A detailed history of the Tasmania Gold Mining & Quartz Crushing Company, which operated at Beaconsfield on the Tamar River from 1877 to 1903.
Written by Nick Langsford and published in 2024, the book draws on company records, newspaper archives and other primary sources to document the establishment, operation and eventual decline of one of Tasmania's significant colonial-era gold mines. Beaconsfield's gold mining history is well known to Tasmanians — and this company predates the later Grubb Shaft operation that brought the town international attention in 2006.
This book covers the earlier period in depth, making it a useful resource for family historians with connections to the Beaconsfield district, researchers of Tasmanian mining history, and collectors of Tamar Valley and northern Tasmanian local history.
