In loving memory of John Lambert of Redmire who d. 17 Sep 1903 aged 68
yrs. Also of Mary wife of the above who d. 11 Jul 1919 aged 81 yrs.
At rest.
John and Thomas Lambert continued as Lead Miners to the "bitter end".
They worked a level known as Lambert Level.
George Harker (a railway engineer from Darlington) started Harkers Level
mid 19thC. It runs as a crosscut due north for 400 yards before it cut
the vein. The vein runs east to west. In the 1880's the Cradock
brothers took over the mine. One brother lived in Stockton the other
had an ironmongery in Leyburn. It was this time that John and Thomas
Lambert were at the mine. They were working in the east end of the
vein, then they drove a crosscut to try another vein further north.
This area was roughly under the road to Reeth, halfway between the
cattle grid and Apedale road end.
The mine surveyor or agent Simon Cherry from Fremington had noticed a
discontinuity in the strata just south of the allotment wall so about
1900 Lamberts level was started to test this area. The level was like
Harkers driven at a right angle to the side of the gill and cut a small
string after about 100 yards. To the best of knowledge, it was
unproductive and was abandoned about 1902.
John Lambert wrote to Simon Cherry,
Mr Cherry Redmire April 19th
Just a line to let you know how our place looks, the leede in the
Black is about 18 ins wide with ore, and vein looks very well in the
Black it hitches about 4 foot on the South and has got it's South side
down, it will be two or three days before we can sea into the grit.
Yours truly John Lambert
Thomas Lambert of Redmire to Simon Cherry. 1898
7th March 1898.
you will be aware that my father is working with me now. We are going
on with the forehead very well, we are driving in the Red beds, it is
very craggy at present, we have a firm side on the north side and
taking the room off the south side, we have not had it quick lately.
