Navsbooks>Industrial Dartmoor>Helen Harris
That’s the last of the mines listed by Helen Harris in her Dartmoor book, and so it’s time to bring it all together in an index page.
The Map
The mines found in The Industrial Archaeology of Dartmoor have brought many mines onto the bibliography map. Helen Harris’s use of parishes as her means of defining the Dartmoor boundary means that some of these are further out from the granite then the other publications.
Blue icons mark the mines named in her book. To easily see all these icons on the map, deselect all the publications apart from “Industrial History of Dartmoor” in the item menu.

The Book
The Industrial Archaeology of Dartmoor was first published in 1968 by David and Charles, but the edition that these posts are based on came out in 1973.
Helen Harris’s book was an important advance in the subject of industrial archaeology. Its format, content and accessible style brought the amazing richness of Dartmoor’s industrial history to a wide audience.

The Posts
The majority of these grid references are extracted from the gazetteer section of the book, a section divided into parishes. Within these posts I have added the parish names to each mine listing. Clicking on the grid references will show the mine’s location on the Ordnance Survey on-line map, and clicking on “NLS” will take you to the National Library of Scotland historic 6″ map of the mine’s location.
Crossings A Hundred Years on Dartmoor is now available on kindle.
William Crossing’s classic book on 19th Century Dartmoor has been republished in the Kindle format with additional material.
