A Deep Bore in the Cleveland Hills1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
This bore, a recent trial for oil, is situated on the high moorland, rising to just over 1,300 feet above sea-level, in the south-western corner of the Cleveland Hills, where the imposing Jurassic escarpment overlooking the Triassic lowland between Thirsk and Northallerton, suddenly forsakes its northern trend to strike eastwards for about nine miles, before resuming a more northerly course towards Guisborough and the North Sea.
