HISTORY: the first meeting of the Wolborough Iron Mining
Company is said to have taken place here about 1872. Augustus
Smith, a great benefactor, identified the brown rock of
Firestone Hill between Wolborough and Askerswell as haematite
or iron ore. The Wolborough Iron Mine subsequently produced
1,240 tons of haematite during the years 1872-73.
