In the past few years mining in Britain has
undergone considerable changes. Modern "state-of-the-art" mines have often
closed within a few years of opening, and some have even been abandoned
before they were finished. In addition to underground exploration and training Members carry-out historical research, the results of which the Club publishes in various formats.
Below!
The Club produces a quarterly newsletter
called
"Below!" which contains details of recent
club trips, and short articles of historical interest relating to mines,
mining history and other underground features in Shropshire and surrounding
areas.
"What the Papers Said"
Small items of historical interest from old newspapers, magazines and journals which members have coem across, and which we feel might be of interest are reproduced
in our "What the Papers Said" section on this web site. Hopefully
these might help someone else with their research.
Accounts
The detailed results of
Members research on a particular mine site or topic is occasionally published
by the Club in the form of an "Account".
Accounts can range from detailed surveys and histories of particular sites, to write-ups on club explorations, and the results of historical research into, for example, mining accidents in Shropshire.
