Dear Mike,
You are correct, Cost Book Co.'s were not exclusive to Cornwall. There were a
few in Wales, and a few in the Alston & Weardale mining districts, Ecton Hill
I believe was under same once, & Greenside in the Lake District. Then you had
the Associations, which were on similar lines, but the for the exact
difference I would have to resort to my books.
I wrote an article for a Mag. a year or so ago (the one that is intended to
replace the defunct "Gems" mag..). This would give you detail of the first
Lim.Lia Co.'s and their date of foundation.
Hope this might be of some use to you.
Happy New Year to All on the Base, Regards, Bernard.
