  • The Caves of Giggleswick Scar – Examples of Deglacial Speleogenesis?
    Cave and Karst Science, Vol.42, No.1, (2015) 42–53 © British Cave Research Association 2015 Transactions of the British Cave Research Association ISSN 1356-191X The caves of Giggleswick Scar – examples of deglacial speleogenesis? Phillip J MURPHY 1, Trevor L FAULKNER 2, Thomas C LORD 3, and John A THORP 4 1 School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK. e-mail: [email protected] 2 Limestone Research Group, Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK. e-mail: [email protected] 3 Lower Winskill, Langcliffe, Settle, BD24 9PZ, UK. e-mail: [email protected] 4 5 Holme Park, High Bentham, Lancaster, LA2 7ND, UK. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The prominent Giggleswick Scar at the South Craven Fault extremity of the Carboniferous limestone of the Askrigg Block in North Yorkshire, UK, contains relict phreatic caves whose speleogenesis is enigmatic. This paper examines the local geomorphological evidence and proposes that some, but not necessarily all, karst features along and above the Scar formed after the Last Glacial Maximum. Building on a previous deglacial model for the Yorkshire Dales, it is hypothesized that inception fractures and bedding plane partings were created during isostatic uplift. These were then likely enlarged by dissolution in cold unsaturated meltwater beneath a local flowing deglacial ice- dammed lake that formed initially at an altitude of c.300m, with a catchment area of c. 2km2. Rising cupolas outside Gully Cave were probably formed at c. 18ka BP by meltwater flowing up into a moulin within the ice, which continued to be cold-based farther south.

  • Time Please! 'Lost' Inns, Pubs and Alehouses of the Yorkshire Dales
    Time Please! ‘Lost’ Inns, Pubs and Alehouses of the Yorkshire Dales 1. Recognisances and Records of Victuallers and Alehouse Keepers From 1551 the law required registers to be kept by Quarter Sessions across the country, organised according to wapentake (a now obsolete administrative unit). The records included the name of the innholder or alehouse keeper, the township in which he or she operated, the amount of penalty he or she would be liable to for any infringement of the law, and the name and place of residence of whoever was standing surety for the licensee’s ‘good behaviour’. In most cases the name of the inn or alehouse was not included. An Act of 1822 (3 George II cap. 31) amended earlier legislation and for most, but not all, townships, the name of the licensed premises was included in the registers. The Alehouse Act 1828 abolished sureties and recognisances. An example of how 1828 legislation was applied is provided for the Kings Arms in Bentham with William Turner the licensee liable for £30 and James Burton who stood surety of £20 for Turner (West Riding QE32/75, 15 September 1828). It reads: West Riding of Yorkshire; at a general meeting of His Majesty’s Justices of the Peace acting in and for the Division of Ewcross, in the said West Riding of Yorkshire held at Ingleton in the Division and Riding aforesaid on Friday 5th September 1828. William Turner being the tenant and occupier of a house known by the sign of the Kings Arms in the township of Bentham in the said Division and Riding, victualler, acknowledges himself to
