UPHILL FIELD TRIP September 17Th 2018 UPHILL FIELD TRIP September 17th 2018. Situation: The Uphill site is a fascinating place with glorious views across the Severn Estuary where the River Axe meanders across a narrow slip of flatland just south of an extensive caravan site, yacht marina and a small lake highly suitable for learning the art of sailing. Uphill is near the Junction of the Estuary of the Axe River entering Weston Bay on the Eastern side of The Severn Estuary. Below is a map of both synclines (Folds of older Carboniferous limestone rocks) going from East to West with younger rocks between. Sand Point formed a peninsula at the northern end of Weston Bay, while we at Uphill were situated on the Carboniferous rock peninsula on the southern side of Weston Bay. The main rock types are Black Rock Limestone (BRL) remembering that Pembroke and Friars Point limestones as subdivisions of BRL. HL = Hotwells Limestone or Oxwich Head Limestone CDG or CDL = Clifton Down Limestone GL = Gully Oolite. BRG or BRL = Black Rock Limestone. On looking at the cross section; a line cutting north from point A the shape of the two Carboniferous Black Rock Limestone (BRL) ridges or anticlines are shown below. We were standing about the nearby Weston Woods looking towards Middle Hope, north of Weston-Super-Mare shown in the second diagram. The area where we were walking was in the region of the southernmost Weston Bay syncline; part of a ridge running along Brean Down through Uphill and east along into the Bleadon Hills. Stop # 1.The Lime Kiln At the entrance of the main quarry we saw a reconstructed Lime kiln which had been in use from 1780 to 1850. The limestone Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) was originally heated to a very high temperature breaking down to Calcium Oxide which was found to be highly corrosive and potentially dangerous. Later the Calcium Oxide was treated with water to become Calcium Hydroxide (Slaked Lime) which is a safer product, it is still a useful substance to render the more acid soil of the Somerset Levels to a more alkaline pH and therefore suitable for growing crops. Stop # 2. The quarry. The walk started properly when we entered an enclosure which had been a busy limestone quarry since 1820, now no longer profitable. This quarry is situated on the southern limb of the Weston Bay syncline, in which the bedding is seen to be dipping at an angle of about 300 - 350 pointing north, as shown to the left. The face of the quarry showed regular parallel beds of limestone suggesting a quiet environment of deposition probably near a coral reef. The coral organisms were quite thinly spread with little evidence of crushing or fracturing. We were led to believe that about 360 million years ago the land corresponding to the British Isles was situated about 200 south of the equator in a warm gentle sea, described by Doug as good snorkelling conditions! Looking back, it was suggested the future BRL material gradually accumulated on the sea bed; sometimes a metre thick, each could have been formed between single storm episodes. Thus, over millions of years these enormous beds of carboniferous limestone were laid down. Doug pointed out this quantity of BRL being so near the town of Weston-Super-Mare was an ideal building material for many of the houses and larger buildings in the town. The abundant fossils were evidence of a nearby coral reef and we certainly saw several types of them all over the quarry walls. Stop # 3. The Neptunian Dyke. Right in front of our eyes in the quarry we saw an angry-looking crack called a “Neptunian Dyke” illustrated below. We also saw smaller joints or cracks in the individual rock beds nearby. When Chris climbed up one of these four to six-inch cracks or dykes he noticed two sizes of angular breccia. Some of these angular bits of debris were about 5 cms in diameter but parallel on one side there were finer fragments of debris. This observation led to debate between the two professors; and as a result, it was suggested that the splitting of the BRL might have taken place at two different times; hence the two distinctly different sizes of breccia. These fragments were evidence of scree material washed down by water into the cracks. Whatever the explanation, the presence of these dykes suggested that there had been occasional violent storms during the Triassic period. Close-ups showing different sized breccia The fractures had formed in the rock and then became invaded by floods of water depositing Triassic rubble called “breccia” which hardened into iron rich red-brown Triassic rock. This colourful crack is called a “Neptunian Dyke”. These waters may well have joined