Reprinted 2002. Deals especially with the post 1800 history of Parys Mountain and its mines, with a focus on James Treweek, d1851. Draws heavily on the writer's MA dissertation submitted to the University of Wales, 1960. Structured in five sections: 1] ''Heralding the discovery'; 2] 'Anglesey ascendent' - 'Renewed mining activity, Roe & Co, Nicholson Bayly and Edward Hughes' / 'Thomas Williams, the Parys Mine Co and the Old Mona Mine Co' / 'The working of the mines'; 3] 'Anglesey in decline' - 'Beginning of decline' / 'New Mona Mine Co 1811 and James Treweek' / 'Anglesey smelting industry' / 'Transport of ore and mine materials'; 4] 'The mining community' - conditions of work and wages and miners' disturbances and strikes; 5] 'Amlwch in transition' - ie impact on the town. Includes extensive appendices [pp167-82] including glossary of terms.
