VI.—Note on a Buried (East Mercian)1 River Channel near Peterborough
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In the Peterborough, Advertiser for December 16, 1911, there appeared an illustrated article on a “recent discovery” of a silted-up pre-glacial river-valley, 250 yards wide, at Fletton, near Peterborough. Eliminating from that article a good deal of scientific romance, there remains a certain residuum of geological facts, so far as the determination of them by the writer of this note has been carried out, through the courtesy of Mr. A. Adams, the Manager of the London Brick Company's works.
