>The first two volumes are from the Northern Mines Research Society and are
free to members. It is well worth joining this society just for its
publications, apart from two volumes a year you also receive a regular
newsletter and opportunities for field meets etc. I have membership details.
If you don't want to join though I can be persuaded to provide my services.
