The Lambourn river, in Berkshire, which rises from springs in the Chalk hills between Up-Lambourn and Chipping-Lambourn, and receives other springs lower down, has been dry for about six miles between Lambourn and Shefford this winter; and the Winterbourn, a smaller stream, which rises close to the Ford, at Chapel Copse on the Leckhampstead estate, near Chieveley, has also been dry from its source to near Bagnor (nearly four miles), where it joins the Lambourn.
