Excerpt from The Geology of Part of Northumberland, Including the Country Between Wooler and Coldstream: Explanation of Quarter-Sheet 110 S. W., New Series, Sheet 3

Looking down the College from near its head the little valley that opens out at the opposite side of the Bowmont by Canno Mill seems in much the same straight line, and might by a stranger be hastily assumed a direct continuation of it. The line of view passes, however, on the W. Side of the Bell, Heath pool, which is not the present course of the College, and also right across the Bowmont Valley. Standing on the top of the Bell one can scarcely help noticing how Opposed it is to the previous direction of the College, and how, like a strong bulwark, it appears to have turned it aside to the east. The depression on the W. Side is in a more'direct line than the one now followed, and with a bottom not much (above 100 feet) higher than the stream course. There are no indications, however, of the burn ever having gone through this depression, and the bottom of it is not of drift, but of rock. The rock is partly crushed and veined, so that there may be some disturbance going through and, perhaps, causing it. C. T. C.
