Tin Mining in Cornwall 1900 to 1950, Decline, Fall and Resurrection<\/h4>\r\nThis book is written by Roger Burt with Michael C. Gill and Norikazu Kudo. It is available from Tormark, prices \u00a335 for the hardback and \u00a325 for the softback. This book provides a welcome history of Cornish mining for the first half of the 20th century. Concentrating on East Pool, Geevor and South Crofty he analyses the successes and failures of the industry. The book also gives portraits of several key individuals as well as interesting perspectives on the problems facing any revival of Cornish mining now or in the future. This is an important original work from an author who has made an extensive study of metal mining with particular reference to Cornwall, and a major addition to the story of Cornish tin.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n

Forthcoming book:\u00a0Charlestown Engineering 1828-2002<\/h4>\r\nThis book is written by Jeremy Jackson and will be available in the near future – we will pass on details when we have them. The book shows the history of the site from its beginnings as the Charlestown Iron Foundry and Iron Works Company up to its closure and subsequent conversion into a housing estate.\r\n

Mount Wellington<\/h4>\r\nRichard Shaw has written a review of the Mount Wellington book for the Peak District Mining History Society. He describes the account as “fascinating”, more so because of the author’s close connection with the project from start to end. The photos in the book brought back many memories of a visit to the mine in the late 1970s.\r\n\r\nJohn Hurr’s book on the reopening of Mount Wellington Mine is very readable and continues to receive very positive reviews. Grab one while there are still some left! Great value at \u00a315, if you have any problems trying to get a copy please contact Kingsley on 01209 71681<\/a>1.\r\n\r\nReaders said:\r\n\u201cA superb book . . . a must read for anyone interested in recent Cornish mining history.\u201d\r\n\u201cA fascinating first hand account.\u201d\r\n\u201cThe story told from the inside . . . a pretty hairy tale.\u201d<\/em>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
