Glacial Melt-Water Spillways near Kidsgrove, Staffordshire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
As a result of the drainage contest between the Weaver headstreams and the headstreams of the Trent the west facing edge of the Potteries coalfield has been breached in a number of places, in particular at Kidsgrove. During the last retreat of the ice the Kidsgrove breach came ultimately to act as a spillway for the large lake contained between the ice and the coalfield. Before the breach was uncovered, however, a number of spillways were cut further east.
