That comes out at 14,000 tons per annum almost exactly. (45 tons a day, six day week)
Quite high for a colliery in 1792? Three days production for Ellington at its peak, but back then I imagine quite a production figure, but of course it is just a hypothetical number for the lease, after which the tax per ton (ten!) increased.
