Coniston Copper Mines: A Field Guide to the Mines in the Copper Ore Field at Coniston in the English Lake District, Eric G. Holland
Description of Coniston Copper Mines: A Field Guide, Eric G. Holland
It is good to include Eric G. Holland's Coniston Copper Mines Field Guide (published by Cicerone Press) in our Lake District Industry section. The Lake District as we see it now has been shaped by industrial and commercial activity. Mining and quarrying have both supported past generations and added to the attraction for visitors today. Coniston village, although now largely given over to tourism, was not built to provide visitor accommodation but for the families of quarrymen and miners. This book (Coniston Copper Mines: A Field Guide, by Eric G. Holland) is intended to help those who (properly experienced and equipped) wish to explore something of what is left of one of these important Lakeland industrial activities.
