A friend has just come across a note he wrote some years ago.
He was told that in 1954 Gilbert Talbot, Chief Road Surveyor for the council, found a Roman Lead
Mine half a mile long in Almondsbury. This was apparently recorded by Archaeologist Barbara Joseph
(now dead) in her diaries and later read by her daughter Priscilla (not sure if she is still alive).
This was recorded also in something like "Devon Transactions".
Anyone have any clues about this?
