Neat. We have some different ones up here like an asbestos mine, old copper mine talc mine and probably more that I don't know about. Of course we have lots of old granite quarries also.

Yup, my GGGG Grandfather moved to Weybridge from Mass around 1800 after spending time up there during the 1770's!
