THE MINES OF CORNWALL AND DEVON - Statistics and Observations by Thomas Spargo

Description

This book published in 1865 is a must for anyone who has an interest in the counties of Cornwall and Devon. It goes into great detail regarding the history and statistics of hundreds of mines, from the name of the manager, landowner, depth of the adit, when first opened and many other pieces of useful information.
Although the title page states that there are Maps, Plans and Sections, these were either removed before digitization or never included in the book. However, despite this it still remains one of the most complete listings of mines and of great use to scholars of this subject, or for anyone looking to add detail to their family history.
