IV.—The Fluvio-glacial Gravels of the Thames Valley

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

At about 55 miles we reach the Hendon Lobe fan. At Dollis Hill the base of the fluvio-glacial beds lies at a height of about 200 feet, whilst their upper limit at Hendon is about 280 feet. On Finchley Hill to the north-east the Boulder-clay lies between the levels of 240 and 340 feet. This was a small lobe, and the fluvio-glacial fan may have sloped rapidly towards the fluvio-glacial gravels of the main stream. On the section, Fig. 2, the heights are shown without correction for slope towards the River Thames.
