Description: | This area has been used as a source of flint since the Neolithic. Flint may be shaped and sharpened by 'knapping' to be used as a blade. It also produces sparks when struck and so is useful in gun manufacture. This sign shows a local gunflint knapper at work. | Subjects: | Road Sign Crafts Human Figure Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Cole, S W | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
