FOUNDATION STONE DISCOVERY
THE original foundation-stone of Waterloo Bridge
sought ever since the new scheme for the new bridge was decided upon-was found last month during ex- cavations near the south abutment.
Below the bed of the river, hidden amid a mass of piles, the stone was discovered by a ganger.
It still bore the leaden plate which was placed in-position-in 1811, and the inscription was easily discernible.
Behind the plate on the foundation-stone was a glass con- tainer, about 3in. long, hermetically scaled and in an excellent state of preservation.
