Description: The caves layer provides indicative information about the locations of known caves. These are man made caves excavated mainly in the Nottingham Castle Sandstone Formation. For the most part the Nottingham Castle Sandstone Formation consists of weakly cemented, generally well-sorted, medium- to coarse-grained sandstones which contain scattered or, locally, abundant pebbles. Most of the sandstone is weak to moderately strong, the exception being where unusually strong matrix cement, such as barite, is locally present. These properties have enabled this formation, in Nottingham, to be tunnelled, in areas of low-water table, to provide cellars, store rooms, dwellings and passages. Dataset created by British Geological Survey (BGS) from historical analogue records held. Source of each individual cave record can be found under SOURCE field in attribute table. Dataset purchased by Nottingham City Council to aid geological knowledge of city and potential pathways for ground contamination. The data was originally updated by BGS in 2010 following corrections provided by Nottingham City Council, but is no longer maintained by BGS. This data has now been combined with more recent data from Nottingham City Council's Historic Environment Record (HER) database, with new caves added to the datasets as they are discovered.It is expected that other caves exist within the city, on any site where the bedrock geology is Chester Formation or Lenton Formation sandstone, and therefore the absence of a cave in the caves layer should not be taken as evidence of the absence of a cave on a particular site. It is essential that the Nottingham City Historic Environment Record (HER) is consulted (at pre-application stage) for all planning/development enquiries where caves are known to exist, or where there is the potential for caves to exist.
