Mountains And Orefields Metal Mining Landscapes In Mid And North-east Wales

The extraction of natural resources has had a profound effect on the Welsh landscape, and the exploitation of metal ores has been a feature of rural upland landscapes since the Bronze Age. This report breaks new ground by providing a synthesis of information on a range of non-ferrous metal mining sites, and a broad chronological framework from Roman to Victorian times-focusing in most detail on the period of rapid expansion in workings during the 18th and 19th centuries.Jones, Nigel is the author of 'Mountains And Orefields Metal Mining Landscapes In Mid And North-east Wales', published 2005 under ISBN 9781902771472 and ISBN 1902771478.
