The Distribution of Ammonium in Granites from South-West England
Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 145, 1988, pp. 37-41, 1 fig., 5 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland The distribution of ammonium in granites from South-West England A. HALL Department of Geology, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, Egham, Surrey TW20 OEX, UK Abstract: The ammonium contents of granites, pegmatites and hydrothermally altered rocks from SW England have been measured. Ammonium levels in the granites are generally high compared with those from other regions, averaging 36ppm,and they differ markedlybetween intrusions. The pegmatites show higherammonium contents than any other igneous rocks which have yet been investigated. Ammonium contents are strongly enriched in the hydrothermally altered rocks, includ- ing greisens and kaolinized granites. There is agood correlation between the average ammonium content of the intrusions in SW England and their initial "Sr/*'Sr ratios and peraluminosity. This relationship supports the hypothesis that the ammonium in the granites is derived from a sedimentary source, either in the magmatic source region or via contamination of the magma. Introduction Results Ammonium is present as a trace constituent of granitic The granites rocks, in which it occurs in feldspars and micas substituting isomorphously for potassium (Honma & Itihara 1981).

PA12/04228, Pensipple Farm, St Keyne, Liskeard, Cornwall Local Member and Applicant Bernie Ellis Elgin Energy ESCO Ltd Brief Summary The site its located within the Looe and Seaton valley area of great landscape value the nearest main settlement of Trewidland is approx. 400 metres to the north west. The nearest residential properties are located at the site entrance at Old Pensipple and Pensipple to the southwest of the site approx 200 metres away we also have a couple of residential properties there. North Park Farm, currently under consideration it’s about 3.5 KM away so on that basis given the distance and the topography there are no visual cumulative and inter-visibility issues. The entrance for the construction works will be gained from the east of the site and would avoid the narrowest lanes in the area and the village of Trewidland as well. The second view point is taken from the properties to the southwest and there it is true to say that would have the largest visual impact of the development from those two properties. The majority of the solar farm would be visible from those houses. What I would say some mitigation for those visual impacts can be achieved by allowing the existing Cornish hedges to grow up. Councillor Pugh On the middle photograph there you can obviously see a lot of this solar farm. How high do these hedges have to grow to mitigate the view? Planning officer I don’t think realistically the hedges will obliterate the view. We can only soften the impact of the view and its proposed that the hedges will grow to its natural height which can vary around about to 2 metres in shrubs.

The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.
