Vis=10/7/1990 (griffith) the northern side of blackborough common bears extensive traces of whetstone mining, the remains of openworks and true mines. Whetstone mining here only ended in the 1920's (mr. Northam, bodmiscombe farm, pers comm). The ruinous nature of garnsey's tower (st10nw-27) is locally attributed to mining subsidence. The hillsides show traces of pits, adits and spoilheaps. Full extent not explored in quick visit. Continues as st00ne-48 (griffith).
