Extract

Wind-worn Pebbles are somewhat rare in England, and accordingly it may be of interest to record the occurrence of a deposit of which they from a prominent feature. This has been met with in several quarry-sections at Hill Top, near Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, at about 350 feet above sea-level. I am indebted to Mr. Willcox, the owner of one of the quarries, for Pointing out these Pebbles to me.

page 299 note 1 One large quartzite Pebble, having a very typically wind-cut appearance, has been found about 1½ miles to the north-east of Bromsgrove, while other Pebbles with a considerable Polish may be seen in the fields near Apesdale. So it is Possible that similar deposits to those at Bromsgrove may eventually be discovered in that neighbourhood also.
