If you have (or come across) any specimens labelled Bailiway (Balliway) Rigg or Higher Roughton Gill, then these are all actually Thief Gills. There seemed to be a fad for labelling the former names in the 80s and 90s. Higher Roughton Gill is not mentioned on any maps and Bailiway Rigg is the large hill on the left looking up the Gill. Thief Gills, or at least the lower portion is where all the mineralization occurs.
Sympathies to the need/desire to digitize slides. I have more than 14,000 slides - most of which, even my best friends won't care about. A decent handful find their way into my substacks though! Good luck!

That's very useful to know. Thanks Richard!
Sorry, Bailiway Rigg is the large hill on the right, on the left is Iron Crags
Hope you left no stone unturned !
Maybe just the third from the left! 😆

Oof! That's a lot! I probably have a few hundred. I will be focussing on localities and family stuff.
