The BGS Collection Of Mine Plans.
Dataset description
Plans of various types relating to mining activity, including abandonment plans, gathered since the 1800's. Most were collected as part of the BGS mapping programme and the type and amount of data available will vary considerably. The coverage for Northern England and Scotland is more comprehensive than for the rest of the country. The plans include working copies, compilations and interpretations which may be copyright or confidential. The general nature of some of the plans means that they may not be applicable to a specific site. Current holdings over 60,000.
Constraints
Abandonment plans are on open file but other plans and compilations may be subject to specific approval and conditions. Copyright and other commercial restrictions may apply.
