Just a small handful of mines in this post, four letter of the alphabet and five mines.

The visual bibliography map is running way ahead of these index pages, it’s multi-colour icons filling the uplands and borders of Dartmoor.

“Yet the discovery, perhaps unexpected, of remains of man’s past labours in a remote spot, adds an historical dimension to a day’s exporing and can, with a little imagination, extend understanding of the lives led by a sturdy and distinctive element in Britain’s past.”

Here is the last of the mine grid references extracted from the Industrial Archaeology of Dartmoor.

“The number of mines known to have existed on Dartmoor and its immediate boundary since the end of the eighteenth century is between 100 and 120, the figure depending on whether a number of small prospects carried out mainly as trials are included , and upon where the boundary is drawn.”

“What is now left of these Dartmoor Mines? At tbe surface of the site of an old mine is nearly always marked by undulations, often considerable,due to collapsed underground or surface workings and to spoil heaps, though often these have become partly obliterated by vegetation.”
