John,
I'm afraid we're going over old ground here. The
potential and the means were identified by a
consortium of mining history interests, including
the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland, the two
Welsh mining groups and the National Library of
Wales, but finding the €300,000 to carry out the
project was not possible using European Union
sources. Perhaps the Heritage Lottery Fund might
be a partial source but we would need to find substantial sums elsewhere.
