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.

Provides details of the output, ownership, management and employment at several hundred mines, mainly around the lead districts of Halkyn and Minera mountains. This book also provides a brief overview of the development of metal mining from the eighteenth century to modern times.
