John Mason was asking for information about Turf Copper mine
in Coed Y Brenin, and Paul Ellison recalled a book on old mines
in North Wales.
If anyone should be able to help I guess it would be David Bick
who, as President of the Welsh Mines Society, has written a
welcome to delegates for the forthcoming NAMHO 2002 conference
to be held in July in Aberystwyth.
David wrote "The Old Copper Mines of Snowdonia", published in
1982.
Sadly, I cannot find Turf mine in the index, although places mentioned
range from Llandudno in the north down to Talybont near Aberystwyth,
and as far east as Halkyn. Might the mine have had another name?
