Thomas Stark J. Young Sketch of Rds [Roads] by Flint |
015 | [Situation] About 1 3/8 Mile E. by S. [East by South] from Muldron. This name applies to an extensive Lime Stone Qauarry on the farm of W. [West] Handaxwood. The stone is obtained partly by opencast or Quarrying from the surface; but wherever the ground is of a nature to admit of mining is resorted to the stone being obtained by this process with more expedition & economy. The shafts or Galleries are driven nearly horizontal and some of them penetrate about 300 yards. The Water runs off by a natural fall; and the stone is carried from the Quarry to the Kiln (about 1/2 a mile) by a Railway on an inclined plane These works are the largest and produce the best Lime of any works for many miles round. They are occupied by Robert Gray. |
