I've been researching the history of this coalfield over the past couple of
years, but have been unable to track down the records of some of the mine
owners. Those I am interested in are:-
Handel Cossham (Deep Pit , Speedwell and Parkfield collieries)
Leonard Boult & Co (Easton, Whitehall & Pennywell Road collieries)
The Bennett family (Dean Lane colliery)
The Beauchamp family (numerous pits in Somerset, mostly in the Radstock
area)
I have also been unable to find the records of the Bristol Miners'
Association.
I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me the location of any of these
records (other than the few that are at the Bristol and Somerset Record
Offices)
