Geosite
This geosite is the best and most easily accessible exposure of the Upper Carboniferous, Salop Formation, Enville member within the geopark.
The exposure has been termed 'the Pudding Rock' by locals and is a large rounded mound of conglomerate remaining after quarrying activities had ceased and workings were restored to form this public parkland. The exposure stands in the centre of what is now well managed recreational park with a range of sporting facilities and children's play areas. The history of the park notes that it was given 'for the use of the public for ever' in 1915 by Mr W A Albright of Messrs Albright and Wilson, a major Black Country chemicals manufacturer and innovator.
