Report – Thomas Dodd – 18 Jan 1812

Joseph Wanless & Co are driving a new Horse level on the west side of Tyne to cut two veins and several flats in fresh ground in the limestone. which trial covers and supports two leases, and must go on, but is the best object in the Tynebottom leases, and will I expect raise some very good ore before the end of the year, and although many parts of the company’s mines raise ore of a very productive quality, yet there is none equal to Tynebottom on the West of Tyne.
