Colleagues in Norway are seeking information on the Norwegian Titanic Iron
(Ore) Co. This was a company based in Leeds, in the north of England, which
ran mines in Norway between 1864 and 1888. The major shareholders were
Jeremiah Bourne Faviell, Edw. Ackoyd and William Peel. Faviell also owned
the Neville Hill Colliery, near Leeds.
If members have any information on the iron mining company, Neville Hill
Colliery, any of the shareholders or details of any project by British
companies to exploit the Norwegian titanic iron ores, could they please post
it to the list, or me, for onward transmission to Norway.
Peter
