Abstract
The Woolridge Terrace gravels of the lower Severn are re-examined, and certain high-level gravels west of the Severn valley examined for the first time. It is concluded that the deposits are of two different ages. The older series is probably the outwash of a Severn valley glacier, the younger was laid down by a stream coming from the Silurian hills near Ledbury. A Gipping age is suggested for both.Keywords
