Abandoned products
The quarry at Bolehill for many produced produced mill and grindstones that were of such quality that they were exported across Britain and also to the continent. In 1902 the quarry was acquired to produce stone for the Derwent Dams construction and was subsequently much altered as 1.25 million tons of stone were sent away in around 10 years. Just when the millstone trade died is open to debate. Judging by the number of finished stones stacked ready for despatch it must have been a sudden event. This is in addition to the many failed products that litter the tips. This selection that will never be delivered is at the side of the access track to the quarry from above. Most of these seem to be edge runners for crushing rather than the traditional horizontal stones for grinding grain.
