This book has been produced from previously unseen documents belonging to
the Thornhilll Family a considerable number of Mining papers dating back to
the early 17th Century which enabled Jim to produce his volume Adventurers
in the Lead Trade, this lead to more recent 19th and 20th Century documents
about the Great Mill Close Mine. This publication details the History and
development of the mine and has allowed some updating to be incorporated,
the publication has been produced at the request of Mr Davie Thornhill.
The book is fully illustrated has colour mine plan sections and elevations,

excellent read and compliments the previous volume (Millclose the Mine
that Drowned) with lots of new information and a more modern format.
