Economic Value
The Portsmouth shales form the basis of the extensive paving brick industry in the vicinity of Portsmouth and Sciotoville. The quantity of suitable material in these beds is practically unlimited, as the shales have been attacked only at a few places along the outcrop. At present the mining is confined to blasting the shales from the sides of the hills, or to working the beds by short entries.
