East Dulwich unidentified geological feature trace (Map)

[edhistory]

For ease of reference I have placed a rectangle around the East Dulwich & Nunhead valley.

I have not marked the trace.

Can you see it too?

EDITED: Thread title clarified.

[Mick Mac]

No. Sorry. Not even with my beer glasses.

[Huguenot]

Not quite sure what I can't see....

[Salsaboy]

What aren't we looking for?

[PeckhamRose]

It would be good if this could be placed over a streetmap so we could see where we were, as it were...

Really interesting to see that ridge of hills which I assume are the ones including Forest Hill, Nunhead Cemetery, Rye Hill, and alone to Kingswood Allotments hill by South Circular.

PeckhamRose:

For the purposes of this thread I wanted to use a map totally devoid of distractions caused by human clutter.

Over in the "Clay in the valley" thread cubista has posted the URL for the BGS Geology of Britain Viewer. This should provide the street overlay you want.

Marmora Man:

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's a submarine parked on Mt Ararat.

"That photo" comes from John Nisbet's "The Story of One Tree Hill" published in 1905.

I think I'll park this research topic until I can find a qualified geologist.

I've now attached the map with the trace line but it comes with two warnings:

[1] This may be a cartographic artefact and not exist in the real world.

[2] If it does exist any interpretation is likely to be contentious.

Drop by for a chat if you want to know more.
