Can anyone on the list provide me with any information regarding "Corksheets Colliery". The only information I have related to this mine is that it was located near to Bilston and was certainly in production in 1815 when it was associated (possibly owned by) Mr. George Rushbury. This mine issued £1 and 10/- promissory notes. George Rushbury, who I believe was a local banker in Bilston at that time, also issued commercial penny tokens in his own name.
