  • Advisory Visit Cound Brook, Shropshire June 2020
    Advisory Visit Cound Brook, Shropshire June 2020 Author: Tim Jacklin ([email protected], tel. 07876 525457) 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Cound Brook at Eaton Mascott Estate, Shropshire, on 10th June 2020. Comments in this report are based on observations during the site visit and discussions with the landowner. Normal convention is applied with respect to bank identification, i.e. left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream and downstream references are often abbreviated to u/s and d/s, respectively, for convenience. The Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference system is used for identifying specific locations. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The section of the Cound Brook visited is located approximately 4km upstream of its confluence with the River Severn between Atcham and Cressage, south of Shrewsbury. A section of both the Cound Brook and its tributary the Row Brook were inspected upstream of their confluence. The geology of the area is sedimentary bedrock (Salop Formation – mudstone and sandstone, formed approximately 272 to 310 million years ago in the Permian and Carboniferous Periods1), with superficial deposits of river alluvium and glacial till. Soils in the vicinity are sandy and easily eroded. Combined with potato and maize cultivation, this tends to lead to excessive levels of fine sediment reaching the watercourses. In order to meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive, the Environment Agency monitor the quality of watercourses using a number of measured parameters including plant, algae, invertebrate and fish populations, along with physical and chemical measures.

Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society , 15, 28–43. Randall is best known as a Shropshire historian, of especially the Madeley area. He earned his living as a china painter (one of the best at Coalport - which brought him into contact with local raw materials - which he described in his Clay Industries book of 1877), then printer, postmaster and local councillor. But John Randall’s was an extra-ordinary life, both as a centenarian, but also as a prominent amateur geologist and author, the roles examined here. 1Lower Mill Cottage, Furnace Lane, Madeley, Crewe, Cheshire, CW3 9EU, UK. E-mail: [email protected] RANDALL’S CAREER AS AUTHOR Randall's career as an author started in 1850 with the Worcester Literary and Scientific Institution (hereafter WLSI) of 1829. This had grown out of an earlier WL and Philosophical Society of 1821 1, after it had opened its Worcester Athenaeum, also founded in January 1829, on the model of a Mechanics Institute. Their building was a gift from William Laslett, erected in 1834 2, and it lay behind the equally new Museum of Natural History in Foregate Street; being approached by way of the 'Athenaeum Court'. The building contained a lecture hall, 40 ft by 28 ft, which being lit from above, was used for exhibitions of paintings. There were a library, reading rooms, and rooms where evening classes in music, French, Figure 1.

  • An Introduction to 700 Million Years of Earth History in Shropshire and Herefordshire
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) An introduction to 700 million years of earth history in Shropshire and Herefordshire 1 Peter Toghill TOGHILL, P. (2008). An introduction to 700 million years of earth history in Shropshire and Herefordshire. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society, 13, 8–24. The beautiful landscape of the Welsh Marches is underlain by a rock sequence representing 10 of the 12 recognised periods of geological time. This remarkable variety, covering 700 million years of Earth history, has resulted from the interplay of three main factors: (1) erosion and faulting which have produced a very complex outcrop pattern; (2) southern Britain's position near to plate boundaries through most of late Precambrian and Phanerozoic time; and, most importantly, (3) the incredible 12,000 km, 500 million year, journey of southern Britain across the Earth's surface from the southern hemisphere to the northern, caused by plate tectonic processes. 1Church Stretton, Shropshire, UK. E-mail: [email protected] BACKGROUND This paper set the geological scene for the one-day symposium at Ludlow forming the centrepiece of the 2007 Marches Festival of Geology. However, this is not the place to provide a detailed description of the geology of Shropshire per se, for which the reader is referred to Peter Toghill’s Geology of Shropshire (2006), thereby to benefit from the author’s detailed knowledge of the local geology. The beautiful landscape of the Welsh Marches is underlain by a rock sequence representing ten of the twelve recognised periods of geological time (10 out of 13 if the Tertiary is subdivided into two periods).
