It is generally stated that on the formation of the Weardale Lead Co. all the
Weardale holdings of the W.B. Co. were transferred to that company.
However the Mineral Statistics also refer to continued involvement of the
latter company in Co. Durham until 1890, under the title W.B. lead mines
Weardale (Durham Freehold), in addition to the WLC.
Can anyone suggest what mine(s) this might refer to?
