So an old company then Pete.Thanks for that,it was an interesting read.I thought fluorspar was only quarried/mined at Stoney M and Eyam. I remember Hughes Brothers/Derbyshire Granite,Hinchcliffes,Ben Bennett,Ballidon and Longcliffe in those days,so Derbyshire Stone I will have seen.
I carted a lot of spar from Slinter Minings Tearsall quarry between Bonsall and Winster to Cavendish Mill Chris, I think they still supply it nowadays as the quarry is on the opposite hillside to me and I can see trucks moving about? Bank quarry in Matlock is mentioned in that article, I live just under the quarry face of that!

Not my pics but sent to me via Facebook. An Ex Ballidon Quarry AEC Mandator now residing in Rush Green, driven from new by Vernon Wibberley who turned 90 years of age recently. Strangely nobody can remember it ever being painted in Tilconâs livery but it obviously was!
