British Mining No 22 – “The Richest in all Wales”
by M. Palmer
Subtitled the Welsh Potosi or Esgair Hir and Esgair Fraith Lead and Copper Mines of Cardiganshire, the monograph considers the important historical background of the Esgair Hir and Esgair Fraith Mines which were initially very productive, but in the 19th Century became the scene of the lowest type of fraud and speculation, causing numerous companies to sink into obscurity.
Recent excavation work at the site is recorded in this monograph which has revealed many interesting and enigmatic features.
