| This is a 60 cm high stone lying on
its back. The lettering is not that clear. According to Dr. Raistrick,
these stones are associated with Elizabeth Shackleton, who was investing
in small mining ventures in the 1770's. This probably marks the north-east
corner of the meer where it abuts onto the meers held by Brown & Co
to the north, and Tenant & Co, one of whose
stones
lies adjacent, to the east as shown on the 1781 Brailsford survey. There
are several of these ES stones differentiated by the number which,
apparently, goes up to 21. See also
Meer Stone 2,
Meer Stone 38 and
Meer Stone 49. |
