IV.—On a Section of the Thames Alluvium in Bermondsey

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

During the early part of 1899 extensive excavations were made on the south side of Tooley Street, Bermondsey: just east of Shand Street, and on the site of Nos. 156–164, Tooley Street. The spot is about 250 yards from the present bank of the Thames. The whole area was excavated to a depth of about 10½ feet from the level of the pavement; below this, trenches and holes for the foundations were dug to a further depth of 6 to 8 feet. The section on the south side of the excavation is here given.
