lancashire, meanwhile, is primarily brick country, with the exception of some Triassic sandstone pockets around Ormskirk and Heysham. The widespread availability of durable building stone led to the development of quarrying throughout central and eastern Lancashire, with Rossendale (during the 1870s) exporting vast amounts of building stone to other areas of Britain and also abroad. Only a small number of quarries produce building stone today, with most of the industry now focussing on the supply of crushed stone products. -

Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2014 – 2019 (Final Draft)
Forest of Bowland AONB Management Plan 2014-19 (Final Draft) Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2014 – 2019 (Final Draft) Prepared by the Forest of Bowland AONB Partnership, February 2014 1 Forest of Bowland AONB Management Plan 2014-19 (Final Draft) MINISTERIAL FOREWORD Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) are some of our finest landscapes. They are cherished by residents and visitors alike and allow millions of people from all walks of life to understand and connect with nature. I am pleased to see that this management plan demonstrates how AONB Partnerships can continue to protect these precious environments despite the significant challenges they face. With a changing climate, the increasing demands of a growing population and in difficult economic times, I believe AONBs represent just the sort of community-driven, collaborative approach needed to ensure our natural environment is maintained for generations to come. AONB Partnerships have been the architects of a landscape-scale approach to land management. This approach is a key feature of the Government‟s Natural Environment White Paper and emphasises the need to manage ecosystems in an integrated fashion, linking goals on wildlife, water, soil and landscape, and working at a scale that respects natural systems. This management plan also makes the important connection between people and nature. I am pleased to hear that local communities have been central to the development of the plan, and will be at the heart of its delivery. From volunteers on nature conservation projects, to businesses working to promote sustainable tourism, it‟s great to hear of the enthusiasm and commitment of the local people who hold their AONBs so dear. -
Blackburn Prayers June 2020
Blackburn Prayers June 2020 Since March we have seen unprecedented events taking place in our country and around the world in response to the coronavirus outbreak. A Daily Update for parishes is being sent from Bishop Philip and the coronavirus task group; they are also available each day on the main coronavirus advice page. Bishop Philip wrote in one of those Daily Updates that, above all, we must give ourselves at this time to the work of prayer. That is why you will notice we have introduced a special intention each day in Blackburn Prayers to help us to pray into the current crisis. Meanwhile, if you have not subscribed to receive our Daily Prayers email into your inbox, now may be the time to do so. Simply click the link here. We also continue to share Bishop Julian’s Bible verses to meditate on and memorise each month as part of his 'Bishop's Bible Challenge' to encourage the spiritual discipline of learning Bible verses by heart. More information about the Bible Challenge here. We also continue with Vision 2026 prayers reflecting Making Disciples, Being Witnesses, Growing Leaders and Youth/Children and Schools and prayers for our National Church Funded Projects in Blackpool, Blackburn and Preston. If you have any comments, amendments or updates regarding Blackburn Prayers, please direct them to [email protected] For more about parishes in this month’s edition, click on the links taking you to either their own website or their A Church Near You site.
