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.

GA002 P804337 Darley Dale Quarry. Derbyshire, August 1st 1914. On examination it appears that some of the layers had their origin from reef like accumulations very much like those in the Pacific coral islands and shell banks while others were more fragmental and made up of broken corals, crinoid stems and shells which the waves had spread over the sea bottom.

GA002 P804348 [Joints]. Derbyshire, August 1st 1914. In these scars are frequently seen joints like the above which are formed by shrinkage and sometimes by disturbance. These cracks which are generally at right angles to the bedding are gradually enlanged by the action of water.
GA002 P804349 Tufa Quarry, Alport. This creamy white rock is formed by the deposition of lime from calcareous springs and is of variable texture, in places being hard and crystalline and in others soft, friable and cellular. Derbyshire, August 1st 1914. [Person].
GA002 P804350 Old Mill Quarry,Stanton Mill. The Black Shales of the Pendleside Series containing Posidoniella laevis are here seen to rest with unconformity on the limestones of the Lonsdalia subzone. Derbyshire, August 1st 1914. The shales which show no signs of disturbance rest evenly upon a surface formed by the truncated edges of the limestone beds. This shows the commencement of an anticlinal dome of limestone. If stripped of the shale above, the dome would have a knoll like aspect thus indicating contemporaneous elevation and erosion causing local unconformity. Added note: Grey limestones with strong chert, Carboniferous Limestone, Lonsdalia sub-zone. Black Shales, Pendleside Series.

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.

GA002 P804363 ??????. Derbyshire, August 3rd 1914. In the process of cooling and contraction this rock frequently assumes a columnar structure and often divided by cross joints. 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.

GA002 P804371 Tufa. Matlock Bath. Derbyshire, August 3rd 1914. 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 P804477 The Chapel Rock. Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914. The Chapel Rock is a lofty detached mass of Chalk of the zones of Terebratulina gracilis, Holaster planus, and Micraster cor-testudinarium which has slipped from the main face of Pinhay Cliffs. It is between 120 and 130 ft high.

GA002 P804483 Pinhay Bay. This ravine and watercourse coincides with a fault that throws down the Blue Lias limestones some 40 feet on the west. On the east the lowest beds of the Lias are seen resting on the White Lias. Excursion to Lyme Regis, June 2nd 1914.

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.
