Occupations
Mid Wales Lead Mining
There has been mining for lead (and silver) in North Cardiganshire for thousands of years. One mine in particular has an interest for me as my great grandmother worked in it in the nineteenth century together with her parents and siblings. This mine north of Pontrhyfendigaid is called Esgair Mwyn. Click below for photographs, history (sometimes violent) and stories of the mine.
You will also find details of the MORRIS families who were lead miners as well as farming small holdings near the mine in the parish of Gwnnws, Cardiganshire.