up into underground river systems commonly found in the Mendip Hills. We understood during the Variscan orogeny about 300 million years ago there had been a north-to-south collision of tectonic plates. This crushing among other things produced a series of anticlines and synclines at 900 due to the compression, such as these two synclines lying in an east-west direction around Weston Bay. They were an example of ductile deformation of the rocks which are shown in the B&W sketch seen above. While these synclines were compressed N-S, they were simultaneously stretched laterally at right angles and weakened resulting in the cracks. By extrapolation the original height of the Mendip Hills might well have reached about 1500 metres higher than where they are today, because of the previous upward deformation. In the arid Triassic desert, it is also possible that temperatures had varied from 400 C, to below freezing and such freezing and thawing would cause the rock to break and split up all those millions of years ago. Stop # 4. Fossil hunt. We took about ten or more minutes to explore all around the quarry in a hunt for fossils. The first, which were quite photogenic were the Caninia fossils, a Carboniferous rugose coral, which is a solitary type. Its cross sections were reinforced by struts called septae. Michelinia to the right Nearby were “colonial” corals or Caninia with their hexagonal shapes containing small creatures supporting each other. Along with all of the above we saw very many bivalve fossils mostly seen unbroken and in profile. Again, we found very few were fractured. One or two of these were about 10 or more cms in length. These too must have perished in calm conditions as they were so intact. (Above right and to the right) There was further excitement when sharp-eyed Stephen noticed two new sizeable species fanning out from their points of attachment to what was then the sea floor. One of these Syringophora measured as much as 20 by 10 cms. One of the two we saw (10 - 15cms in length) was identical to but smaller than the splendid example which we saw at Burrington Combe. To the left Syringophora from Uphill Above right 3D image of Syringophora from internet Finally, some fossils from polished rock at the entrance to the quarry. Stop # 5. The overview. From the path out of the quarry we saw some remnants of small caves in the cliff face. One or two were properly fenced off for safety reasons. We finally left the quarry and climbed up the southerly limb of our syncline, seeing at the top the northerly limb on the other side of the town of Weston-Super-Mare and the bay. These two ridges were clearly the hardest rocks in this area. We noticed too the natural stepped features on the outside of the synclines representing wave-cut platforms and sea cliffs formed by rising and falling sea levels. We were told during the ice-age much water was locked up in the huge thick extensive ice-caps so the sea level here was significantly lower than the level it is today. When the ice melted in the inter-glacial periods the water levels rose again sometimes covering over the moors of the flat Somerset Levels. Looking over the Levels today we could see the prominent chunks of Jurassic rock which must have resisted the wave actions over the ice ages. Brent Knoll and Glastonbury Tor being good examples of resistance. An even better view of the whole area was gained by climbing up an old tower displaying further views of the whole landscape. We could see Glastonbury Tor again to the south-east, we believe its old hard limestone must have resisted tons of the scree-like debris pouring down the sides of the Mendip Hills. Stop # 6. The Norman Church. Here we saw a disused church which was sadly without part of its roof and in disrepair. We noticed slabs of old quarried Ham limestone from near Yeovil which looked so different from the slate material so often seen in buildings in Wells. The windows and external carving looked very much like the familiar Doulting stone in origin. The walls of the church looked as if there were stones so different parts of Somerset included in the making of the walls so many years ago. The group were able to say their farewells after a good lunch provided by the café near the car park. Doug has again provided us with another interesting and enjoyable Field trip. Both our professors were in fine fettle and we do appreciate how fortunate we are for their input and time. I must thank Linda for passing on to me the “meat” of the adventure in her impeccable handwriting; I always depend on Steve’s checking of the Geological terms and my thanks to Sue’s expertise with her camera for the illustrations.

