SLIDE SHOW: The Alderley Edge Mines

Abstract

The talk focused primarily on the geology of the site, this being the particular interest of the audience. After explaining the geomorphology and the mineralisation, the talk covered the history of the site, especially during the 19th century with the use of Henderson's acid process to extract copper from the sandstone.
