  • Hello everyone. I hope you are well. Thank you for joining me on another stomp through history.
    This time, I am in the small village of Minera, near Wrexham in North Wales.
    I am walking a small section of the 1844 North Wales Mineral Railway from the epic quarries of Minera, to Meadow lead mine.
    This area was mined as far back as Roman times, and is even mentioned by King Edward the 1st, in 1296.
    Hidden away in the stunning landscape, we find an absolute bucket load of remains. From railway infrastructure, to lime kilns, lead shafts, and even a beautifully restored engine house, used to pump water from inside the lead workings.
    I hope you enjoy the explore!

    That seemed like a lot more infrastructure and remains than previous lead mines you've featured.

    What happened to the miners who wouldn't go to mine tin for Edward the First? You didn't get back to that story.

      From what I could see, they just continued at Minera. Found nothing saying they were punished for refusing.