  • Baker, W, Geology of Somerset, Volume 1
    GEOLOGY OP SOMERSET. 127 (©rnlngq nf $mmtt BY MR. W. BAKER. ICOME before you as one of the representatives of the natural history department of this society, to offer a few observations on the most striking geological features of our highly interesting field of research,— the beautiful county of Somerset. The course which I have laid out for myself is, to pass from the oldest formation, in the order of geological time, to our rieh alluvial lands, which are now in a state of accumulation ; and to offer a few brief remarks on the features of the principal formations, merely to open the way for future papers of detail, on the numerous interesting por- tions of the province, which we now call our own. More than thirty years ago, a young member of our very oldest geological family, — syenite— was observed at Hestercombe, one of the extended branches of the Quantock-hills, and the fact re- corded in the transactions of the London Geological 128 PAPERS, ETC. Society, by Leonard Horner, Esq. late president of that Society. —This discovery indicates tliat granite may be found in other parts of our western district. The Quantocks, and the hüls farther west, are the transition, or grauwacke, formation, and are of the lowest sedimentary deposits. Few or no organic remains have been found in the grauwacke of Somerset, but some are known in the sarae class of rocks in Devon and Cornwall. In our hüls, however, we have numerous beds of limestone, rieh in madrepores, corals and encrinites. This limestone is much quarried for manure in several places.

  • Mick Aston's 'Ancient Archaeology in Uphill' Walk
    Mick Aston's 'Ancient Archaeology in Uphill' walk Always follow current UK Government guidelines for COVID-19 (www.gov.uk/ coronavirus) when enjoying this walk and check the most up to date advice before setting off. Before his passing in 2013, the late Mick Aston - best known for his 20 year stint as resident academic on Channel 4's Time Team -was an enthusiastic supporter of The Churches Conservation Trust, help in� us promote and plan a series of projects in Somerset in particular at St Andrew's Church, Holcombe. The Old Church of St Nicholas at Uphill, Somerset, was a particular favourite of Mick's and this walk was suggested by him to explore the beauty of the surrounding area. Mick said: "This beautiful walk takes in stunning views of the Severn Estuary/ Bristol Channel -and the contrasting scenery of the mendips and the Somerset Levels. I particularly like the open grassland of the Mendip limestone upland, the rhynes (ditches) and wetlands of the Levels, the tidal mud of the creek with its changing water levels, the boats at Uphill and the distant views from St Nicholas' Church, Uphill." Walk directions Start - Uphill Boatyard, Uphill Wharf, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 4XR Start by the new flood�ate in Uphill, and walk throu�h the boatyard. Beyond the boatyard, bear ri�ht, and follow the path that runs alon�side the 'pill' or inlet which �ives Uphill its name ('place above the pill or creek'), onto the marshes of the Levels. If you wish, you can also take the alternative route of followin� the base of the limestone cliffs to the left of the boatyard - these cliffs must have been the shoreline many thousands of years a�o and caves with si�ns of early pre­historic occupation have been found in them.

The plan provides management options that aim to ensure that the beach and dunes provide effective flood protection into the future. Three main types of coastal flood defence are present within the study area: sea walls in the northern half of the beach, sand dunes in the southern part of the beach and flood embankments lining the Axe Estuary. Historic mapping, survey data and field observations have been used to assess changes in the form of the beach and dunes and to interpret flows of sediment transport. It is found that the beach has historically remained relatively stable with a general movement of sediment from north to south.

    North Somerset Council Liberal Democrat Group Submission to Local Government Boundary Commission for England North Somerset Further Electoral Review 2013 Apportionment of councillors The new council size has been established as 51 councillors. Apportioning this number among the four towns and the rural area (with a few minor modifications as will be explained in our report) gives the following figures: 2018 Seat Rounded Area electorate entitlement to Weston-super-Mare+Kewstoke+Woodside from Hutton 64,390 19.34 19 Portishead 20,946 6.29 6 Clevedon 17,481 5.25 5 Nailsea+Green Pastures from Wraxall 13,791 4.14 4 Remaining rural area 53,163 15.97 16 Total 169,771 51 50 With rounding the numbers apportioned to the towns & rural area make 50, not 51. On this basis we recommend a 50 member councillor. The average electorate per councillor in 2018 is 3,395. Single member wards We recommend the use of single member wards wherever possible for the following reasons. Single member wards mean that electors can easily identify and have stronger links with their councillor. Also with the reduction in council size, and consequent increase in electorate per councillor, we believe multi-member wards will be both geographically and numerically too large to be practical. Our recommendations for new boundaries Weston-super-Mare The town centre & the north of Weston Our approach here is to expand the present Central parish ward northwards, to take in the north of the High Street and the area around Weston College. This has the advantage of including the whole of the High Street and the central business district in one ward, to be named Central.
