Thanks for the offer. I'll wait and see what information I get from the Institute of Quarrying, but if they can't help I'll try and arrange a time with you. It would be good to have a second pair of hands, even if it's just to make sure I don't fall down a mine unnoticed.
Also found yet another English razor hone, this one was quarried in the town of Bilston in Staffordshire; and I quote, "Plot also mentions that the grindstones dug at Bilston are much finer than those obtained in Derbyshire ; they are used in sharpening thin-edged tools, as knives, razors, &c."
Regards,
Alex
