3 unusual facts about Hook Norton Ironstone Partnership


Hook Norton Ironstone Partnership

The Hook Norton Ironstone Partnership was the first company to quarry ironstone at Hook Norton on a large scale.

Although only in operation for twelve years, its quarries subsequently became part of the Brymbo Steelworks quarries and relics of the Partnership's railways and tramways can still be seen today.

Land on both sides of the railway at Hook Norton Station was purchased by the Oxfordshire Ironstone Company on an unknown date but "probably early in 1883".
