Mining and Quarrying
Mining was once a very important industry to the people in and around Tamworth and many of them must have been employed by the industry in one way or another.There were local pits at
- Alvecote
- Amington
- Baddesley
- Baxterly
- Birch Coppice
- Dordon
- Dosthill-Quarry
- Glascote
- Kettlebrook
- Pooley Hall
- Wilnecote
The extensive canal network in the area would have played a significant role in the distribution and transport of the production from the many pits.
