  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

    Date: 09/04/19 Our Ref: RFI2647 Your Ref: FOI Request – Minimum Geography Areas (MGAs) Tel: 0300 1234 500 Email: [email protected] Windsor House By Email Only 50 Victoria Street London SW1H 0TL Dear RE: Request for Information – RFI2647 Thank you for your request for information, which was processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). For clarification, you requested the following information: I am a researcher analysing published HCA/HE data on Affordable Housing Programme funding by area. I attach a spreadsheet including sheets for successive outputs relating to the year ending March 2014, 2017 and 2018. The first two appear to be for the Operating Areas HE inherited from HCA and the 2018 data is for the adjusted HE Operating Areas effective from 2017. The final, fourth sheet lists my understanding of the match between 326 English metropolitan, unitary, London and lower-tier districts. My FOI enquiry relates to HCA/HE Minimum Geography areas (MGAs), which is the lowest reporting geography you appear to use. The 2014 funding sheet lists 58 MGAs, the 2017 sheet 53 MGAs and the 2018 sheet 69 MGAs. It is not possible to impute or infer the geographic coverage of successive MGAs based on their description; and nor was it possible to identify this from an internet search. My FOI request is therefore for HE to provide a lookup or equivalent table listing each/any MGA used by HCA/HE since this reporting geography was first used, together with their constituent local authorities. Or to populate the final sheet of 326 local authorities by the MGA they form part of.
