Mr. Stobbs attention was recently drawn to the debris lying on the spoil heap from a sinking at the Nettlebank Colliery, Smallthorne. --- That the fauna has proved so rich is due to a stoppage of the sinking operations for several months, so that an opportunity was afforded of a more thorough working out of the fauna than was possible than at Longton.

"The very valuable mines of coal with which this estate, ( Newfield ), is enriched, were increased in value during the minority of its present possessor, ( Smith Child ), by a sewer from the low level of the canal being run up under them to drain them most effectively. In fact the whole of this property was greatly improved by the very judicious management of J. H. Clive Esquire. ( 1781 1853 ).
