From: |  | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 17 Jan 2003 14:01:34 -0000524_iso-8859-1 For those who are familiar with it, the Newcomen type engine at Elsecar,
South Yorkshire has exactly that arrangement!
I suspect prior to the advent of the Cornish type engine, and its house, it
may have been a more common arrangement but I'll look through what I have at
home on the subject.
Meanwhile, whilst writing, can anyone point me in the direction of obtaining
a report that I think was once produced by CAU on the development of the
Cornish Engine House design please? [...]52_17Jan200314:01:[log in to unmask]

I assume you mean "Engine House Assessment, The Mineral Tramways Project." This was published in 1991 by Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Planning Dept., Cornwall County Council, Old County Hall, Station Road, Truro, Cornwall TR1 3EX.
ISBN 1 871162 56 4.
You might possibly obtain it through a good bookseller; if not, then try Mike Moore...(only joking, Mike, really!). [...]49_17Jan200315:08:[log in to unmask]

This may be a complete red herring but if my memory is correct I seem to
remember my wife's father talking about the Gaerwen Syndicate on Anglesey.
If I remember correctly it was only in business for a very short period of a
few years and was something to do with Parys Mountain, but exactly what I
cannot remember. [...]50_17Jan200320:25:[log in to unmask]

Don't know of any Forest of Dean connections BUT....
The 1881 census shows him to be living in Cannock Wood, Cannock,
Stafford, England and the spread of where his children were born is
interesting. He was obviously in Lydney for some time 1872/73-1876ish. [...]41_18Jan200309:34:[log in to unmask]

I thought the List might like to know the final outcome of the above - kindly
supplied by Rob Vernon. I would also like to thank Russell Wear and Trevor
Dunkerley for their help: all combined the problem was solved!
In the very near future a full inventory of my share cert. collection will be
completed, and, as promised to Peter Claughton a long while ago, this
inventory will be supplied to him for adding to the Mining Data Base for
reference purposes, and to enable certs. to be located for inclusion into
mining publications. A brief notice [...]33_18Jan200307:36:[log in to unmask]
