In 1842 a new industry started on the Suffolk coast, digging up fossils for use as the raw material in manufacturing superphosphate, the world's first chemical fertiliser. By 1848 the diggings had started in the Cambridgeshire and by the 1850s they had spread to Ashwell. This book investigates the social, economic, environmental and archaeological impact of the fossil diggings around the parish.
