Good find. An almost forgotten industry. Being built in late 1700's, would that make it Georgian or Victorian?

Georgian - George III, to be precise, who reigned from 1760 to 1820. There would be two more monarchs - George IV and William IV - before Victoria took the throne in 1837.

loveley example of early Victorian inventiveness

Very early Victorian inventiveness - it predates Victoria's reign by half a century! 😉

@Jnei i'm sure it said 1820's

@Jnei but i have been wrong before ce la vie

my area of interest is dark ages

@BillLittleford 1780s, I believe - though I may have missed it if it said it was rebuilt in the 1820s or something, as I pretty much scanned through most of the article due to my area being Neolithic Britain 🙂

@Jnei you are lucky though my town goes from saxon through to victorian and some hideous modern buildings

@Jnei we also have a plethora of iron age/bronze age sites in the area

@BillLittleford The oldest building here is 16th C., but there are older earthworks - including some barrows, which were already thousands of years old when the Romans had to put bends in their roads to go around them!

@Jnei the archeologists here have found the oldest wall surviving is 9th century but the rest of the town is mainly modern or tudor the iron age and bronze age is represented by a couple of 2 stone circles and several mounds

@BillLittleford I've been to Mitchell's Fold circle a couple of times.

@Jnei there is another one on forestrtry commision land not far away the is different to the mitchels fold one

@BillLittleford There are two others nearby, iirc - the Hoarstones, and what's left of the Whetstones (which were blown up in the 19th C. and used to build walls).

@Jnei so you know my area as well as me. I am not qualified as an archaeologist but i studied landscape archaeology

@Jnei i have also managed to reply on the wrong time line sorry
