Dear List
I came across the folowing whilst searching through the Mining Journals and
was wondering if anyone can tell me what a Pug Mill is please.
"There was a counting-house, large and convenient sheds, stores, and
offices, and the equipment included a 14 in. steam-engine, boiler,
brushing, washing and pulverising mills, pug-mill and dressing equipment."
This came from the MJ dated 7th October 1871 under the heading "Turnchapel
Ochre & Stone Quarry Works" These works were situated near Plymouth.
Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you.
