Excerpt from Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Great Britain and of the Museum of Practical Geology: The Geology of the Country Round Stockport, Macclesfield, Congleton, and Leek

In the following description of the geological structure of the country around Stockport, Macclesfield, Congleton, and Leek, Mr. Edward Hull and Mr. A. H. Green have faithfully worked out all the details of the Lower Carboniferous rocks, and have clearly shown the age and relationship of beds hitherto imperfectly understood. They have very properly adopted as far as possible the terminology used by Professor John Phillips in his work on the Geology of Yorkshire, and there is good reason to hope, that the sub-divisions of the Yoredale group, which they have established in this southern region, will be found to agree with those laid down in that able work.
