For much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it was the most productive copper and tin mining region in the world, but nowadays it is difficult to appreciate the full scale of this industry. There were over 2,000 mines active in Cornwall and West Devon at various periods during the nineteenth century and during its heyday the industry employed over 40,000 people. Since the closure of the mines, the landscape of the region has been transformed by agricultural cultivation and housing and infrastructure development. It is easy to overlook the impact left by the legacy of thousands of abandoned shafts, hundreds of miles of underground workings and acres of despoiled ground. Nowadays, in our drive for increased development in this region it is important to be aware of the significance of this once prolific industry. 09:55 – 10:10 A Virtual Tour Beneath our Feet by Dr Keith Russ Over the past 25 years Keith has single-handedly digitised a vast collection of mine plans and records showing the layout of mine workings across the main mining districts in Cornwall and West Devon. He has created a 3- dimensional virtual underground fly-through which offers an interesting and unique perspective of the ground beneath many modern urbanised areas. A short video will show in amazing clarity, the extent of deep workings and shafts modelled to date in the Camborne/Redruth Mining District and the complexity and density of the various mines. It also contextualises the degree of mining at shallow levels, which was not usually surveyed and which presents the main problem at surface today. The models are based upon plans held either in private archives or in the County Records Office at Truro. 10:10 – 10:40 Mining Subsidence Appraisal: Searching for the Future by Dan Berriman Mining Subsidence Appraisal in the South West has become a well-established process over the last 25 years. Mining Searches and follow-up Mining Investigations are now standard services that are provided by several recognised locally-based experts. Cornwall leads the way in Mining Subsidence Appraisal with more mining searches completed for conveyance and development than anywhere else in the UK. However, this is changing. This very localised industry is undergoing more substantial development than ever before. Dan will demonstrate the advances that local mining search specialists are making to this process and discuss the improved outward facing elements of the industry that benefit clients. He will also outline the wider reaching changes that are on the horizon. 10:40 – 11:00 Ground Instability: Engineered Solutions to Stabilise and Secure Old Mine Workings by Chris Massie Risk assessments and cost-benefit analyses during design, and value engineering during construction, are beginning to play a role in determining the extent and type of remediation that is possible. As the complexities of specific project sites increase, it is natural to expect the complexities of investigations to increase, however the simple solutions are still the best. Stabilisation or securing of old mine workings in the South West has become an issue in recent decades due to deterioration of old mine workings, end-of-life of earlier securing works and the pressure on available land for construction of new developments. This presentation reviews some of the traditional options 3 available and the application of relatively new engineering techniques in the stabilisation and securing of the mining legacy. 11:25 – 11:45 Camborne-Pool-Redruth Link Road: A Case Study of Mining, Geotechnical and Contaminated Land Issues by Emma Blakesley The CPR link road has been a project over 10 years in the design and construction. The project has involved the input of CORMAC’s Engineering Services Limited (ESL) from an early assessment of the extensive risk from historic mining activity, initial desk studies, geotechnical, mining and contaminated land investigations that evolved with the various designs through to the remediation of mining features, geotechnical stabilisation of a tailings dam and geotechnical advice and investigation for the structures and earthworks along the 2.4 km length of this predominately new road. This presentation will focus on the investigation methods involved, the extent of the mining remediation works and the importance that good communication and local knowledge had in the design and construction process. 11:45 – 12:05 The Mundic Problem: Principles and New Practices by Rachel Garside and Dan Berriman The discovery of mundic degradation can be a significant stumbling block in the conveyance process and can even prevent a mortgage approval all together. We will provide an overview of the problem, a detailed look at the analytical process and discuss the recent changes to the RICS Guidance Notes and the implications for home owners. The presentation will illustrate what is being looked for at each stage of the Mundic Test in order to evaluate whether a specific property is considered vulnerable to concrete decay and detail the multiple routes a property can take in order to be considered mortgageable. 12:05 – 12:25 Minerals and Planning by Chris Tofts This presentation looks at the tools used to protect minerals development and how these can alert property purchasers of potentially incompatible development. 12:25 – 12:45 Dealing with Land Contamination in Cornwall: The Local Authority Perspective by James Langley and Miles Randall Land contamination, if not dealt with adequately, can pose a serious threat to the health of the environment and the people who inhabit it. The presentation describes how Cornwall Council identifies and deals with contaminated land in the region, the most common form of which is a result of the former mining industry. The presentation will consider the legislative options available to deal with land contamination and will discuss the key principles of the management of land contamination and its relationship to brownfield development in Cornwall. 4 Speakers Tony Bennett BSc CEng MIMMM ACSM Cornish Chamber of Mines & Minerals Tony is a Chartered Mining Engineer who, since graduating from Camborne School of Mines in 1980, has spent his professional career based in Cornwall.

