1871 census shows 30 year old Walter Bright as a “Coprolite Foreman” living on the High Street. 25 year old Henry Bright was recorded as “Foreman of Coprolites”. As there were only four labourers, James Plick, 26, Ellis Hutch 49, George Merril, 38 and John Pearce, 25 they must have been responsible for workings in neighbouring parishes.
