The Ecton Copper Mines Under the Dukes of Devonshire, 1760-1790

A new study of one of the most profitable and deepest mines of its era. Based upon thousands of previously unused documents, it covers work at the mine, Whiston smelter, Kingsley & Fox Wood collieries; social conditions; roads and transportation. It includes how the Duke's finances recovered from the mines failure and is a fascinating study of how our forefathers and mothers lived and worked.
