Ferryhill

The Archaeology Practice, a well established community archaeology group, asked Northumbrian Earth to work with it to deliver the geo-diversity elements of the Ferryhill Village Atlas. http://www.archaeologicalpractice.co.uk/projects/current/ferryhill/index.htm

This community which flourished as a coal mining community is located next to Thrislington Quarry famous for its fossil fishes and sharks. Northumbrian Earth has already delivered the first of several activity based geo-diversity lessons to a local primary school and will also be working on some geo-diversity research and building material identification with the community.

Testimonials

  • "Ian Kille is an absolute authority on the geology of Northumberland. His knowledge is unmatched, his presentation is perfect and his enthusiasm is unbridled. Ian has lead a series of walks for us along the Northumberland Coast AONB over the last two years and every walk has been immensely enjoyable, thoroughly entertaining and incredibly educational. He is able to explain complex geological sequences across enormous timescales to young and old alike and has piqued a geological interest in many that has kept the audience coming back for all of his walks."
