Is this the latest urban myth? -----Original Message----- From: mining-history [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Sallie Bassham Sent: 17 April 2001 02:36 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Disused mines in Lancashire Perhaps someone knowledgeable about Lancashire could help with a rumour about Foot-and-Mouth which is circulating. It is alleged that, a couple of weeks before any public announcement of Foot- and-Mouth, queries were being made about plastic lining of old mines in Lancashire for disposal of animal carcases. Anyone else heard about this? Sallie Bassham
