HISTORICAL NOTES Odd Down (Odda's Hill is the likely translation) is the crossroads of two of Britain's historical linear landmarks, the Wansdyke and the Roman Fosse Way. Haddon's Portrait of Bath also suggests a secondary Roman road from Frome and Poole intersected the Fosse Way here. However Odd Down is better known historically for being a quarrying area for oolitic limestone (which was used to build many of Bath's Georgian and Victorian buildings) as well as Fullers Earth (used in the wool/textile industry).
The Fullers Earth Union acquired rights to mine on Duchy land in Vernham Wood in 1915, with yellow earth workings adjacent to the line of the Wansdyke being open cast in the main (although an adit was sunk in 1916 within the wood). In Feb 1962, the Bath Chronicle reported the opening of a new mine at Vernham Wood, with an 85ft deep shaft sunk, but geological problems forced the closure of the mine a year later.
