There is (or at least was five years ago, last time I was there) an almost
complete set of the List of Mines in Cardiff Central Library, going right
back to Robert Hunt's lists of the 1860s or thereabouts. There were a couple
of gaps, but nothing major. The title of the actual book changed a couple of
times, which makes it slightly more interesting to track them down.

Getting access to them was somewhat awkward though, as they were not listed
in the new public access Library catalogue when it was moved to the new
building around ten years ago! However, they are (or were) held in the
stacks (reserve collection, somewhere in the basement?) and can be retrieved
on request, though you may have to be persistent. From memory, they were
held in the "oversize series" section.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone manages to get access to them.
