Industrial Archeology  A web site describing the some historic sites in the North of England.
The Coniston Copper Mines	This abridged article is taken from the new NVM Digital "The Coniston Fells" CD-ROM and therefore has not been optimised for web viewing, so loading is not amazingly fast. However, I'm currently working on speeding it up. The article here consists of 4 pages and a coloured map. There is very little information about these mines currently on the web, so it is worth being patient and having a look! The Cumbria Amenities Trust has produced a comprehensive CD-ROM of the underground workings for mining enthusiasts. Copies can be ordered at £12.00 + £1 P and P from: Sheila Barker, CATMHS, The Rise, Alston, Cumbria, CA9 3DB
Nenthead Mines - Smallcleugh Level	A trip into the inner reaches of the Smallcleugh Horse level at Nenthead, near Alston, in the Northern Pennines. The level is one of several which give access into an intricate network of levels, shafts and underground evcavations.
Biggar Gasworks	A description of one of the only two remaining small town coal gasification plants in the U.K. This site is located at Biggar, Near Edinburgh (the other is at Fakenham, in Norfolk). The article describes the plant and process which was typical of so many works which served our smaller towns up until the end of the 1970's and which were displaced by Natural Gas piped directly from the offshore oil and gas fields.
Gunnerside Gill Mines, Swaledale	Under construction but pictures and some text are in place.
