  • Oresome North Pennines: Site Overview
    OREsome North Pennines: Site Overview Whitesike and Bentyfield lead mines and ore works Fig. 1: Whitesike and Bentyfield Mines viewed from the B6277 road, looking east SAM list entry number: 1015832 Other designations: Whitesike Mine and Flinty Fell SSSI Grid ref.: NY751425 County: Cumbria District/Parish: Eden, Alston Moor Altitude: 430-460m SAM area: 3.32 hectares Habitats: Narrow valley with sheep pasture, scrub and mine workings Highlights Archaeology: The dressing floors of Whitesike and Bentyfield ore works retain especially deep stratified deposits including areas that are waterlogged, which is ideal for the preservation of organic materials, such as wood and leather. Nationally important remains of 19th century ore processing equipment is considered to survive within these deposits, which will provide very valuable information about ore processing technology. The two linked mines form typical examples of mid-19th century mine complexes and as they are crossed by a footpath, they are an educational resource and public amenity. Botany: This site includes one of the richest calaminarian grassland communities remaining on the North Pennine lead mines, with the full suite of North Pennine metallophyte plants all thriving and a rich diversity of other plants, lichens and bryophytes. Thrift is declining throughout this area and the vigorous population at Whitesike may be the largest and most healthy left in the North Pennines, so it is considered to be of at least regional importance. 1 Geology: There is an exposure of the sponge and coral bearing limestone at location 6 on the geological features map. This bed is widely present across the Northern Pennines, but its location here alongside a footpath makes this an important educational and interpretation resource.

Label the mountain and its height in metres. How are mountain areas shown on maps? Find out about contour lines and look at some examples on Ordnance Survey maps. • Pennines • Cumbrian Mountains • Sperrin Mountains • Grampians • Snowdonia • Dartmoor https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/z4g3qp3 QUIZ Which country is the Sperrin Range in? What is the highest mountain in the whole of the UK? Which range is the furthest south? Which parts of the UK have no mountainous areas? Which ranges are easily accessible from Bolton? Which mountain in the UK has a ski slope? Which mountain has a train going to the top? Local Study: The Pennines The Pennines are a mountain range in England. Often said to be the "backbone of England", they form an unbroken range stretching from the Peak District in the Midlands, through the Yorkshire Dales, parts of Greater Manchester, the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire and Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border. Their total length is about 250 mi (402 km). The name Pennines is believed to come from the Celtic pennioroches, meaning "hill", although the earliest written reference to the name dates only from the 18th century. Altitude and size The mountains are not very tall and are often called hills. The highest is Cross Fell in eastern Cumbria, at 893 m (2,930 ft).

  • North West England & Isle of Man: Climate
    North West England & Isle of Man: climate This describes the main features of the climate of Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, part of North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man. The eastern boundary of the region lies along the watershed of the Pennines. There are several distinct geographical areas within the region. Much of the area west of the Pennines from Lancashire southwards forms part of a plain, mainly below 150 metres, with westward draining rivers such as the Mersey, Ribble and Lune. Liverpool and Manchester are the main centres of population. To the east, the Pennines are a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire and Yorkshire. The Lake District in Cumbria includes Scafell Pike (978 metres), the highest mountain in England, and Windermere, the largest lake. To the north and NE, there is further low ground (below 60 metres) in the Vale of Eden and the Solway Plain, close to Carlisle. Most of the Isle of Man consists of a central mountain mass rising to 621 metres on Snaefell. Douglas is the main town and the centre of the island's tourist industry. The range of topography and altitude found in both NW England and the Isle of Man provide a climate of great variety, and the region includes both the coldest place in England (Cross Fell in the Pennines) and the wettest place in England (the Lakeland fells around Seathwaite in Cumbria).

  • The Medieval Origins of South Pennine Farms: the Case of Westmondhalgh Bierlow*
    The medieval origins of south Pennine farms: the case of Westmondhalgh Bierlow* the medieval origins of south pennine farms by David Hey Abstract The scattered farmsteads of the Pennine foothills of south-west Yorkshire rarely offer visual clues to the antiquity of their sites. Most of their names are first recorded in the early modern period, yet if we examine the surnames that are associated with them we find that many were founded well before the Black Death. This is a much older settled landscape than at first appears. The importance of the hamlet as the basic unit of farming systems is emphasized, and evidence is provided for small arable townfields, divided into doles, and extensive moorland commons whose boundaries are marked by deep ditches that have wrongly been interpreted as linear defences from the Romano-British or Anglian period. Modern studies have provided us with a general understanding of how farms were created on the edges of moorland in different parts of England during the period of population growth between the twelfth and early fourteenth centuries. The pioneering work of Margaret Faull and Stephen Moorhouse on West Yorkshire, of John McDonnell on the North York Moors, of Angus Winchester on the Lake District, the northern Pennines and the Scottish Borders, and of Harold Fox on Dartmoor is well known.1 In recent years the late Richard Britnell and Brian Roberts have led a team in an ESRC-funded project on settlement and waste in the Palatinate of Durham, including the western High Pennines, where the extent of waste by the early fourteenth century differed little from today.2 Yet there is still much scope for local studies of the predominantly pastoral and weakly manorialized territories that characterized the gritstone moorlands and which differed considerably from, say, ‘the islands of cultivated land in a sea of waste’ on the magnesian limestone district of south-east County Durham.
