The talk will describe how Mother Nature provided this landscape with one of the richest and most varied treasure chest of minerals over geological time. It will explain how and why these minerals formed here, what scientific treasures that these layers contained and how this natural heritage provided raw materials for some very clever and brave people to create a landscape of invention. It will finish with a discussion of the recent work that secured the UNESCO designation as a Global Geopark for the Black Country on the basis of its world class geology and related biological and cultural heritage.
