He will then take us on a round trip of the various mining districts\, including perhaps the best known copper mine in Wales  (at Parys Mountain on Anglesey)\, as well as the Parc lead and zinc mine at Aberconwy and the Gilfach copper mine in Caernarvonshire\, among many others. \n\n\n\nRob worked for 24 years in the U.K. Coal Mining Industry (deep mines) before embarking on research in archaeological prospection at Bradford University\, where he presented his doctoral thesis on British Sites of Smelting. Since then he has written extensively on Mining History\, especially of Wales and the Iberian Peninsula\, and is currently investigating the history of British Mining Technology introduced into Japan during the Meiji Restoration. \n\n\n\nRob will be known to some WGCG members as the leader of a walk around the Bredon Hill outlier\, near his home\, as part of last summer’s field programme. \n\n\n\nParys Mountain Copper Mine – Anglesey 2008\n\n\n\nParc Mine – Lead and Zinc – Aberconwy 1969\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom TalkYou are invited to a Zoom meeting: 19 Aug 20Talk starts promptly at 7:30 pmYou can join the meeting from 7:15 pm i.e.\, up to 15 minutes beforehand. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQueries and Enquiries to: warwickshiregcg@gmail.com
