Framing Milford’s Landscape: A Geological History by David Clark
David Clark provides a summary of modern research into the geological history of the landscape around Milford over the last 65 million years. It describes how the bedrock, now exposed in the cliffs of Christchurch Bay, was deposited over the chalk of the Hampshire Basin; how the modern topography of the area was later shaped by an ancient Solent River during successive ice ages; and how Christchurch Bay was opened up over the past 10,000 years, when the Isle of Wight was cut off from the mainland, and how far the cliffs have retreated in that time.
