English Pencil Industry.
he London Chronicl,


The English lead pencil industry,
which is receiving Il notable impetus
through the war, dates back to the
early half of the eighteenth century
when plumba go-which hitherto had
served mainly for the manufacture of
shot and crucibes-was first used for
writing purposes. All the black lead
used in pencil making then came from
Seathwaite, which enjoys the double
distinction of being the rainiest vii.
lage in the British isles, and of being
the only place in the world where pure
plunbago may be found. This mine
yielded a huge fortune to the Bankes
'amily. who owned ii. the output in
1913 amounting to thirty-one tons of
pure plumbago, which realized flO5, 900.
Twenty years later, foreign graphite
began to take the place of plumbago
in pencil-making. and in 1850 the
Seathwaite mine was closed down.
