A plentiful supply of water was met witb, of a pure character, but 

 unfortunately strongly impregnated with sulphuretted hydrogen gas, 

 which was freely given off when the water was agitated. It is worthy 

 of note that sulphur springs occur at various points along the anticlinal 

 axis ranging through this boring ; amongst them is the sulphur well or 

 Craven Baths, at Skipton, on the opposite side of the valley, and the 

 well-known sulphur springs of Harrogate to the east ; while to the west 

 of Clitheroe one occurs at Standen Brook, to which a bath-house is 

 attached, also south of Worsaw, in Twist's Brook, in Holden Brook, and 

 in the bed of the river Hodder, north of Longridge Fell. The Skipton 

 boring commences 340 feet above the mean sea-level ; the sulphur bath is 

 at 420 feet above the same ; the shale and thin bedded limestones there 

 are vertical.
