Report – John Mulcaster to Martin Morrison – 28 Oct 1809
J. Mulcaster’s Report of Smelt Mills, Refineries etc
Dukesfield Mill.

I am favoured with your Letter of the 26th inst covering one from Mr Matthews of Shields. It is true that the Duke of North’d has been applied for aid for purposes intended in commemoration of the jubilee , to which I understand his Grace has not yet replied. The town of Shields is certainly extending in opulence, the Freeholders are numerous and of considerable weight in the event of a contested Election.

Report – Thomas Dodd – 20 Jan 1810
Many parts of the mine are much poorer this quarter than at Michaelmas last, though a great number more hands are employed by reason of the mines in the surrounding country being so poor, of course the miners cannot get employment elsewhere. The distresses from the dearness of all sorts of provisions are very great and those who have large families are under the necessity of seeking parochial relief.
