mining information
« on: Monday 31 August 09 14:54 BST (UK) »
Can anyone recommend any good websites where I can find out about mining?

The communities
The collieries
The accidents
Wages lists
Employee lists

Things like this would be great.

The family member I am interested in are from in and around the Trevethin/Abersychan/Blaenavon areas.

Thank you in advance.
