Interestingly the deed indicates that the lands include coal mines & collieries. The coalfields of Slieveardagh were operated privately by local farmers & landowners in this area of Tipperary for about 400 years from around the first 30 years of the 17th century up to about 1825. If there was an outcrop on their land they mined it. It has been recorded that up to a 1000 men worked 35 mines up to this time. They brought some prosperity and security to many people in this part of Tipperary at the time. About 1824 the mines were operated under an Act of Parliament by the Mining Company of Ireland. They were kept open at a loss during the famine years. The coal mining industry in Tipperary petered out in the 1980's. This document is a primary research item.
