Coal hunting at Bexhill 1805-1811: How the New Science of Stratigraphy Was Ignored
This paper describes the lengthly attempts made to find coal at Bexhill, East Sussex, between 1805 and 1811 in hope of reviving the Wealden iron industry. The chief promoter of this Sussex Mining Company, William James (17711837), was convinced true coal was easily available in Sussex. The Londonbased mineral surveyor John Farey (1766-1826), on the other hand, from 1806 correctly urged that it was impossible to find true coal here, on the stratig…

The Iron Bridge at Trentham
The Iron Bridge across the River Severn near Coalbrookdale, opened in 1781, has always been well known. Until recently it was thought that the next iron bridge to be completed in the United Kingdom was that which opened in 1796 at Sunderland. This article uses documentary and field evidence to demonstrate the existence of another iron bridge, at Trentham, Staffordshire, which was cast in 1794 at Coalbrookdale.
