I am trying to find information about work patterns in Cornish Tin
mines, in the 1920's & 30's. Clearly the depression in tin prices
had caused a slump in tin production, but for those mines still in
operation there are a number of questions:
1) How many days per week were worked underground by miners and/or the
mine?
2) Assuming that there was more than a token workforce, what shift
patterns were used?
3) What were the holiday entitlements, if any?
