Whilst engaged in family research, we discovered several members of
the family described as quarrymen or miners, living in Paradise Green
and Manningham between 1852 and 1881. Consulting the local map
suggests that mines and quarries at Clayton may be a likely place of
work.
Can anyone tell me what was being mined at the now disused mine
between Thornton and Clayton in Bradford. Or any source of information
about the mine or nearby quarries.
Thanks in advance for any help
