By Simeon Shaw 1828From The History Of The Staffordshire Potteries
The following is a list of coal seams from Simeon Shaw's History of the Staffordshire Potteries. It shows how rich this area was in coal. When added togeather there is about 147 feet of workable coal. The spellings may look strange but they are consistant with the time. All the work in this section has been researched over many years by team member Geoff Mould.
