Bucknall
glacial erratic
This
rock, which is near the junction of Beverley
Drive and Malthouse Road, has been chosen as a Natural Heritage Site
because of its geological importance. Glacial
erratic are rocks which have formed outside the
Potteries many millions of years ago and were
picked up and moved by an ice sheet during the
last ice age. When the ice melted it dropped the
rock. This glacial erratic has been rolled a few
metres from its original place to allow for the
building of a new medical centre.
