Grid ref from Cambrian was SH 6829 0446.

Bick has location quoted as within 2 miles of the port of Garreg, he then gives possible location as SN 728 962, and nearest shaft gives SN 7266 9625, so we’re using this.



1853 - Engine shaft sunk to 12 fm, with three lodes, one of which was 1-2m wide ‘holding out great promise and comprised of fine gossan, prian, spar and branches of lead ore’.
