Mr or ten m'les round Lofthouse, ""pii? presents an uneven, undulated jf, f aspect, everywhere enclosed and cultivated, and diversified by plantations and hedge-row timber. The village is situated between the Pennine Hills on the west and the great plain of York on the east, and it is equidistant between the west and the east coast. The strata in the immediate neighbourhood consist of alternating beds of clay, gravel, sand, sandstone, shale, and coal, the latter being in many places on or very near the surface. On the eastern edge of the district there is a narrow tract of the Magnesian Limestone running north and south, and beyond that the New Red Sandstone. These strata supply stone for building and other purposes, clay The height of Lofthouse above the sea-level is 300 feet, which is about equal to the height of the limestone ridge which forms the eastern horizon. for bricks and tiles, lime for mortar and manure, and coal for fuel, in unbounded quantity. Stretching from Pontefract towards Leeds there is a peculiar surface fresh-water deposit, consisting, near the former place, of fine brown sand which is extensively mined and quarried for moulding and other purposes, and, more towards Oulton and Leeds, of sand with pebbles and boulders. At Methley, Oulton, and Bell Hill, the sand of this bed is worked much for building and plastering, and the pebbles for garden walks and carriage roads.

Topography and Natural History of Lofthouse and Its Neighbourhood by George Roberts Pdf

Excerpt from Topography and Natural History of Lofthouse and Its Neighbourhood: With the Diary of a Naturalist and Rural Notes It was originally designed that the topographical part should not exceed a chapter of about forty pages, but matter which was considered worthy of being preserved, so accumulated, that, after running to one hundred pages, it was found that a considerable portion would have to be withdrawn. The collect ing and arranging of this extra matter occupied much more time than was anticipated, and this must be the principal apology and explanation to subscribers why such a long time has elapsed since the first issue of the prospectus. The difficulties of gathering together local information from various disconnected or unpublished sources, and the time occupied in examining and sifting documents or statistics, and in ascertaining and verifying names and dates, can only be known and fully understood by those who have attempted similar work. The fragmentary materials of topography that may be collected within the bounds of an obscure village or country parish, can hardly be expectedto possess more than local value still it is hoped' that to the general or distant reader the waifs and strays brought together in the following pages may not be found entirely destitute of interest. I like to catch up the inscription from the mouldering stone, the careless memorandum from the tattered book, or the story of village customs from the tongue of the aged, whether they be valuable or not, before it is too late.
