Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there are any contemporary images (engravings etc) of
the Turf Copper mine at work. I've never heard of any but would be keen to
know if there are.
The reason why is that I'm doing a geological trail in Coed Y Brenin with
Forest Enterprise and the Countryside Council for Wales, centered around
the porphyry-copper deposit and the fact that the forest lies within the
roots of an old volcano. Turf Copper is one of the sites included and an
interpretative board is intended for the site (on the forest road -
visitors will be kept off the ground itself). I've got Henwood's paper on
the place but to scan an old image and include it in the board would be
good. Any ideas gratefully received!
Cheers - John
