> 'Copper & Lead Mines around the Manifold Valley, N Staffordshire' by
myself
> & John Robey. It covers the whole of the N Staffs orefield, about 135,000
> words, £19.95 , due April
> 'Derbyshire Blue John' by TD Ford, just arrived 112pp £5.95
> 'Lathkilldale: its Lead Mines & Miners', reprint (updated ) from Jim
> Rieuwerts. June,
> 'Lead Mining in the Peak District' the PDMHS book, much revised and with
> colour, now April, £9.95, also now includes new areas. So much for the
> advert, now the info I have:
>
> I've come across a lot of MSS (chiefly letters) which I have used in the
N
> Staffs book. They include material concerning people investing elsewhere
> Viz: the Marsden family-
> Anthony, of Leek, Staffs, Johnathan of Silian, near Lampeter and John of
> Llanfairbryn.
> They had connections with Rhyscog Mine, Lampeter and also in the Royledge
> mine in N Staffs.under a lease of 1841.
> At Mixon Mine in 1839 , I have material on a John Attwood Beaver and JS
> Smith, both of Manchester. They had connections with mining in the Tavy
> area, ? North Tamar, I wonder. Its North Tamar or Tavy, unfortunately its
> the one word in the whole letter I cannot read properly. Also they were
> involved with the Ty Mawr Slate Quarry in N Wales. Probably the one near
> Nantlle although Jean Lindsey says this quarry was worked from about
1870.
> Has anyone else come across these two?
> Thomas Boothman, who had mining interests in the Peak eg Side Mine, and
in
> Ireland, was also investing in Royledge in the 1840s.
> The book also has detail on a geo-phys survey of the Ellastone Smelter
site
> near Ashbourne, which was shut by 1660. We have located the building, and
> what may well be the hearth and wheel area.
> I Hope this is of use to someone amongst you!
