23rd July – How did Hampshire Get That Way? – John Firth

What geology and archæology can tell us

After a short discussion of the county’s geography and the types of geological and archæological evidence John will summarise what is known about Hampshire and the geological processes that led to its present structure.

Brief Bio

John Firth has lived in Berkshire, near the border with Hampshire, for thirty-three years. His books on geology and archæology were born during walks round both counties, finding interesting places and trying to tell people how to find them and what to look for.

He is neither a geologist nor an archæologist.

John is the author of “Geology and Archaeology of Hampshire: For People Who Aren’t Geologists or Archaeologists” and is a member of the Newbury Geology Society.
