Great day out today. Identified unmapped #river #flood #embankments; but the highlight was what must be a #chalybeate #spring (unknown to me) all within three miles of my #cottage. #RiverStride #iron #ferruginous #EnvHist #Nottinghamshire

And following on here are the Staythorpe workings. The most extensive of the three, together with surviving sluice gates. #River #RiverTrent #Embankments #Archaeology #PostMedieval

Not everyday that you identify a hitherto unrecognised class of archaeological site. I present to you, the workings from which materials to build #river #embankments were extracted. Shallow, sub-rectangular cuttings. Three examples I identified today at #Fiskerton #Rolleston and #Staythorpe on the #RiverTrent #Notinghamshire. Interesting, one working per #parish, suggesting #local #community involvement. Ground #photographs with #LiDAR plots. #Archaeology #PostMedieval

Been planning a walk from the Humber Bridge to the Severn Bridge next summer. 250 miles. Along #River #Embankments on the #Humber #RiverTrent #RiverWitham #RiverAvon and #RiverSevern. And through the #LincolnshireWolds #LeicestershireWolds and #Cotswolds. #Midland counties are the most varied and most beautiful in #England. All part of a new #Research project.
