BEDFORD : EVIDENCE OF GLACIAL ACTION NEAR LEEDS. 71 
Headingley Hill from the direction of Meanwood "Wood, as proved by 
a section exposed a few years ago near the Pumping Station at 
Headingley. This consisted of eight or nine feet of yellow sand and 
clay, full of rounded blocks of Millstone grit ; this deposit is on the 
Elland flagstone or the shales immediately below it. Patches of clay 
overlie large areas in this district although the elevation is consider- 
ably above the levels of the neighbouring valleys. This clay may 
have resulted from glaciation, but it has been so much disturbed by 
roots of trees, when the great forest stretched over it, and by subse- 
quent rain-wash, that little now remains on which to base any 
theories.
