Hook Norton ironstone quarries (Baker) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hook Norton ironstone quarries (Baker) The Hook Norton ironstone quarries (Baker) were ironstone quarries at Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England, operating from the 1890s to the end of the First World War. Two sites were quarried and it was the only Hook Norton ironstone quarry business to be locally owned. == History == The quarry owner, Henry William Baker, came from Worcester and married Mary Ann Minchin the daughter of William Minchin of East End Farm. Henry Baker lived in East End Farmhouse and is described in directories and census returns as a farmer, therefore his ironstone quarries were presumably a sideline.〔Tonks, p.82.〕 It is believed that quarrying began in the 1890s ("about 1895" according to Paul Ingham) and "virtually certain" that the first quarry was Top Pit.〔Tonks, p.82.〕 Henry Baker died in 1915 but the demands of the First World War meant that production continued for a while although it had ceased by 1918.
