Introduction What is Geodiversity? The term geodiversity has evolved from the word biodiversity (the variety of the living world). It is thought of as complement to biodiversity, covering all aspects of the non-living world. It is defined as: The variety of rocks, minerals, fossils, drift, landforms and soils. It includes their processes and relationships to people, places and nature. Worcestershire is an area with an outstanding geodiversity spanning 680 million years of Earth History (see Appendix 1 for geology summary). The underlying rock and soil features are clearly reflected in the landscape, natural habitats, land-use and settlement patterns. The purpose of this document The purpose of this document is to give a more detailed overview of the proposed Geodiversity Action Plan (GAP) for Worcestershire and to consult on the proposed aims, actions and targets.

  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury
