Bulletin of the North Staffordshire Group of the Geologists’ Association Number 126 Page 2 Sunday 26 May 2019 – 11.00 am – Joint with EMGS Centenary of first UK oil discovery at Hardstoft, Derbyshire Tim Pharoah and Kevin Topham Meeting place: Oilwell Nursery, Chesterfield Rd, Tibshelf DE55 5NP This is a two part visit. The morning will be spent at the Oilwell Nursery which is the site of the first discovery of oil in the UK on 27 May 1919. Philip Schofield of Oilwell Nurseries will welcome us and Tim Pharoah of the BGS will describe the reasons behind the search for UK oil at the time and why Hardstoft was selected as one of the drilling sites. We will then travel to Kelham Hall, between Southwell and Newark (postcode NG23 5QX), at 2 pm to visit the museum dedicated to the WW2 Eakring oil and the early North Sea gas discoveries. Its founder, Kevin Topham, will talk about his involvement in the early offshore exploration, including the Sea Gem disaster. Lunch on route – many pubs / cafes on the way. Wednesday 12 June 2019 – Evening Walk 18:00 start Duckmanton Cutting, Derbyshire Paul Guion Meet at car park in Arkwright Town (SK 427 708; Post Code S44 5BW), which is reached from the A632 Chesterfield to Bolsover road. At the roundabout at the entrance to Arkwright Town, turn onto Hardwick Drive. At the next roundabout turn right and then immediately right into the car park. Participants will be required to wear hard hats and high-vis jackets. It is likely to be wet underfoot, so wellingtons are advised. There are no toilets at Duckmanton Cutting, but plenty of undergrowth! Coal-bearing Carboniferous rocks of Derbyshire occur within the East Pennine Coalfield, which extends northwards into Yorkshire, and was formerly worked extensively for coal and other natural resources. Exploitation of these resources has declined in recent years, and many former workings infilled, hence opportunities to view such rocks at outcrop are few. The objective of the trip is to view coal seams and associated strata at one of the limited outcrops available. Late Langsettian and early Duckmantian rocks will be examined during the trip. Sunday 14 July 2019 – 11:00 start Titterstone Clee Hill, Shropshire Andrew Jenkinson (SGS) Meet at the car park in Clee Village on the A4117 at the cattle grid. (SO594 753). The visit will concentrate on Titterstone Clee Hill examining the Carboniferous sediments and the dolerite intrusion (Dhustone). There are excellent views from the summit. Cars will be used to limit the walking. Bring a packed lunch (the village cafe & pub are both closed). The visit should finish at 5.00pm. April 2019 Bulletin of the North Staffordshire Group of the Geologists’ Association Number 126 Page 3 GeoWeek 4-12 May 2019 GeoWeek is a new initiative that aims to promote 'active geoscience' via a nine-day 'week' of fieldwork activities taking place across the UK between 4 and 12 May 2019. GeoWeek seeks to introduce as many members of the public to geoscience as possible, mainly through outdoor activities such as urban, rural or coastal fieldwork. More details of activities on the web at www.geoweek.org.uk or their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GeoWeekUKI/. GeoWeek: The NSSGGA at Biddulph Grange Sunday May 5th 12:00-15:00 GeoMaps Rock! Augmented Reality Sandbox and Digital Mapping of the Geology of the Local Area. An Augmented Reality Sandbox will be on display. Visitors will be able to create landscape models by shaping sand while, at the same time, 3D computer visualisation techniques will be used to generate a terrain colour map and topographic contour lines, as well as the formation of water bodies such as lakes. The system provides an effective way of teaching map reading skills, as well as visualising a variety of geographical, geological and hydrological concepts. The sandbox was built by staff in the School of Geology, Geography and the Environment at Keele University. It works by combining data gathered by an Xbox Kinect sensor, which measures the distance from the sensor to the sand below, and a piece of clever software assigns a colour to this distance which is then projected onto the sand. Visitors are invited to play with the sand and to use their imagination to create beautiful landscapes. There will also be an interactive display of the geology of the local area using digital mapping techniques.

