Can anyone give locations for any of the following mines, listed in the Mineral
Statistics etc.?
Middle Fell Mine (1880s-90s)(barytes/iron ore) at first site the mine in Warcop
with details given by Dunham & with an entry on Aditnow. However the 1883
edition of Westgarth Forster list in the Four Fathom Limestone which would be
wrong for this site & Mineral Statistics entries also refer to Middle Fell and
Stainmore, and to a location at Barras. There was a colliery at the latter site
(also referred to as Middle Fell) but was there any other mining there?
Bugle Hill, Kirkby Stephen (London Lead Co 1870's)
Bayle Hill, Kirkby Stephen (Pease 1866-1871)
I can't find these names on the OS, perhaps misspellings - Bells is a possibility.
Mallerstang Mine (London Lead Co).
Alasdair Neill.
