The Brendon Hills Iron Mines And The West Somerset Mineral Railway

This is a reprint of the original 2011 book (originally published at £24.99). Michael Jones, with the considerable help of the late Roger Sellick and the late John Hamilton, has here produced a definitive, fully documented, highly readable account of this 19th century failed enterprise, which nevertheless lingered on into the 20th century, when attempts to revive the mines failed in a similar manner. Mining and railway historians, railway modellers, students of Somerset history and the people of West Somerset will all find much of interest and value within these pages.
