Teesdale Bargains Ladyday 1816
Lodgesyke, Coldberry, Brockergill Wiregill & Flakebridge Mines are proceeding without any material change since Christmas report. The Level from which the Workings at Mannergill are prosecuting was given up several Years ago, but from the Report of my Uncle & several of the old Workmen of whom I made enquiries I was not satisfied with the manner in which it had been discontinued & therefore had it reopened during the last Year to extend the
Report – William Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 1 Apr 1816
<Our Mines> at Allenheads upon the whole are likely to be more productive of Ore the succeeding quarter than they have been last quarter from their present appearance altho' we have not one rich Working in all the Field.

Report of the Weardale Mines Midsummer 1816
Middlehope The prospects of this Mine are very favorable but the chief workings having been pushed forwards upwards of 20 fathoms before the drawing Level from an improper anxiety on the part of Mr Dodd to raise a great quantity of Ore they were all working to great disadvantage, & in consequence the Men have been taken out of them & employed in the old pickings untill the Level gets sufficiently forward to enable us to prosecute these lea

Thomas Hewerson &c are driving South in the Limestone in the Cross Vein that was so productive a Year ago, but which has lately become poor, in order to prove it further forward, as it is entirely whole to the end of the Boundary & is an object that cannot, with any propriety, be discontinued in the present stage of the trial, altho’ it is not requisite to hold the Lease.
