Publisher's Synopsis

While the coal and iron industries have been well documented in Wales, the copper business has had less exposure. J. Richard Williams has put together in this readable book the story of the industry from the earliest times, through to the Industrial Revolution and after. Includes the story of Parys Mountain on Anglesey, and the era when Swansea was known as 'Copperopolis'.
