The discrepant solutions as to the centre of England may be partly due to differing ideas as to what the “centre” of so irregular an area means. I once set about fifty young students of geography to solve it on the following lines: An outline map of England, including Wales but excluding all islands, was to be traced by suitable methods on thin uniform cardboard and cut out with sharp scissors. The centre of gravity of this piece of card was then found in the usual way. Rejecting six or eight determinations which were obviously wrong, a mean of all the remainder was taken and the point indicated is between the villages of Minworth and Curdworth, seven miles N.N.E. of the Town Hall of Birmingham, eight miles N.W. of Meriden Cross, and nearly twenty miles west of the intersection of the Fosse Way with Watling Street at High Cross.—Mr. R.
