Dear Peter (& all),
I agree with you Peter in everything that you say, as likewise I understand
Marks' comments & situation. I wish to place two major concerns of 'mine'
into two particular places which are undeniably unique: firstly, Bryn-Dyfi;
this is one of the most complete mine sites that exists to-day of what is
left of Mid-Wales mining, and it is being currently left to rot by those who
should be protecting it, when, with at small cost, it could easily be
preserved for posterity - the farmer is easily approachable and I know would
look kindly with the right inital approach and with sensible & realistic
reimbursement, to a compasionate preservation of this unique site. Secondly,
Pen-y-Clun: when will something be done about the Engine House chimney there
by these benevolent bodies? Maybe after the chimney has fallen down? The
exercise will of course be less costly after that of course! I will
believe in the words when I see the right actions! (for the record, a saying:
BRM 25/10/99).
I lay before you all two examples of dire historical neglect - I know there
are other places, and I am sure that others will will enlighten us all - &
quite rightly so - I have just touched the surface.
Best Wishes, BERNARD R.MOORE
