    Default Ardennes Coticule mine.

    I have had an e-mail from Rob Celis. We were talking about the sources or possible sources of older Coticules. He was telling me that Ardennes Mine was called Burton Rox before the Cellis family bought it.
    Burton Rox actually closed in 1990 but was the sole active mine after 1960.
    He said there were hundreds of little family mines up till about 1940.
    I thought you all might be interested. I'll keep you posted about any info I get.
    I love a bit of history
