Dear All,
May I draw your attention to one of the best books I have read lately on a
British mining subject: this being The Nent Force Level and Brewery Shaft, by
Peter Wilkinson. I do not wish to detract from Ian Tylers' excellent pbls. of
course.
I purchased same from the Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum the other day,
and I have to say, that once picked up you simply cannot put it down! It is a
pbl. that must be owned, since it is the most accurate and the most complete
pbl. on a specific subject that I have seen so far. It is very clearly most
throughly researched, and very highly accurate for any purpose. A TRUE GEM.
I am sure the Threlkeld Museum would be pleased to supply copies on request
at their normal fair prices - as all other current British mining pbls..
Regards, Bernard.
