I've managed to track down a copy of the Severn Valley Journal that
contained the Tormarton Stonemine article.

The reference is in Severn Valley CC Journal (they also produced a
newsletter), Vol 1 (2) for 1964-5, pp10-13. It is written by P. Allen
according to the contents page; there is no author credit on the article
pages. P13 is a sketch map of the areas showing where the mines are


The article refers to a trrip early in 1964 by the author and Brian Roach
along with
Tony & Anne Oldham. I don't know if Tony remembers it (it was along time
ago)

The references at the end include two newsletter articles.  I don't know yet
whether the newsletters are still accessible somewhere but I will try to
locate them (I expect they are just the trip reports for the visits and do
not contain any more information than the journal article - but it would be
good to find them)

 Can anyone help this chap with his request? I assume he wants to
know where he can find the journal. He got the reference from the
stone quarrying bibliography.
