Sinking of Land at Weat Brook Described by Eyewitness
A town visitor describes a dramatic land sinking at Weat Brook on Tuesday afternoon the 6th last. About 4000 people witnessed the event as eight acres reportedly sank to form a lake and alter the Stroudwater river channel. The area shows blue clay instead of soil, with trees toppled or buried, and a level surface now carved into a hollow. The observer urges scientific investigation.
