No. 13.—Brunswick Square, Camberwell.
Loamy clay to about 12ft. deep, then gravel; at
14ft. (in rough gravel) water line struck; this strata
continued to about 22ft. A further excavation to
25ft. was made for storage room, the latter 3ft. in a
mixture of gravel and clay. There was a very fair
supply of water when pumped out, and no doubt
need be entertained that this will be a very useful
well.
