This book by Ioan Lord is a magnificent effort and real credit to his
research and photography, Hardback,A4 272 pages £45
Ioan, has completed the work with help from Professor David James and
Simon Timberlake in order to get the geology and historical data correct.
He has used the researches of Welsh Mines Society and Trust to help further
with accurate grid references, , photography and information . There are
some 40 mines described fully, many have colour underground and surface
colour photographs with black and white historical photographs to . Ioan
was not satisfied with just exploration of the mines but has used
historical data , facts and details of the workers , their families and
living conditions . He has gone on to interpret various sites with superb
surface drawings of the mines and buildings .. .
Although not a cheap purchase this is one very good book and I highly
recommend this one. I understand only 500 copies have been produced
