A DANGEROUS PLACE TO WORK!
Women & Children of the Devon & Cornwall Mining Industries 1300-1970

By Lynne Mayers

This book tells the story of the employment of women and children right across the mining industries of Devon and Cornwall, up until the second half of the 20TH century. It includes their work at the clay works, slate quarries, foundries, smelters, and gunpowder and explosives works, as well as at the mines.
Chapters are based on papers which first appeared in the Cornwall Family History Journal between 2001 and 2006. They have since been updated.
