aircraft fitter/engineer was relocated to work in the De Havilland Aircraft Company in Lancashire. My family...losing interest in my current hobbies and looking to do something different with my spare time, I enquired...of Chipping Sadbury, calcite from Hampstead Farm Quarry and celestine from Yate Rocks. I also collected...north Devon, including several visits to High Down Quarry for wavellite and variscite, also into East Cornwall...Cornwall and several visits to Merehead Quarry, Somerset. Unfortunately, I did not keep a diary of all
