I picked up on evilbay the other day a set of Lease documents from that Alnwick solicitors office for the quarry at Brainshaugh. This was working the Acklington dyke stone just as it crosses the Coquet. The same Dyke as the quarry at Acklington, which of course give the dyke its name. The Dyke itself can be traced to the Western Isles of Scotland, so no doubt there are a few more quarries in this structure!
Deeds are 1897.
Still a big, elongated hole on the site today!
