Shotholes containing lime in a Mendip lead mine

1983

Authors: Stanton, W.I.

Ref: UBSS Proceedings, 16(3), pp 185-189

Shotholes in an 18th century lead mine were tamped with a mixture of lime and grit, possibly to keep the gunpowder charge dry by absorbing moisture. Lime-blasting was not used at this site.
