Description

DescriptionSeries of images of remnants of old mines in Blackstone area. Includes image of 'Jesse Brown' winding machine. The first coal mine at Blackstone opened in the mid-1860s, owned initially by a partnership of solicitor John Malbon Thompson and experienced miner Lewis Thomas, but later by Thomas alone. Welsh miners, including some of his own family, began to arrive in Ipswich to work for him. The coal seam they mined became famous as the Aberdare Seam and it made Thomas wealthy. He was elected to Parliament and became a patron of the local community. Apart from Thomas's mines, there were a number of smaller mines in the area including Cardiff and Borehole.
