GEOLOGISTS Dr Haydon Bailey and Dr Nicholas Pierpoint, President of the Geologists’ Association of London travelled to present a Certificate of Excellence to Cumbria GeoConservation, for its geology project at Brown Howe quarry, Blawith, near Coniston.
An interpretation board clearly explains the geological background to the quarry, which once worked a pink rock which appears to be an offshoot from the Shap granite.
The board would not have been possible without a generous donation from the GA Curry Fund.
Its chair Dr Haydon Bailey said that the Cumbria GeoConservation Brown Howe geology project was top of the list of projects that they had funded in 2018.
He presented the certificate to Dr John Lackie, Chair of Cumbria GeoConservation.
