PROGRAMME. 
10-30 a.m. Excursion. 
All parties, under the guidance of Mr. Albert Gilligan, B.Sc, F.G.S., 
will meet outside Grove Mills, Meanwood Road, and proceed up the 
Meanwood Valley as far as Adel. There is a frequent service of tram 
cars from the Corn Exchange. 
Mr. Gilligan writes : — Meanwood Beck rises about two miles N.W. of 
Adel, and after a course of about 8 miles empties itself into the Aire, 
south of Leeds. The Roman Camp and Norman Church at Adel are 
well known to all Yorkshire Archaeologists, while the neighbourhood of 
Adel Moor and Crags is much frequented by lovers of the picturesque. 
The upper part of the course of the Beck is over a series of alternating 
beds of grits and shales of the Millstone Grit Series, and the varying 
hardness of these beds has, in a conspicuous manner, determined the 
character of the valley. The Millstone Grit Series dip down stream so 
that the older beds are exposed in the upper part of the course, and 
newer beds appear as one descends the valley. At Meanwoodside the 
valley is crossed in an east and west direction by the great boundary 
fault of the Yorkshire Coalfield. This fault has a downthrow to the 
south of some six to seven hundred feet, bringing Elland Flags 
against the Rough Rock. Just south of the fault a borehole has been 
put down in search of water, and the core has been carefully examined 
by the author with interesting results in the way of fossils. 
Excellent beds of ganister are found in the Lower Coal Measures near 
Woodhouse Ridge, and this has long been worked for making Silica 
bricks. In the quarries opened for this purpose fine examples of 
Sigillaria and Stigmaria in situ were found from time to time 
Unfortunately these are now covered up as is also a good exposure of a 
reversed fault in the same bed. 
Photographs of these by Mr. Godfrey Bingley, can be seen in the 
Proceedings of the Leeds Geological Association. 
Glacialists will find much of interest in the drift to be seen here, which 
contains abundant ganister pebbles and some chert. This drift can 
be traced through West Park, Headingley and Horsforth, to the Aire 
Valley, and it seems clear that it was deposited by a lobe of the Aire 
Valley Glacier which extended over the area mentioned. 
The Museum. 
Those who cannot make it convenient to attend the above excursion will 
find much to interest them in the Leeds Museum. The President and 
Council of the Philosophical and Literary Society kindly invite members 
to visit the Museum. They will be admitted free on showing Member's 
or Associate's Card. There is also an interesting Archaeological collection 
in the Art Gallery, near the Town Hall. 
1-0 p.m. to 2-16 p.m. Luncheon 
Can be obtained at any of the numerous restaurants in the city.
