Description:  Started in 1748, ‘The total length of the County Adit will never be known; a minimum length of 64km of tunnels was driven through five parishes to drain an area of 31 square kilometres.’ (Foreword). ‘The Great County Adit…was  the first modern study of that great co-operative venture, and immediately recognised as the standard work on the subject.    The book has been out of print for some years and is virtually unobtainable.   With regular requests for copies, author and publisher decided the reisssue this important volume. A larger format has enabled us to to include an improved series of definitive maps, new illustrations and a gazetteer of mining remains along the adit’s course.’ (Cover blurb).
