    Description

    Original Source, Very Scarce

    A handwritten manuscript 'Journal of Bores Put Down in the Dalmellington Mineral Field' by the Dalmellington Iron Company between 1849 to 1851.

    The Dalmellington Ironworks were opened by The Dalmellington Iron Company in 1848, in the small Sottish market town of Dalmellington. Good quality coal was produced from surface workings and sent down the turnpike road to Galloway, with the town growing after the completion of a local railway in 1858.

    This manuscript discusses the depth of boreholes made in the mid-glen, Craigmark; Burnfoot Hill; Burnhead Glen and Lillyhole between 1849 and 1851, with note made of the depths and locations at which coal and ironstone were found.

    A wonderful insight into mines in mid-nineteenth century Scotland.
