Rhan oGogerddan Estate Records
Letters concerning miscellaneous silver-lead and copper mines, and also stone quarries belonging to the Gogerddan estate, 1741-1920. These letters either refer to several mines within the same file or they do not supply the name of the mine at all. Many of them refer to the brief revival of interest in the Cardiganshire lead mines, from c. 1906. Some letters additionally concern other Gogerddan estate affairs. There are several references to Cardiganshire politics and to the effects of parliamentary legislation on local mining. For the main recipients and content see series description.
