Mining
The threat to imported materials encouraged the expansion of mines and the re-opening of closed mines for the duration of the war.
Force Crag Mine, Cumbria (Lead/Barytes)
Carrock Wolfram Mine, Cumbria (Tungsten)
Inverarish, Raasay (Ironstone)William Bairds mine opened in 1912 and from 1916 was operated by the Ministry of Munitions with German POWs.
Hendre Mines, Flintshire (Lead)North Wales Manganese Mines
A number of late 19th century and early 20th century workings were re-opened within Merionethshire to supply Manganese a key component in steelmaking and alloys. Production in Wales rose from 8437 tons in 1914 to 17456 tons by 1918. The ores were generally of poor quality with low manganese and high silica contents. The industry declined rapidly in the five years after the war. Some mines including Benallt and Hafotty were re-opened during WW2.
