This is a request for any information list members may have which relate
specifically to Allihies Copper Mines (also known as the Berehaven Mines).
We are opening a museum here in Allihies and would be grateful for any
esoteric (or ordinary) information. We are in contact with the MHSI (Mining
Heritage Society of Ireland) who are restoring the engine tower here as a
separate project.
I would be particularly interested in pointers towards emigration
information between Cornwall-Allihies Allihies-Australia
Allihies-USA/Montana and links with Wales where much of the ore from here
was destined.
Please reply either to the list or to me