    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.

The site lies within Area 3 of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site but not close to any other designated heritage assets. The key issue in terms of historic environment planning policies is therefore identified as the effects of the proposed development on the significance (Outstanding Universal Value in UNESCO parlance) of the World Heritage Site – lying in the degree to which it helps to illustrate the distinctive mining landscapes of the period 1700-1914. The site lay historically within a common grazing area known as Perran Downs. A record on the Tithe Award suggests ‘burrows destroyed by mining’ lay to the immediate east of the site.

  • YEAR BOOK 1965/6 Originally Published by the Shropshire Mining Club, 1967
    YEAR BOOK 1965/6 Originally published by the Shropshire Mining Club, 1967 Digitised and reproduced by the Shropshire Caving & Mining Club, 2010 as part of a long term project to make the Club’s early archives and publications more accessible. While an attempt has been made to reproduce the “look” and layout of the original publication, this is not intended as a facsimile, so some corrections to typing errors, and alterations to pagination and layout have been made. Editor, 2010 Edition: Kelvin Lake © Copyright Shropshire Caving & Mining Club 2010 T H E S H R O P S H I R E M I N I N G C L U B Y E A R B O O K 1 9 6 5 – 1 9 6 6 INTRODUCTION This is our fifth Year Book, and in it the reader will note that in this year the Club began a concentrated attack on the caving prospects of the Bragyll Gorge, west of Denbigh, following the discovery of Jock’s Pot at the end of the previous Club year. Despite constant digging and almost continuous activity in this region for the greater part of the year the results were somewhat disappointing. There was also however continuing activity in other parts of N.Wales particularly in the Minera area, although access difficulties severely limited visits to Ogof Dydd Byraf. A study of local canal tunnels proved quite interesting and different from the normal run of caving trips, as also was an investigation into some so called “secret” passages under a Denbighshire gentleman’s residence.

  • 1Catalogue of the R. J. King Mineral Collect Ion
    L,. r 1Catalogue of the R. J. King Mineral Collect ion CASSITERITE SPECIMENS by R.J. King A CATALOGUE OF THE R.J. KING MINERAL COLLECTION Part I - CASSlTERlTE SPECIMENS by Robert J. King The catalogue is organised geographically commencing with British material and ranges across the world in the standard geographical format. The British material is grouped under two main headjngs: Cornubia; and the Rest of Britain. Cornubian specimens are grouped under the geographical headings (i-xii) used by Dines (1956). Localities falling outside those boundaries appear within the area geographically nearest to them. The mines andlor localities in every case are entered alphabetically. Nearby place names have been used as points of reference. Where possible, modern geographical nomenclature has been used. In some cases, however, where it has not been possible to locate small localities on modern maps, the 'given' nomenclature has been retained, and it should be borne in mind that these may contain errors resulting from the imperfect interpretation of handwriting on old labels. Each item in the catalogue bears the specimen's accession number within the King Collection; the date of collection from the field where known; a short description of the specimen's physical features where of value; and bibliographic data where of use and where available. Any controversy concerning the species identification or locality is entered. Much of the material listed is from the Harwood (Deganwy) Bequest. Each item from the latter bears the letter H. The sources of much of the Hatwood material are unknown but letters exist in the author's files indicating that Harwood acquired much, if not all, of the Saxon and the Bohemian material by exchange with the Narodni Museum of Natural History in Prague.
