Abstract
The area dealt with in this chapter lies between the Pennine Basin and the Southern Uplands Massif (Figure 11.1). It mainly covers present day Northumberland, Durham and Cumbria, although (despite the name generally given to the area) it also extends into the southernmost parts of Scotland. It is in effect a northern continuation of the Central Province/Pennine Basin, and some authors do not distinguish between them. However, there are a number of distinctive characters of the depositional regime in these northern areas, both in the Namurian and the Westphalian, and so they have been allocated a separate chapter in this review.
