________________________________________

Many of the mines listed above from John Fareys Book (General View of the Agriculture and minerals of Derbyshire. 1811-1817).

Had several shafts during their operating years, this was because it was cheaper to sink new shafts than to keep the underground roadways in good repair.

________________________________________

Crowstone was considered an important mineral. It was found in large quantities and used to surface roads and in the making of crucibles.

________________________________________

Brasses, Iron Pyrites or fools gold.

________________________________________

Fireclay, was used to produce heat resistant linings in furnaces either as clay or brick.

________________________________________

Smithy coal, presumably a coal which when burnt was ideal for producing high temperatures with low ash content which did not cake when burnt and little smoke, used for working iron in a smithy.
