I can't be more specific, but there's at least one, somewhere.
I did come across one a long time ago in a book with a title something like
"The Mines of North Wales" - sorry I can't be any more specific (it was
over 20 years gone, and I only came acrosss it in passing)
Hope this might eventually help,
Paul Ellison
