Navsbooks>Industrial Dartmoor>Richardson

Now that the last of the Richardon Darmoor Mines have been listed it is time to bring them together with a list of posts.

The Book

Mines of Dartmoor and the Tamar Valley after 1913 was  written by  P.H. G. Richardson, and  published in 1992 by the North Mine Research Society.

This is a book of two parts; the first of descriptions, the second of lists.

The first part of the book contains history and descriptions of a selection of mines, descriptions that are accompanied by fascinating sketch maps of the sites. These are mines that Richardson has visited and his sketch maps are invaluable to interpret the site remains.

After these descriptions, Richardson lists a large number of other mines and sites that have been examined or trialled after 1913. These two lists are a valuable resource for anyone researching mining on Dartmoor.
