New developments in the Late Carboniferous geology of the central Pennines, northern England: a review

SUMMARY This paper provides an overview of recent work on the Silesian geology of the central Pennines, northern England, and acts as an introduction to the thematic set of papers presented in this issue of the Proceedings. The thematic set includes a paper derived from the Yorkshire Geological Society field meeting to Bradford, held on 16 and 17 September 1995 ( Waters et al. this volume).
