Hi All
List members might be interested in a recent publication put together by the
Elan Estate/Welsh Water titled Metal Mines of the Elan Estate.
This is a 16 page A5 booklet drawing heavily on information and ground
surveys completed by the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust in 1994/1997. It
gives a brief historical outline of each mine followed by a present day site
description, with sketch copies of CPAT surveys. There is a central location
map for all of the mines.
Visits to these mines are encouraged and access is available to all of them.
Cwm Elan is particularly well preserved and all are in very scenic
locations - why not visit over a long weekend ?
To get hold of copies contact the Elan Valley Visitor Centre on 01597
810898. Cost is £1.50. They will post booklets with added p&p
All the best
