GA002 | P804354 | Harboro' [Harborough] pit, Brassington. Derbyshire, August 2nd 1914. These deposits of brightly coloured sands and clays in various shades of red and yellow with white are found in large irregular hollows in the Carboniferous Limestone occurring between Hartington and Brassington in a N.W. to S.E. direction. These hollows which are sometimes 100 yards across are thought to be swallow holes filled in with fine clay and clean sand with white and red quartzite pebbles. Their age is uncertain - they are evidently preglacial and some go so far as to consider them of Bunter age. The materials have the character of a broken up Kinder Scout Grit and the sands and pebbles agree with the Bunter Beds. The clay obtained here is used by the Derby Porcelain works.

In this case instead of being angular each segment owing to weathering takes a spheroidal form. It is stated that the cause of this is owing to the middle of each spheroid being a centre of crystallisation around which the different minerals of the rock arranged themselves. |

Tufa which also goes by the name of travertin [travertine] or calcareous sinter is a deposit of carbonate of lime thrown down by springs which flow through beds of limestone. In this case at Matlock these specimens are from lime obtained from the Carboniferous limestone. The rain in passing through the atmosphere takes up Carbonic acid and assisted by humic acid from the soil when it sinks into the limestone dissolves portions of it away. When it comes to the surface again in the form of springs it loses some of the carbonic acid and the lime is thrown down in the form of tufa and incrusting any object that happens to be present. |

GA002 | P804473 | The Great Cleft is a fissure running parallel to the face of the cliff thus cutting off a thick slide of rock. Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914. The crack first started in 1886 and had gradually widened year by year but rather more rapidly of late than at first. The base is cut in Upper Greensand the cherty nature of which is is [sic] well seen. Next comes the Lower Chalk about 3ft thick and then White Chalk of the zone of Rhynchonella cuvieri 60 feet thick followed by 71 feet of Terebratulina gracilis zone. |

GA002 | P804487 | At Charton Bay the entire sequence of the Rhaetic Beds can be seen. Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914. The beds are bent into a gentle anticline at the base of which traces of grey marls with reddish tinges may be detected. Above come the grey marls with shale beds, greenish marls and laminated mudstones. Then the Black Shales followed by mammillated Landscape stone and capped by White Lias. [People]. |

GA002 | P804489 | The Hooken Cliffs. [Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914]. On the West side of the Valley of the Axe at South Down between Beer and Branscombe a very considerable landslip occurred in March 1790 which for importance and picturesque effect was unrivalled until the later convulsion at Bindon. |
GA002 | P804490 | The Hooken Cliffs. [Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914]. Here in the middle of the night a tract of from seven to ten acres ranging along the brow of a steep cliff immediately overhanging the sea suddenly sank down from 200 to 260 feet presenting a striking group of shattered pinnacles and columns of chalk intermingled with the sunken fragments of the fields thus torn awar from their native site. |
GA002 | P804491 | The Hooken Cliffs. [Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914]. The remains of hedges still traversed these fragments and a stile was seen undisturbed on the summit of one of the subsided columnar masses. The eye looking from above on this wild scene of ruin saw it finely backed by the deep blue of the channel beneath for in this case the landslip in question formed the first term in the commencement of a new and incipient undercliff which fresh falls and the lapse of centuries will be required to bring into the state of that between Lyme and Seaton. |

GA002 | P804493 | The Hooken Cliffs. [Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914]. It is stated that many previous symptoms had foreshown this catastrophe. A fissure had opened along the line where the disruption afterwards occurred, for months before the subsidence ensued. Another previous sign was given by the stoppage about two years before of a copious stream of very fine water which used to flow out and just below the freestone quarry opened then as now about the middle of the cliff. |

GA002 | P804495 | The Hooken Cliffs. [Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914]. The strong persuasion of the neighbours connects this with the cause of the subsequent convulsion and the probable opinion is that it had forced a new channel through some of the fissures which were then opening. A fresh stream broke out after the landslip nearer the beach. |

GA002 | P804497 | The Hooken Cliffs. [Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914]. The subsided mass pressed forward into the sea so as to approach within 100 yards of a submarine crag called the Sherborne Rock which before then was about 400 yards from the coast line. This subsidence was attended by the same phenomenon as at Culverhole and Whitelands namely the elevation of the adjacent submarine rocks for the fishermen related that joints in which they had laid their crab pots beneath the water and over which they had sailed the night before with a depth of 8 or 10 feet they found to their astonishment raised far above the sea level on the next morning with their pots stranded on a reef at a height of 15 ft in the air. As the catastrophe occurred during the night no eye witnessed it but the fishermen who were out (the night being fine) were alarmed by the continual cracking of the cliff. |
