Dear List Members, Is it just me and my sadly increasing age, or do others notice the crass ID errors that are creeping into mining opers./matters showing themselves on some mining websites on mining subjects between the 1970's and 1990's - all areas - but partic. metalliferous/non metalliferous. Such errors are NOT helpful to history, and this either shows lack of research or, worse, lack of bother of same before such is put into the public domain. I can only state Weardale as a prime example, where, between 1974 to 1990 I have complete knowledge. However, I have seen recently such things on websites that are completely inaccurate. I despair at what mining history will be in future times with the on going inaccuracies due to lack of proper research. Would those responsible for current websites (& I will refrain from mentioning), please ensure that accurate ID is ensured please. It spoils otherwise very good fieldwork. Regards, Bernard
