No 94 Coal A Chronology For Britain - Alan Hill, SB , A5, 272pp £12.00 +
P&P
This monograph contains a short introduction explaining the properties and
classification of coal, together with a description of the weights and
measures used in the past; sections on the geology and coalfields of
England, Scotland and Wales follow.
The main part of the work is a 188 page history of coal in Britain from the
Roman occupation to the present day documenting the principal technological
and political milestones associated with coal mining.
The monograph includes many tables and 70 illustrations together with
comprehensive production data and an index. Although intended as a work of
reference, this should provide an interesting read for those interested in
all aspects of mining.
