Mining in Cornwall and Devon is an economic history of mines,
mineral ownership, and mine management in the South West of
England. The work brings together material from a variety of
hard-to-find sources on the thousands of mines that operated in
Cornwall and Devon from the late 1790s to the present day. It
presents information on what they produced and when they produced
it; who the owners and managers were and how many men, women and
children were employed. For the mine owners, managers and
engineers, it also offers a guide to their careers outside the
South West, in other mining districts across Britain and the world.
A long section on the Duchy of Cornwall provides details of the
Duchy's role as the largest mineral owner in the South West, and of
the modernisation and changing administration of the Stannaries.
The printed book provides a guide to the sources, their
interpretation and how they illustrate the long-term development
and decline of the industry; the composite mine-by-mine tables are
presented on an interactive CD included free with the book.
