This gives more information than the previously published six

 some 2 miles away. 



East Bergholt. For Mr. A. D. Halford. 



Made and communicated by Mr. F. Bennett, of Ipswich. 

 Old well 40 feet, deepened to 100. Intended to make it deeper, 

 but stopped by running sand, about a foot thick, at that depth 

 (20 feet of iron-cylinders at the bottom). A bore, of 4 inches diameter, 

 put down by Messrs. Owen (about 1892), to the depth of 242 feet. 

 Water stands about 95 feet down. Supply of good quality, about 

 1600 gallons an hour. 



In the old well clay is said to have been met with a few feet down, 

 and continued, of various colours.

This section gives more exact information than the two very old 

 ones already published. 



The following two sections at Hadleigh give a good deal more 

 information than what we have from the six already published, and 

 the second one seems to point to a channel of Drift.
