Reading the first article in "Local History News" number 72, Autumn 2004, the author Alan Crosby
mentions that he was doing research on a mid-Victorian steam pumping engine.
Later in the article there is mention of "notices and reports of the winding up of the Great Engine
Mining Corporation".
I have done various Google searches and found some fascinating sites and information (as one does!),
but the only mention of the "Great Engine Mining Corporation" that I can find is in the very article
I was reading. This, much to my surprise, is also available on the web at
http://www.balh.co.uk/publications/lhn_story1.htm
Does anyone know anything about this Mining Corporation?
Cheers
Roger
