"The inhabitants are supported chiefly by the lead mines, lead works, lime works, limestone quarries, and in the manufacture of hosiery, here being about 100 frames. CRICH CLIFF mines, known by the names of Bacchus’ Pipe, Glory, Pearson’s Venture, and Wakebridge, with several others in the neighbourhood, have been the most productive of any in the county for the last 40 years. One-ninth of the produce is given to the lords of the manor; W. E. Nightingale, Esq. receives one-sixth of the ore raised at Wakebridge mine, as lessor, Messrs. Wass and Co. are the lessees; this mine is at present standing,..." (White (1857)).
