Sir Albert Ernest Kitson the geologist should not be confused with another Sir Albert Ernest Kitson (1863-1944), the 2nd Baron Airedale, who was his contemporary but is seemingly unrelated. The latter was born into a rich family being the son of the industrialist Sir James Kitson, 1st Baron Airedale, who was one of the founders of Leeds University. The former had to struggle from relatively humble origins to rise to prominence. The title of Baron Airedale was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1907 and became extinct in 1996. ...

The future geologist Kitson was born in North Street, Audenshaw, Cheshire, England, the son of John Kitson from Manchester and Margaret, nee Neil, from Edinburgh, Scotland. On his Father's side the family had been stone masons whilst his maternal grandfather was a Scottish Presbyterian minister. Albert’s early childhood was spent in Nagpur in the Central Provinces of India where his family moved when he was a year old. Around 1876 they emigrated to Victoria (Australia). Here John and Margaret taught at a State School in the gold-mining settlement of Enoch's Point before John was appointed as head teacher of North Winton State School near Benalla.^[1] John died of Angina in 1879 and so until her death in 1898 Margaret took over the running of the school which was attended by both her surviving children- Albert and his younger brother (John) Sidney.

Albert Kitson joined the Public Service in Victoria in 1886 as a clerk. Whilst still employed in this function he also carried out geological field work. This fired a passion and encouraged him to take up part-time studies in geology at the Working Men’s College (Melbourne) and subsequently at the University of Melbourne.^[2] By 1903, he had risen to become second-in-command of the Geological Survey of Victoria of which he subsequently became senior geologist and for a time acting director. He contributed a number of studies on the mineral resources of Victoria and the Glacial beds of Tasmania. In 1907, Albert Kitson recommended that the Buchan Caves in Gippsland, Victoria be set aside as a reservation to protect them from vandalism.^[3] Recognising his geological talents Professor J. W. Gregory recommended him for a post as Principal mineral surveyor in Southern Nigeria.^[4] Melbournes CBD has grown to straddle the Yarra River in three major precincts. ...

So, after his initial work in Victoria Kitson spent much of his subsequent professional life in Africa. In 1909 he discovered black bituminous coal along the Enugu-Udi escarpment in Nigeria and high hopes were placed in such a potenitally important coal deposit. The town of Port Harcourt was built in 1912 as an outlet for this Nigerian coal and was linked with Enugu via a railway line that extended northwards to Kaduna. The Enugu coal fields went into production in 1915 and caused an important immigration of population to Enugu earning the town the nickname of the 'Coal City'.^[5] The Nigerian coal turned out to be of poor quality and was used mainly for domestic consumption within the colonies, providing an important power resource for the railways and electricity.^[6] Port Harcourt is the capital city of Rivers State, Nigeria. ...

After Nigeria, Kitson continued his explorations in Africa working particularly in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) between 1913-30 where he was first Principal of the Mineral Survey and afterwards Director of the Geological Survey. Kitson travelled round the colony by train and bicycle and discovered sizeable mineral deposits including bauxite^[7] and manganese.^[8] These were important to Britain’s war effort, as supplies of these minerals from other locations had become difficult. During the last year of the war 32 000 tons of manganese, used in munitions production, were shipped to Britain from the deposits Kitson had found in the Gold Coast.^[9] Then in February 1919, together with his colleague E.O.Teale (formerly Thiele), he discovered on the Birrim River the first deposits of diamonds to be found in the Gold Coast.^[10] The diamonds were of small size but high quality.^[11] Kitson observed that they were good crystals showing octahedron and dodecahedron.^[12] Gold Coast may refer to: // Gold Coast (British colony), British colony on the Gulf of Guinea in west Africa Brandenburger Gold Coast, former German colony Danish Gold Coast, former Danish colony Dutch Gold Coast, former Dutch colony Portuguese Gold Coast, former Portuguese colony Swedish Gold Coast, former Swedish colony Gold...

Kitson is also associated with the development of hydro-electric power in the Gold Coast/Ghana.^[13] In 1915 he was the first to recommend building a dam at Akosombo on the Volta River to generate hydro-electricity, hoping to use this to process the bauxite deposits which he had discovered in the Kwahu plateau the previous year. It was not until 1965 that the idea of the dam was put into effect when Ghana’s first black president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, decided to generate hydropower as a means of modernizing the economy.^[14] The real value of this project has been the subject of some debate, opponents cite its cost and the disruption to the lifestyle of Akwamu farmers around the dammed site.^[15] Akosombo is a town in Ghana. ...

