Dear all
Can anyone tell me where to get information on the history of
Cononley Lead Mine, Yorkshire. I would like to know dates of
operation and production volumes. If possible, also the location of
any spoil heaps and milling processes.
I am planning my MSc geography thesis on the contamination of
floodplain alluvium by heavy metals at Cononley. Two aspects of
my
research will involve the use of heavy metals as stratigraphic
markers
to identify and correlate floodplain terraces, and also to look at the
contribution of reworked contaminants from floodplains to pollution
of
the River Aire.
Thanks for any help
