Dear All
I'm trying to fix some minor inconsistencies in my web version of
Jeremy Wilkinson's Gazetteer and Bibliography of the Mines and
Quarries of North Wales.
If anyone with ready access to any the following sources can respond
to any of the queries below I'd be most grateful. (Living a long way
from a good reference library does have its disadvantages.)
The Mining Journal 1851 p.511 - in what parish was TAMOW MINE,
CAERNARFONSHIRE and what was the product?
Home Office List of Mines 1912-1915 for Anglesey - in what parish was
ANGLESEY COAL? (presumed mine)
Home Office List of Quarries 1950 for Caernarfonshire - what was the
product at the following quarries?
FELIN LLECHEIDDIOR QUARRY DOLBENMAEN
GWYNDY LLECHEIDDIOR PIT LLANGELYNNIN
LLECHEIDDIOR UCHAF QUARRY LLANGELYNNIN
PENYBRYN HEAL PIT LLANLLYFNI
PLAS LLECHEIDDIOR QUARRY DOLBENMAEN
What was the product at DOLGELLAU MINERAL LEASES, DOLGELLAU
MERIONETHSHIRE (Jeremy has a couple of PRO references for this -
Annual Report of The Commissioners of Her Majesty's Woods Forests &
Land Revenues No 83 p.52 and PRO CREST15/92 p.68)
[Definitive grid references for any of the above mines and quarries
would be a bonus.]
Williams, C.J. 'Great Orme Mines' British Mining No.52 - what was
James Treweek's role in 1829? (Manager? Operator? Agent?)
If you can help please rely to me directly rather than via the list.
Any information I get will be incorporated in the Gazetteer and
uploaded to the web at http://www.hendrecoed.org.uk/Wilkinson/
Thanks
Dave
