Does anyone know how the name of the Hutton seam was given? I don't know of any other seam named after a person. There was an amateur geologist James Hutton (1726-17970) of Scotland who it may have been named after. Anyone got any better ideas? Ken

Ken No idea, I often wondered how seams were named, some I know were local named and then were accepted as more pits were sunk.

coal seams in Yorkshire were generally named after where they outcropped.
