JOWETT AND MUFF ! GLACIATION OF BRADFORD, ETC. 239 
The waters thus discharging into the Newsholme Lake 
were held up by a long ice-front against the northern slopes 
of Combe Hill. There was hardly a lake in the Glusburn Valley 
in the same sense as there was one in the Harden Valley, but 
it will be convenient to speak of the water impounded against 
the northern slope of Combe Hill as the Glusburn Lake. 
It has already been pointed out that there was a movement 
of the ice from west to east across the Pennine divide to the 
north of Combe Hill (p. 200). The ice therefore was pressing 
in on the western flanks of the hill, and the impounded water 
naturally found its lowest escape across the north-eastern 
shoulder. That during the period of maximum glaciation the

water escaped across the south-west shoulder of the hill is 
due to the peculiar conformation of the ground in the vicinity. 
The highest overflow channel to be noted is Smallden 
Clough, a well-marked valley cutting through the watershed 
one mile to the south of Earl Crag. Its intake-level is 1,175 
feet. 
The next outlet was Statesden Clough, a deep gorge through 
the watershed, running parallel to Smallden Clough and about 
one-third of a mile to the north-east of it. These two valleys 
isolate the hill on which the Hitchingstone lies (p. 212). Statesden 
Clough has an intake level of 1,120 feet, and opens out at its 
lower end at the 1,000-feet contour line.
