Lest we forget ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberfan_disaster This left me with thoughts that popped up in my nightmares for years, although I never lived anywhere with similar risks.

Looking North West, from the edge of the bailey - the main peak is "Mam Tor" , source of an extensive and long-standing land-slip.

Looking NW, from the Old Hall site [by the Keep]. Mam Tor - what looks like a quarry face is actually the back face of the land-slip. It has been moving - and is still doing so - for some 4,000 years. It extends a considerable distance [see notes]
