Next Aditnow Mining Talk is the 6th May (tomorrow) at 8.30 on the Zoom Platform.
Rob Vernon will be presenting on the Hathorn Davey Company of Leeds, manufacturers of steam pumping machinery, 1872-2016.
Hathorn Davey were deeply involved with Cumbrian mining and their engines crop up all over the region. The iron mines of Furness had many examples. There's hardly a county in Britain that didn't have a HD engine somewhere. They were also used all over the world from Australia to Turkey and from India to Uruguay
Rob has made a study of these and in the course of his research has tracked down many of them., even visiting a pumping station in Japan.
Rob has had an interest in Mining History from an early age and has also made his career in Mining Geology and later Archaelogical Geophysics. He has published many books and papers on mining history including 2 books on Spanish Mining, co-authoring a 7 book series on Mines of the Gwydyr Forest and his latest book on Hathorn Davey.
