You might be interested to know that Jim's Sough Book has now expanded
to 3 volumes. "Volume 1 - Lead Mining in Derbyshire: History,
Development and Drainage - Castleton to the River Wye" appeared last
October, published by Landmark. Volume 2 should be arriving any time
(I've prepaid for mine) and presumably Volume 3 will be next year.
