Yes, please - I need to know just what there is surviving, if possible.
I have looked up each of these on the internet and seen what pictures there
are.
So-far the one most similar to the one here in Cornwall is the restored one
at Killhope lead mine in Weredale - does anyone know whether there are any
others surviving in that area ?
Thankyou
Caroline Vulliamy
