A couple of queries re the above which perhaps someone can answer;
Firstly what was the "Leviathon Lead Company" which in 1843 was said to
have mines adjoining those of the White Grit Co. It seemed to have been a
sudonim for an established company. At that time the other main companies in
the area would have been Bog and Snailbeach.
Secondly the 18th water pressure engine at Fairchance Mine in Cardiganshire
was said to have been modelled on one on one of the Shropshire lead mines -
but which mine?
