About the
: Welsh Mines Society
|
The Welsh Mines
Society arose in June 1979 out of an informal meeting of subscribers to
David Bicks' Old
Metal Mines of Mid-Wales. Sadly
David died in
January of 2006, (Obituaries : by GWHall and SJSHughes) but his
influence on the research and preservation of Welsh mining history will
never be lost.
From the start our ambitions have been modest enough - we
never set out to do anything in particular, and, judging by
attendance's (to our twice yearly field meets), we have succeeded
pretty well.
Although we sought
to do so little, much in fact has been done. Several (mining)
sites have benefited from our labours, we have hosted NAMHO, and the
Welsh Mines Preservation Trust, born of the WMS in 1991, has achieved a
great deal. In addition, several members have worked closely
with Cadw and the Royal Commission
on Historical Buildings in recording and preservation. And,
during the last 35 plus years, our interests have broadened into slate and
even coal as well.
