Journal entry – John Grey – 12 Nov 1833

Tuesday 12th November 1833



Engaged all day with Letters & accounts.  Agreed with Michael Lathaen, Mason in Horsley to allow him, subject to the approbation of the Board, to work Giles Crag Quarry in Whittle Dene for four months to come for the supply of the railway, on condition of his paying one penny for each blocked stone, to be paid monthly according to the account by which he is to be paid by the rail-way company.  He being bound to repair any damage or trespass, & to leave the road and quarry in such condition as I shall be satisfied with, also to leave with the refuse Stones for the use of the Hospital.  From the situation of the Quarry  in the brook in the low extremity of Whittle Dene Wood, no trespass attends the working of it.  The sale of the Stones will produce something & we shall have walling Stones left, to build a Stables at Whittle Mill ready for leading away.
