Gazetteer of North Wales Collieries (Denbighshire & Flintshire)

In excess of 200 sites have been identified from documented sources. The mines highlighted with a tick have been mentioned in the HM Inspectorate’s Lists of Mines listed as working that year. Some mines were closed down for a few years and then start up again with new owners. A few of the mines listed were probably only small trials pits or the same mine with a change of name.
