for trial at Witton Park Works. Previous to this the valley of the Esk, 
and, to a small extent, the coast, furnished the produce of the Lias beds.

field, while some of the ore itself is brought to mix with the Cleveland iron- 
stone. The following figures indicate the importance of the iron-trade of 
Ulverstone :—

dlesbro’, with other particulars of interest connected with its present condi- 
tion and future prospects :—
