"1 November, 1883 John took leese of the "White or Globe Quarry", also known as "rhe Glebe Quarry", at Ballyalton by Scrabo, re-opening early the next year. His son James almost died there in an accident a few years later. Not clear when John gave up the quarries, he is noted in 1888 as a quarry owner, and an 1896 ad for sale of the farm that included the Glebe quarry noted it had been mined until recently."
