The report provides geological information about the Pennines and adjacent areas region to underpin the process of national geological screening set out in the UK’s government White Paper Implementing geological disposal: a framework for the long-term management of higher activity radioactive waste (DECC, 2014). The report describes geological features relevant to the safety requirements of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for radioactive waste emplaced onshore and up to 20 km offshore at depths between 200 and 1000 m from surface. It is written for a technical audience but is intended to inform RWM in its discussions with communities interested in finding out about the potential for their area to host a GDF. i Contents Foreword

This report contains our final proposals for the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley's boundaries with the City of Liverpool, the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, the District of West Lancashire in Lancashire, the Borough of Halton in Cheshire and part of its boundary with the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. Our recommendations in respect of the review of the Borough of Sefton are contained in Report No. 664. We shall be reporting on the City of Liverpool's boundary with Sefton and Wirral separately. 2. Although during the course of the review we considered the possibility of radical changes to Knowsley, including its abolition, our final proposals involve major change only in relation to the Parish of Simonswood which we are proposing should be transferred to Lancashire. The remainder of our final proposals involve minor changes to Knowsley's boundaries to remove anomalies and defacements. 3. As required by Section 60(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, we have carefully considered all the representations made to us at each stage of the review.

  • Memories of Colne
    MEMORIES OF COLNE By Mrs. Cryer, of Burnley (Formerly Miss Margaret Jane Ward, of Colne) in Collaboration with Mr. Willie Bell, of Burnley (Formerly of Colne) Reprinted from the “Colne and Nelson Times” March to August 1910 (Scanned with optical character recognition and reformatted by Craig Thornber, January 1998) -1- Introduction In 1910, Mrs. Cryer produced a series of articles for the “Colne and Nelson Times”, recalling her memories of Colne in the 1850’s. She had a remarkable memory and recounted the names and details of most of the town’s shop-keepers and their families. The book is a treasure trove for all those with family history interests in Colne in the middle of last century. To my delight, at the end of Chapter IV, I found mention of Miss Margaret Cragg, the sister of my great great grandfather. The book based on Mrs. Cryer’s articles is now very rare, so the opportunity has been taken to reproduce it. This version has been produced from a photocopy of the book by computer scanning, using an optical character recognition programme. Computer scanning is never completely accurate, particularly with punctuation marks, and when working from a document with low contrast. While the final version has been subjected to proof reading and computer based spelling checks, a few errors may remain, for which I am responsible. Many of the sentences and paragraphs are very long and the division into chapters is somewhat arbitrary, but the book has been reproduced as written. The numbering of chapter XIII has been corrected and a few changes have been made to the format for reasons of clarity.

  • The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is It Missing?
    The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is it missing? Ann Hall with valuable assistance from Alan Jones Introduction When Alison Stuart was preparing to move out of her family home at Christmas Cottage in Little Longstone shortly after Michael's death in 2012, she asked Hillary Clarke and I to help with finding the most appropriate home for papers that he had collected during his historical research. As we worked through a lifetime's work on many topics of local interest we came upon a photocopy of a guide stoop. Hilary recognised it as the one from Longstone Edge and I became interested to find out more. This article is the result of my investigations. Some of my chief sources of information were from books which describe rambles through Derbyshire in a rather romantic manner in the first half of the nineteenth century. They were not intended to be full scientific records of features along the way but rather a description of interesting walks and fascinating items along the route. The record in the books is not always reliable but I have tried to extract as much sound information as I can. There are records of a guide stoop, dated 1717, on Longstone Edge since 1905. Some of the earlier information is quite detailed and this suggests that it really was in existence at Page 2 of 5 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge the time of the recording. In more recent reports it is listed as missing. My recent research intended to find out if it really is lost for ever.

  • Mercian 11 B Hunter.Indd
    The Cressbrook Dale Lava and Litton Tuff, between Longstone and Hucklow Edges, Derbyshire John Hunter and Richard Shaw Abstract: With only a small exposure near the head of its eponymous dale, the Cressbrook Dale Lava is the least exposed of the major lava flows interbedded within the Carboniferous platform- carbonate succession of the Derbyshire Peak District. It underlies a large area of the limestone plateau between Longstone Edge and the Eyam and Hucklow edges. The recent closure of all of the quarries and underground mines in this area provided a stimulus to locate and compile the existing subsurface information relating to the lava-field and, supplemented by airborne geophysical survey results, to use these data to interpret the buried volcanic landscape. The same sub-surface data-set is used to interpret the spatial distribution of the overlying Litton Tuff. Within the regional north-south crustal extension that survey indicate that the outcrops of igneous rocks in affected central and northern Britain on the north side the White Peak are only part of a much larger volcanic of the Wales-Brabant High during the early part of the field, most of which is concealed at depth beneath Carboniferous, a province of subsiding platforms, tilt- Millstone Grit and Coal Measures farther east. Because blocks and half-grabens developed beneath a shallow no large volcano structures have been discovered so continental sea. Intra-plate magmatism accompanied far, geological literature describes the lavas in the the lithospheric thinning, with basic igneous rocks White Peak as probably originating from four separate erupting at different times from a number of small, local centres, each being active in a different area at different volcanic centres scattered across a region extending times (Smith et al., 2005).
