EeEVATion. The mean elevation of the Borough is about 28^ feet above sea level, and varies between about 97 feet at War- breck Hill, and about 9I feet in the field north of Bloomfield Road (West). Blackpool presents the curious condition that the main direction of the natural drainage is away from the sea. Commencing at the north end, there is a depression near the Gynn Inn, not extending far inland, and then the land rises to the top of Warbreck Hill, with a short slo]ie towards the sea, and a longer slope inland. There is a long slope also in a southerly direction to about the Manchester Hotel, where the main sewer outfall is situated. South of this, to the boundary between Blackpool and St. Aimes, the surface is very flat, and averages only about 20 feet](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28932237_0010.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
