Explanation:
'Local Geology
Today, East Anglia is characterised by farmland plains, rolling hills, fens and waterways. But if we could peel away the surface of the landscape - the cities, towns, trees and fields - we would see the rocks beneath. These rocks tell a story of a landscape once very different to that of today, and we find that the geological history of East Anglia is more varied than the landscape suggests.'
(http://www.sedgwickmuseum.org/exhibits/local.html)

'Local Geology
The geology of the Bolton district is dominated by the shales and sandstones of the Carboniferous period. These are rocks formed between 360 and 299 million years ago. They are often coal-bearing rocks.
Some Permo-Triassic sandstones, around 250 million years old, are seen in the south and east of the region.
In this section of the website we will focus on Bolton’s geological sites and history.'
