To be perfectly honest, I've never looked for the List of Mines in the BL
catalogue - I've always assumed that it must be there because everything
published in the UK is (or should be). I've just had a look at the online
catalogue and I can't find it either, so I assume that you need to look in one
of the sections of the catalogue that requires a password.
The biggest single collection of the List of Mines that I've seen is in the
library at the London School of Economics (http://www.blpes.lse.ac.uk/),
although they only have 1915,1917-21,1923-45,1948 and 1950. It's a great pity
that it isn't more easily available as it may well be the only source of
information available for many mines (if anyone hasn't seen it, it was published
annually and for each mine gave details of owner, manager, number of workers,
minerals and seams worked, etc). I think we had a discussion about this on the
list some time ago and no one was able to say where a complete run might be
found.
