The Glaciation of Western Edenside and Adjoining Areas and the Drumlins of Edenside and the Solway Basin

Abstract

This paper is divisible naturally into two parts. The first deals with the glaciation and deglaciation of western Edenside and adjoining areas, including the eastern and north-eastern parts of the Lake District as far north-west as Skiddaw. The work, which was commenced in 1923 as the result of problems which arose during the re-survey of the Brampton Geological Survey Sheet, has been facilitated by the fact that throughout I was in constant touch with Dr. F. M. Trotter, who was investigating the area east of the River Eden at the same time.
