The book is a collection of essays from several authors and brings
together lots of new information and previously unknown photographs hence
the need for editors.. This year 2019 is also the 100 year anniversary of
the Man Engine Disaster and the accident report by H,A, Abbott, Inspector
of Mines has a dedicated chapter. and in itself is a fascinating and
informative read. .
The book however doesn't dwell on the accident and delves into the early
development of the mine and some of the entrepreneurs involved . It looks
at some of the early machinery too. Never recorded before are the last 10
working years of the mine. It also records the restoration of the whim and
Engines at Levant.
The book is a very informative and interesting read and adds new details
about the mine which haven't been addressed before
