129.—Grotocican Norrs on a Recent Sewer Section at Park 
Hitt Rise, Croypon. 
By H. Franxun Parsons, M.D., F.G.S. 
(Read February 18th, 1896.) 
In the autumn of 1895 the relaying, at an increased depth, of 
the sewer in Park Hill Rise, Croydon, afforded an opportunity 
for some observations of the strata in the neighbourhood of the 
classic section in the Park Hill cutting of the Woodside and 
South Croydon Railway, so well described by our member, Mr. 
H. M. Klaassen, in the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Asso- 
ciation, vol. viii. No. 4. 
Park Hill Rise is a road leading out of the Addiscombe Road , 
(or Upper Addiscombe Road) on its south side, about 700 yards 
east of East Croydon railway station, and an equal distance 
west of the point where that road crosses the cutting of the 
Woodside and South Croydon Railway. From the junction 
with Addiscombe Road its direction is south for about 70 yards, 
and then nearly south-east; and it is joined on the south-west 
side by the Chepstow Road at a point about 240 yards distant, 
and by the Chichester Road at one about 550 yards distant, from 
the Addiscombe Road. Beyond Chichester Road, Park Hill Rise 
is laid out as far as a point where it crosses the tunnel of the 
Woodside and South Croydon Railway (the southern tunnel in 
Mr. Klaassen’s section); but the new sewer was not laid beyond 
the junction of the Chichester Road. ‘The section to be de- 
scribed in this paper therefore does not intersect Mr. Klaassen’s, 
but ends at a point about 150 yards short of it; and its direction
