message: Though this name is referenced as an alternative to Lincoln Cliff/Edge, I don't have access to the reference and so cannot check it. But is 'Trent Cliff not likely to be the name just of the separate 'cliff' or scarp which rises directly above the tidal section of the River Trent running from Scunthorpe north via Flixborough to Whitton on the Humber? The most prominent part of the scarp between Burton upon Stather and Alkborough is labelled on OS 25K mapping as 'The Cliff'. It is geologically and topographically distinct from Lincoln Edge (as I have always known the main N-S scarp feature) being some 2 - 4 km to its west, and arising where the Scunthorpe Mudstone Formation overlies the Mercia Mudstone and Penarth group rocks. cheers Geopersona (talk) 05:23, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: A Google search for "Trent Cliff" reveals almost nothing about this name in reference to the geological feature.  The results are mainly about a small number of organisations adopting the name for their branding.  These seem localised to the Scunthorpe area (and slightly south including the "Trent Cliff" group of parishes at Hemswell).  The article cites a reference, but that is to a general publication that is not readily available and so unverifiable.  So I have slightly rewritten the lead along these lines, so that the term is slightly less prominent, and to the questionable exact-equivalence of the name to "Lincoln Cliff".

replies: text: I've been thinking some more, and there are two geological features near burton (not hyphenated) that fit this bill. The first goes from the confluence of the Ouse, Trent and Humber at Alkborough in the north, south through Burton upon Stather and Burton Stather on to Flixborough and Scunny, then more or less stops. The Lincoln edge is a few miles further East and runs paralell to what I just described, and much further down the county as described in the article. I think perhaps The Cliff referred to above is not the Edge of this article. I'll see what the internetz can provide to help me in the next few hours. This has been interesting. -Roxy  the grumpy dog. wooF 21:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Both the feature I describe are shown on this OS map. It isn't definitive for our purposes though. (Adding that by shown I mean I can see the contour lines that illustrate this.) - Roxy  the grumpy dog. wooF 21:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there (or has there been) a local history society?  They sometimes produce publications which can be reasonably decent at describing such things.  If you are still local there (or with connections), and/or have access to a local library, do they have anything? Feline Hymnic (talk) 21:56, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
