Abstract
This chapter covers sites in the southern-marginal parts of the Pennine Basin, as it laps up against the Wales-Brabant Barrier. There are five main areas of outcrop, which are known, from west to east, as the Shrewsbury, Coalbrookdale, Wyre Forest, South Staffordshire and Warwickshire coalfields; there are also small areas of outcrop in the Clee Hills of Shropshire (Figure 7.1). The coalfields of North Wales (Denbigh and Flint) and a small outcrop in Anglesey, are also in a marginal part of the Pennine Basin, but they contain no sites that merited inclusion in the GCR coverage, and so will only be touched on in passing in this chapter.
