TitleThe Parsonage Chert Quarry, Bakewell: Bamford v Allsop Draft case for the opinion of counsel. reciting that in March 1895 John Bamford purchased part of the Parsonage Field, Bakewell and discovered therein a bed of chert which he permitted to be worked (without the formality of a lease) by Robert William Allsop who had earlier opened a chert quarry on land belonging to one Kitson. Allsop worked the quarry on Bamford's land until about January 1900 in a continuous and satisfactory manner, but then reduced the scale of his activities, having opened a chert quarry on his own land. In June 1900 Allsop ceased working the quarry on Bamford's land and refuse to vacate the premises, claiming some sort of tenancy. Allsop also had a quarry at Deepdale, and wished to prevent a competitor taking over the Parsonage Quarry. Counsel to advise on legal proceedings best calculated to serve Bamford's interests. Interleaved is a copy of a letter from Messrs Taylors of Bakewell, solicitors, to R. W. Allsop, dated 14 December 1900, suggesting terms of a possible lease, or if Allsop abandoned his claims, a twelve month delay before selling any chert got from the Parsonage Quarry by Bamford.
