Richardson H to K

This list of mines in Richardson’s book includes the best preserved Dartmoor mine site. Kelly Mine is a hidden gem of industrial archaeology, a preserved shiny ore dressing floor where on open days machinery can be seen operating.

“I have written the notes which follow for those, both visitors and residents, who have some awareness of our West Country mining heritage and would perhaps like to know a little more of the history and significance of the various mining relics they may see; in addition I hope to provide something to interest the more specialist reader”

Richardson’s Dartmoor Mines – E to G

Navsbooks>Industrial Dartmoor>Richardson> E to G

Amongst the mines in this post is Great Rock, the mine that where my  Grandfather worked all his working life. More on that mine in a later post. 

The Ordnance Survey have changed their online map site, a change that currently removes the ability to display linked pins. This is frustrating, and I apologise that the links given on previous posts are not as useful as they could be. So for the time being these index page will only give links to The National Library of Scotland excellent side by side maps.

The book covers an area approximately bounded by Okehampton, Chudleigh, Ivybridge  and Callington. It includes the mines in the area worked from 1914.

These posts includes the mines in the book  not located with the Tamar Valley, and in doing so casts the net a bit wider in some places then the previous publications.
