Hi

There is some information on these mines here www.manxmines.com/FOXDALE%20MINE.htm and here www.manxmines.com/CORNELLY%20MINE.htm

My gg grandfather worked in this mine during the 1850s - and it was later named Townshends mine. You can gain some idea of the people living and working at the mine and in these cottages from the census.

cheers

John
