The Wellingborough district lies in the south-east of the English Midlands, and includes parts of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. The topography of the region is that of a plateau dissected by the rivers Nene and Great Ouse and their tributaries. Jurassic strata underlie the entire district but older rocks have been proved at depth and include Palaeozoic and Triassic strata. However the Whitby Mudstone Formation, the upper part of the Lias Group, is the oldest bedrock to outcrop at the surface. Ironstone of the Northampton Sand Formation has been worked extensively and a description of this and other mineral resources is given in this book.
