In the first half of the 19th century a deposit of coprolite, thought to be fossilised droppings, started to be dug up in Felixstowe. These phosphate-rich fossils were converted into superphosphate - the world's first artificial chemical fertiliser. Over fifty years an unusual branch of agricultural mining spread over much of south-east Suffolk bringing social and economic changes for many.
