mellor is located on a gritstone area in an area of the peak district referred to as the dark peak. (in contrast, the limestone region of the peak district is referred to as the white peak.) the underlying geology of the area belongs to the carboniferous millstone grit series which are outcrop as the middle grit. below this are shales and mudstones and older gritstones such as the kinder scout grit which forms the kinder plateau to the east. small seams of coal have been found in mellor, over the gritstone. boulder clay, left from the ice age, can usually be found just below the surface-level soil. at one point, all of the peak district – mellor included – was submerged beneath relatively warm waters. evidence for this is the limestone region, with the limestone containing fossils of coral and other shallow-depth warm-water creatures.
