Mem. Lit. and Phil. Soc. Manchester, vol. xiv. p. 59. 

 The spring, on the left bank of the Conway, issues at the rate of 

 40 gallons an hour; its temperature was 11° C., that of the air being 

 15°-5 C. on Sept. 8. From an analysis made in 1871 it appears that 

 the quantity of iron is diminishing. Dr. Hay ward states that the springs 

 occur in Rala limestone, with alum-slate, iron-pyrites, and ironstone.
