		Millstone grit has been quarried out of Mow Cop for many years, it was first used to make querns (hand mills), evidence of these locally manufactured querns was discovered during the 1930’s, when Joe Lovatt’s quarry men were clearing away old piles of rubble.
		Perhaps the greatest of the Millstone makers was William Jamieson (1825-1884); his stones were some of the most renowned that had been chiseled from Mow Cop stone.
		Two millstones each weighing approximately 25cwt (1300kg) were attached to the end of a timber spar, this was then hauled away by mules to a finishing block.

		The caustic comment of one libelous incomer that it took two beasts from a Millstone Grit farm to cast a shadow can, of course, be repudiated with vigour.
		The whole district, both Millstone Grits and Coal Measures, owes its scenery to the modification of alternating layers of hard sandstone rock and softer shale by the intersection of the valleys.

		This distinctive area is underlain by the mudstones, shales, flagstones and sandstones of the Millstone Grit and lower Coal Measures, deposited by a major delta complex during the late Carboniferous.
		The fossil content of the sedimentary rocks includes brachiopods, crinoids and trilobites in the Carboniferous limestones, goniatites in the marine shales of the Millstone Grit, and plant macrofossils in the Coal Measures, all of which are of value in reconstructing past depositional environments.

		This rock sometimes passes into millstone grit and conglomerate, and, like the limestone, is not unfrequently traversed from top to bottom by tortuous veins of quartz.
		The Millstone Grit generally occurs in thin layers, situated usually near the base of the sandstone, into which it passes by almost insensible gradations.

		The Millstone Grit underlies the Upper Coal Measures and crops out elsewhere in the Blackburn region.
		In the Pennine region the Coal Measures rest conformably on Millstone Grit, which their lower beds closely resemble.
		But the bulk of the Coal Measures are of somewhat different character from the Millstone Grit: rhythmic deposition is still apparent, but sandstones are thinner and finer grained; marine bands are uncommon, non-marine shell-beds very common; plant-debris is ubiquitous and seams of coal are thicker and more abundant.

		Around Bowling Green the millstone grit is largely composed of arenaceous shales, with here and there a layer of very good building stone, specimens of which may be seen in the jail, which is built of sandstone, quarried a short distance south of the town.
		From Bowling Green the millstone grit passes southward in the direction to Hausertown, in Owen county, and strikes White river at Point Commerce, in Greene county.
		In justification of this correction, it may be well to state, that the millstone grit is found a few miles to the northeast and south of Lodi, and is universally along the margin of the basin, overlaid by coal seams, with no great space intervening, and very often coal is found below it.

	Huddersfield Soils, The Constituents of Soil
		The sandstone soils of both Millstone Grits and Coal Measures are generally similar in composition, having considerably more of the large particles, coarse sand and fine sand, than of the finer silt and clay.
		They tend to produce a mat of turf if left as grassland, and are nearly always subject to summer drought, owing to their superlative drainage combined with the lack of water-holding power of the coarser particles.
		Shale soils have a preponderance of the finer particles which is slightly greater in the Coal Measures than in the Millstone Grits.

		Unfortunately these grits have a low porosity and unless the beds are faulted or freely jointed and the joints of useful size and continuity, the yield is low and uncertain.
		Some of the grits examined by Professor P.F. Kendall have a porosity of only two or three per cent., “no more than sufficient to wet the surfaces of the particles,” this low porosity militates against their usefulness as sources of supply.
		The marine bands are remarkable persistent, and the fossil goniatites in them show several mutations in ascending the series and as one form usually predominates in a band, goniatites are of the greatest interest and importance, both in themselves and as aids to stratigraphy.
