Dear fellow listees, The Minute Book of the Snailbeach Lead Mining Co says that the price of coal had increased so much at this time that it was impossible to make a profit on smelting. Does anyone know the reason or reasons why the price had risen significantly at that time? Strike action or something political? The SLMCo bought their coal from such as Wrexham & Acton pits and others in the area. Will be interested to have any information on this - Merry Xmas to all. Andy Cuckson