Enter the University by the North Entrance, off the A52, and follow signs to the main Visitor Car Park. As you enter the car park, the Sir Clive Granger building is on your left. The Society is indebted to the School of Geography at the University, who are sponsoring our lectures, for the use of these facilities. Saturday, 13th April 2019 – 6,00 pm Speakers: Dr Tony Waltham and Dr Noel Worley Derbyshire Blue John Revisited Blue John fluorite is one of the few minerals that can be claimed as unique to Britain. The banded purple and yellow colouring of the material extracted from Treak Cliff at Castleton cannot be matched by fluorite that is known from anywhere else in the world. The reason for its rarity lies in the unusual geology of the reef limestone of Treak Cliff. When cut and worked into ornaments or jewellery, Blue John is beautiful. The definitive book on Derbyshire Blue John was written 20 years ago by Trevor Ford, but has long been out of print. A new, up-dated and improved edition has been prepared for publication by the Society. In the two-part lecture, Tony Waltham presents an overview of Blue John, its mining and its uses as a decorative stone.

The new Plan will include strategies and policies concerning the winning and working of hydrocarbon based energy minerals. This paper provides information about oil and gas obtained from conventional sources whilst corresponding papers focus on unconventional sources such as gas from coal and shale gas. The production of separate papers reflects the issues that have been raised in previous consultation exercises and the views expressed to the County and City Councils in response to publicity for individual planning applications. Some of the issues and legislative provisions are common to all three forms of hydrocarbon developments and therefore there is some level of duplication in the papers but this is necessary to ensure that each one provides a comprehensive review of the issues for those who read them individually. 1.2 Oil and gas (forms of hydrocarbons) are important sources of energy in the UK where they are primarily used as fuel, although some components are also used as a raw material for the petro-chemical industry and in the manufacturing of drugs and plastics.

  • Chapter 2 Spatial Context Chapter
    DERBYSHIRE AND DERBY MINERALS LOCAL PLAN Towards a Minerals Local Plan: Spring 2018 Consultation CHAPTER 2 SPATIAL CONTEXT December 2017 Introduction 2.1 Derbyshire is renowned for its stunning and diverse landscapes, which underpin a valuable leisure and tourism industry. The underlying mineral resources have, to a large degree, helped shape these landscapes. The county is a national leader in minerals production, exhibiting a wealth and diversity of important mineral resources, which bring significant benefits to the area and the UK as a whole, in terms of jobs and economic prosperity and the many products derived from minerals which underpin our modern way of life. Appropriately restored mineral sites have also been of benefit to the environment and biodiversity interests and from the new uses which have been made of restored sites. Mineral development can also bring negative impacts, particularly in terms of the social and environmental impact of extracting the minerals. 2.2 Derbyshire and Derby cover a total area of 983 square miles (including the area of the Peak District National Park (PDNP) which lies within Derbyshire). The Plan area (as shown on Map 1) does not include the PDNP, which covers much of the north-west of the county. Within the county of Derbyshire, there are eight district and borough councils; Amber Valley Borough, Bolsover District, Chesterfield Borough, Derbyshire Dales District, Erewash Borough, High Peak District, North East Derbyshire District and South Derbyshire District. Derby City is a unitary authority, situated in the southern part of the Plan area. 2.3 Map 1 gives a broad picture of the geography of Derbyshire and Derby.

  • North Derbyshire Collieries
    28/01/2009 [email protected] NORTH DERBYSHIRE COLLIERIES http://Myweb.tiscali.co.uk/colliery | by A N Bridgewater North Derbyshire Collieries North Derbyshire Collieries. When I started preserving the history of a few of the collieries and Ironworks that I came across, namely Barlow Monkwood and The Arkwright Adelphi, little did I know how many others I would come across in the fullness of time. As I worked with the „Back to the Future Group‟ at Arkwright to preserve the history of the village and in my case the Adelphi Ironworks before the bulldozers moved on the opencast site, the list of collieries I wanted to know about grew. I thought that I would be able pluck a book off the shelves at the library and find out who owned and worked the old collieries shown on the local Ordnance Survey maps and mentioned in the Derbyshire Times and Derbyshire Courier. Unfortunately the book does not exist. There is a little information available on older Derbyshire collieries so I have set out to catalogue and document this information and expand on it to the neglect of the larger collieries which have had many books written about them. I make no apologies for my neglect of the newer, larger collieries. I have tried to outline areas of mining along with individual mines; I have also tried to find where they were by extracting a grid reference for as many of the individual mines as was possible. The Coal Authority at Mansfield has the Abandonment plans for most, but not all collieries since 1850 but these do not give one the full picture.
