BUILDING STONES FOR USE IN DERBYSHIRE The register below has been produced to assist those wanting to find sources of building stone for use in Derbyshire. The County encompasses a wide variety of types of native stone. Carboniferous Limestone in the White Peak, Millstone Grit, a grainy sandstone in the Dark Peak and the central area, a finer sandstone on the Staffordshire border and on the opposite, eastern side of the County a soft sandstone found in association with the coal measures. The great Magnesian Limestone outcrop which crosses the length of Yorkshire and continues into County Durham starts just north of Nottingham and runs along the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire border. All these stones and numerous less significant local types have been used in Derbyshire for centuries and their particular characteristics have strongly influenced the native pattern of vernacular building and polite architecture. Neither Magnesian Limestone nor Coal Measures Sandstone is any longer quarried for commercial building purposes within the County and alternative sources have to be drawn on. Similarly, fissile sandstone or flagstone has not been quarried in Derbyshire for the production of roofing slates for many decades, although attempts are being made to re- open a few old quarries specifically for this purpose. These slates have been a major contributor to the vernacular building tradition of North Derbyshire for many years. For too long the only way to obtain traditional stone slates of the Derbyshire type has been through salvage. Companies and individuals who have carried out satisfactory work on stone buildings in Derbyshire can be found on the website of the Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust: www.derbyshirehistoricbuildings.org.uk There is growing recognition that quarrying for traditional building stone and slate is important to sustain sources of supply for locally distinct materials which are essential for the maintenance and repair of historic and traditional buildings. Such sources can also be important for maintaining supplies of materials for new development where it is important that this is in sympathy with the local and traditional built environment and landscape character. In a few cases, such operations represent the unbroken survival of an industry that has flourished from the Middle Ages. The County is fortunate to be the home of the National Stone Centre, a registered charity, based at Middleton-by-Wirksworth. The organisation can carry out stone sourcing and matching and historical research relating to all sectors of the quarrying industry. The NSC has a library (accessible by prior appointment) covering geology, the minerals industry, minerals planning and a school resources section. It also has a large collection of geological material and photographs, and a small archive on quarry history: www.nationalstonecentre.org.uk Derbyshire County Council does not accept any liability for the consequences of using the information contained in this website which is believed to be correct at the time of revision.

    C/R/D Summary Skeleton Document

    Application No: 19/3774M Location: LIDGETTS LANE, RAINOW, MACCLESFIELD Proposal: The proposed development includes a new service reservoir, construction compounds and connection pipework to the exiting service reservoir. Applicant: Mr Michael Barton, United Utilities Plc Expiry Date: 14-Feb-2020 SUMMARY The proposed development seeks the erection of a new Service reservoir and associated infrastructure within close proximity to an existing facility in order to allow servicing and maintenance of the existing reservoir and in effect, provide a ‘back-up’ option for the local water supply. The proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of its impact upon openness and encroachment. There would also be limited landscape harm created. However, it is deemed that Very Special Circumstances apply that clearly outweigh this harm. More specifically, the significant implications on local water supply if the facility not provided (in event of failure of the existing facility) and the because of the subsequent likely greater landscape implications of the alterative option which is to lay several kilometres of pipework and erect new pumping stations across a greater area. As such, the principle of the proposal is deemed to be acceptable. The scheme is deemed to be of an appropriate functional design that would not create any significant concerns with regards to; highways, amenity, landscape, trees, nature conservation, flooding and drainage, archaeology or Public Rights of Way, subject to conditions where necessary. For the above reasons, the application is recommended for approval. RECOMMENDATION APPROVE subject to conditions REASON FOR REFERRAL The application has been referred to Northern Planning Committee because it relates to a commercial development comprising of a site between 2 and 4 hectares.

The area comprises an extensive upland plateau with steep gritstone slopes, sometimes with rocky edges, that drop away to lower lying slopes, wooded cloughs and deep valleys, some of which have been flooded to create large reservoirs. It contrasts sharply with the adjoining limestone uplands of the White Peak and is named on account of the dark hues created in the landscape by the peat moors and exposed gritstone. Whilst this landscape character area contrasts with the White Peak, the transition to other landscape character areas such as the Dark Peak Eastern and Western Fringe landscapes is much more gradual; these are landscapes of similar character but tend to be lower lying, more settled and more intensively managed than the Dark Peak with enclosed farmland rather than open moorland predominating. The Eastern Moors to the south-east of the Dark Peak are similar to it in character but lower lying with less deep peat creating a landscape that has been more obviously modified by people than the Dark Peak generally has. In the north, the moorland plateau of the Dark Peak continues into the Southern Pennines. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 3: Dark Peak such as the golden plover and the dunlin.

    Bollington at the Time of the 1911 Census

    A Century Ago – Bollington at the time of the 1911 census SOMEWAYS DIFFERENT…SOMEWAYS NOT. The Bollington of 100 years ago was not so very different in appearance from the Bollington of today, give or take wedges of new housing at Bollington Cross, Ingersley Road and elsewhere. The basic physical outline of the village with its stone cottages and houses was already in place alongside the churches, public houses and other community features in that Census year 1911. The aqueduct carrying the Canal across the valley was there, and the railway viaduct with the green sward of the (Gnat Hole) Recreation Ground between them. White Nancy had been standing guard on Kerridge Hill from 1815 onwards. The Cotton Mills (Clarence, Adelphi and Olivers’ Waterhouse Mill) were working and the Paper Mill, Oak Bank, and others. There were, to be sure, many more shops and, other than on foot, by horse, train, and such cars as there were, there was no great back and forth to Macclesfield and beyond. Supermarkets lay in the future and Bollington was much more self-contained than it is now. The skies above were quiet with no Manchester Airport nearby and the main noise (and smell) in the streets came from horses, although cars were beginning to make an appearance. With no radios, TV sets or Internet it was naturally the case that folk knew more about their actual neighbours than “breaking news” about people on the other side of the world and in the country at large. Yet, without a doubt, events national and international could have their impact in Bollington as when the American Civil War had (many years before) shut down our Cotton Mills through lack of raw materials.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study of detrital zircon age populations in Namurian-Westphalian (Carboniferous) sandstones in the southern Central Pennine Basin of the UK has revealed considerable complexity in their provenance history. The Pendleian-Marsdenian Morridge Formation, which is known to have been derived from the Wales-Brabant Massif to the south on the basis of palaeocurrent and petrographic information, is dominated by zircons ultimately derived from the Caledonian belt to the north. These zircons were recycled from sandstones of northern origin that had been previously deposited over the massif during Middle to Late Devonian times. The Morridge Formation also includes Late Neoproterozoic zircons of local Wales-Brabant Massif origin. The south lobe of the Yeadonian Rough Rock has been previously interpreted as having a complex provenance including sediment of northern origin interbedded with sediment ascribed to a Wales- Brabant Massif source.
