Dulcote website

Though I haven't yet found any ancestors from Dulcote, I was really impressed by this website, Historical Sketches of Dulcote.

Of particular interest to me was the page on quarrying, as I believe my grandfather worked at Dulcote quarry, though it may possibly have been one of the other quarries nearer Croscombe. I was also fascinated to learn that there were once paper mills at Dulcote.

And if you wondered how people got around in 1910, check the picture of the stage coach.
