Hi everybody,
Does anyone know anything about a collection of drawings made at the end of the C19 of
winding and pumping engines of the Staffordshire coalfield,
The late Douglas Hague told me just before he died they were made as an official record
of what existed before the work started on the widespread mines drainage scheme of the
area. They were then in private hands; I infer somewhere in Wales.
I have made a query to the Wolverhampton RO which holds the records of the
SouthStaffordshire Mines Derainage Commissioners.
I shall be grateful for any information
Thanks