The Akwamu was a state set up by the Akan people in Ghana which existed in the 1600s and 1700s. ...

After his retirement from the Gold Coast in 1930 Kitson moved to Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, where he called his house 'Benalta' (a reference to the orginal name of Benalla)- as an indication of his enduring passion for Australia. Here he continued to be consulted on geological questions connected to Africa. In particular he reported on gold-fields in Kenya during the so-called Kakamega Gold Rush of the early 1930s where gold-mining once again showed its disrepect for the rights of local communities and the environment.^[16] In his report for the Colonial Office Kitson suggested that possibly as much as half of the gold being prospected was wasted by amateur techniques.^[17] In an article for the magazine The Spectator, Kitson compared the influx of amateur gold-prospectors to a similar situation in Klondike in Canada in 1897-8 : "The road to Kakamega now resembles a minature 'trail of 98' without the snow. Old mining men, from ex-Klondyke Pioneers to Australian backwoodsmen, are hurrying to the spot".^[18] But it seems that Kitson's initial report had helped create the rush in the first place by highlighting the rich pickings available.^[19] As The Spectator noted "Since the publication of Sir Albert Kitson's report, the population of the Kakamega goldfields had doubled".^[20] Kitson's article in this magazine merely fueled the rush still further. Beaconsfield is a market town in Buckinghamshire, England lying almost 25 miles NW of London. ...

Numerous honours came Kitson's way in recognition of his work. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1918 and Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in 1922. In 1927 Kitson was knighted (KBE) for his services to geology. The Geological Society of London elected him as a fellow in 1897, awarded him the Wollaston fund in 1918 before honouring him with the very prestigious Lyell Medal in 1927, an annual award given to an outstanding Earth Scientist. In 1929 he was appointed as President of the Geology Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and, following his retirement, he became President of the Geologists' Association in 1934.^[21] One of the Buchan Caves in Victoria Australia is named after him,^[22] as are a fossil mollusk, a fossil eucalypt and a living eucalypt. Kitson avenue in Takoradi in modern day Ghana is named in his honour. The Geological Society of London is a learned society based in England with the aim of investigating the mineral structure of the Earth.

From his earliest age, Kitson took an interest in the natural world around him. Throughout his career he collected fossils which he would send to museums in Victoria and London. He was fascinated by the Victorian Lyrebird, publishing an article on it for the Smithsonian Institute.^[23] In the Australian bush he learnt a facility to handle snakes and this would later earn him a reputation on the Gold Coast as a fetish priest.^[24] He was also a keen photographer. By the end of his first three years in the Gold Coast he had taken around 450 photos of the colony.^[25] Many of these are preserved in Ghana's national archive (where they are wrongly attributed to E.A.Kitson). A fossil Ammonite Fossils are the mineralized remains of animals or plants or other traces such as footprints. ...

Nicknamed ‘Kittie’, Kitson was a very religious serious-minded man and a teetotaler. He was quite strict as J.N.F.Green makes clear: "Lifelong self-discipline gave Kitson exceptional powers of endurance and concentration in difficult and trying conditions. Somewhat of a driver in the field, he never spared himself, taking the heaviest burden". ^[26] L.J.Spencer, formerly keeper of minerals at the British Museum, described Kitson as "a most energetic little man; his constant companion was a small prospecting pan". Spencer remembered "a journey with him in 1924 in the mining districts of northern Ontario; at every halt of the train he was out with his little pan in any ditch he could find".^[27] At the award of his Lyell medal, Ormsby-Gore spoke of "his tireless energy, but his attractive and stimulating personality".^[28] The centre of the museum was redeveloped in 2000 to become the Great Court, surrounding the original Reading Room. ... Baron Harlech, of Harlech in the County of Merioneth, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. ...

In 1910 he married Margaret Legge, née Walker, who died in 1920. Albert's second wife was Elinore Almond Ramage. Like his mother she was the daughter of a Scottish Presbyterian Minister, although she herself was born in Victoria, Australia. Despite their advancing years (he was in his sixties, she in her forties) the couple had two children in the 1930s: (Ernest) Neil and David. Albert Kitson died in Beaconsfield, England on 8 March 1937 of broncho-pneumonia and influenza.
