I.—A Contribution to Post-Glacial Geology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In 1871 I read a paper before the Liverpool Geological Society describing the extensive and interesting submarine forests and associated Post-Glacial beds that occur fringing the coasts of Cheshire and of South-West Lancashire.

page 97 note 2 Since writing the above I have found an earlier mention of them in Dr. Aikin's “Description of the Country from Thirty to Forty Miles round Manchester,” published in 1795. In describing Sephton parish he says: “Along the sea-shore, and near the Grange land-mark, are the stumps of several large trees, which, by being in a line and at equal distances, were undoubtedly planted: whence it would seem as if formerly either the climate was not so rough, or the sea did not advance so far, since there would now be no possibility of raising trees in the same situation. It appears, however, as if the sea had formerly overrun a good deal of this country, from the strata of sea-slutch, moss, sand, and shells found in various parts; and the sea now again seem retiring.”
