Dear Liam,
Since bulging/cambering is associated with periglacial (glacial?) conditions
I would have thought you could well find such features in North Kent,
although all the classic observations are from northern England (probably
because that was where they were building the dams!). Have you checked the
classic paper by Higginbottom & Fookes (QJEG, 1970, 3, pp 85-117)?

Subject: valley bulging/cambering
I would be grateful if any member could give any references or information
on valley bulging and cambering in the Chalk. I am presently looking at a
site in north Kent and am interested to know if these processes occur in
this area.
