Extract

In the report of an excursion organized by the Geologists' Association to Newton Abbot in 1900, Mr. H. B. Woodward stated that a boring had been made by Messrs. Candy & Co. at Heathfield, near the middle of the Bovey Basin, and that it “had been carried to a depth of 520 feet from the surface through clays, sands, and lignites without reaching the base”.
