  • Nobody Likes the Captain: Men of the Mines
    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Nobody Like the Captain: Men of the Mines” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.46-56. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 NOBODY LIKE THE CAPTAIN: MEN OF THE MINES Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The great vigour with which 19th century metal mining was pursued generated considerable interest in the agents of this industry, the mines captains. These men became popular and sometimes not so popular subjects for the journalise of Victorian writers. Their memoirs whilst wrapped up in the most fearful adjectives, do though give some insight to the nature of these mining entrepreneurs. In the years 1857-58, George Henwood who was closely involved with the Cornish mining industry penned a series of articles on notable miners for The Mining Journal, the accompanying notes on mines’ captains and those associated to the industry have been developed from this source. Henwood would seem to have been on good terms with many of the Cornish mining gentry and it was they who provided him with much of the grist of his tales. As Henwood was writing in the mid 19th century, the memories of old men allowed an oral history contact back to the latter part of the 18th century. Men profiled included William Burgess senior, a hotel keeper about Pool and Camborne, who as a young man had had a close association to local mining: “when the place echoed with water driven stamps; when the place swarmed with half-clad buddle boys; when there were no tramroads, few ore waggons, and when pairs of mules were as common as horses.” Henwood’s short biographical sketch of Robert Mitchell of Truro was also of interest for the same reason, as at the time of Henwood’s essay Mitchell was in his 87th year.

  • The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
    MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    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.

  • 7: Lead, Zinc and Silver
    7: Lead, Zinc and Silver Original text by Dave Williams. Additional material contributed by Peter Claughton, Mike Gill, Phil Newman, Geoff Warrington and Robert Waterhouse, and with comments by Jake Almond, John Barnatt, David Poyner, and Lynn Willies 7.1 Introduction This section deals with the elements lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and silver (Ag). In general, the ores of these metals are of hydrothermal origin and typically occupy vein structures or occur in stratiform bodies, though some minor occurrences are in the form of disseminations. The ores usually consist of the sulphides galena (PbS), sphalerite (ZnS) and acanthite ‘argentite’; Ag2S). Weathered parts of veins may include lead carbonate (cerussite), lead chlorophosphate (pyromorphite), zinc carbonate (calamine or smithsonite, ZnCO3) or zinc silicate (hemimorphite). Of these, only cerussite and smithsonite can be considered sources of lead and zinc, respectively, in England. Silver is usually present in solid solution in galena in England, nearly always in very small proportions although supergene action close to surface can result in significantly increased silver values in shallow deposits. It is also found, though rarely, as native silver and as discrete silver compounds, silver sulphides, or in more complex minerals, such as tetrahedrite, in combination with both lead and copper. Occurrences of these minerals in mining districts in England have been documented by Tindle (2008). 7.2 Location The main lead, zinc and silver mines occur in seven principal orefields in ten counties of England. Those in Devon and Cornwall comprise the Cornubian orefield; in Devon the main deposits lie around Dartmoor, in the Teign Valley to the east, around Plympton, to the south-west, and Mary Tavy and Bere Ferrers to the west.

The geological background of metals in Cornwall 1.1 There is a close geographical connection between the granites of Cornwall and the location of the important metalliferous mining districts. The Cornubian granite batholith has a W-E extent of over 250 km beginning from some distance west of the Isles of Scilly to just east of the Dartmoor Granite. Much of the batholith is concealed beneath Devonian and Carboniferous strata. 1.2 Relatively recent studies have concluded that the granite magma was essentially derived from partial melting of the lower crust, with a complex history of emplacement between 300 and 270 million years before the present - during and after the period of Variscan earth movements.

Until the mid-1950’s concrete blocks were often locally made, sometimes by individual builders, and shuttered concrete was mixed on site. Before the second world war concrete products were rarely transported more than 20 km. Because concrete was made where it was needed and as transport was difficult and costly, aggregates were sought locally. Now all blocks are factory produced and mass concrete is supplied ready- mixed from facilities where manufacture is strictly controlled. In many parts of Cornwall and South Devon ample supplies of cheap and often suitably- graded aggregate were available as waste materials from the region’s metalliferous mining industry. The use of mining and, more particularly, ore processing wastes as aggregates, is central to the problem of accelerated concrete degradation in the region. It is widely called “the mundic block problem”. Mundic is an old Cornish word for the common mineral pyrite (FeS2 ). Accelerated deterioration is generally associated with the in situ oxidation of pyrite (and other sulphide minerals) in mine waste aggregates and sulphuric acid attack on the cement.
