Durham Mining Museum has produced an online database of northern mine owners
which includes an entry for Sir Frank Beauchamp at
http://www.dmm.org.uk/whoswho/b014.htm
The database only covers the north of England, but he is listed as chairman
of East Bristol Collieries Ltd and I can't find any mention of a connection
with the north. Beauchamp's other main business was Somerset Collieries Ltd
and I've never been able to find any definite evidence that he had business
interests outside the south-west. I've approached the museum for further
details, but does anyone know anything about a possible northern connection?
