Can anyone provide any information about a mine (or mines) at an area now
known as Bradford Pool in Devon.
The pool bit refers I think to what was mine workings now flooded. I get the
impression from one of the local inhabitants that there might originally
have been surface works only (something akin to a tin quarry?) followed
later by the sinking of a shaft or shafts and the driving of an adit.
The 'pool' is centered on SX 70000 91000.
There are a couple of small disused 'quarries' marked nearby on the OS map
but nothing much else to indicate mining activity.
I don't have an 'old' map to see what the area looked like in the 'old days'
but no doubt some one on the list will - perhaps you could have a look and
tell me what you see.
Regards
Lee
