Place & story
A new lessee reopens the workings
Coal mining at Anna-hone had stopped in 1825, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Donaghenry account. By the time he wrote, the owner had leased the mines to a new operator and working had resumed on a substantial scale. Lewis did not name that lessee. He also recorded limestone, freestone and basalt quarries in the parish, placing the reopened mines within a broader extractive economy. [2]
