Synopsis

The Economy of a Coal Field presents an authoritative look at how geology and mining shape towns, wealth, and daily life in Yorkshire’s coal districts.


It explains why coal districts matter beyond fuel, showing how mineral resources influence population, industry, and local prosperity. The work ties practical mining issues to broader questions about transport, exploitation, and public records, offering a clear guide for societies that study and manage mineral wealth.



  • How coal deposits affect city growth, jobs, and regional development.

  • Ways a mining community can organize and preserve records for future use.

  • Practical topics like mine ventilation, drainage, and the improvement of iron manufacture.

  • Strategies for civic groups to apply geology and mining knowledge to public good.


Ideal for readers interested in industrial history, geology, mining, and the economic development of coal regions.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
