been having a sort through some stuff, have uploaded some of Thomas Sopwith's Plans/Sections to the relevant mine (a load more to do at some point) and scanned a couple of his publications that folks might not have seen and wasn't sure where to put them, so stuck on my server at:

Collection of Mineral Specimens:

Lead mining districts of the North Pennines:
http://kathman2.co.uk/assets/lead_mining_districts_of_the_north_pennines.pdf

one of my clients is a small publishing company here in the dale and they are about to re-publish Sopwith's tome on Alston Moor which is what prompted me, either that or I've been overcome with some strange desire to be full of christmas cheer (most unikely!) I can post a link to that if folks want (and admin are ok with it)

Wish someone would publish the mining parts of his diaries, there is loads of fascinating stuff in there

I've got copies of several and a few other papers/documents. Not sure where it stands regarding distributing them though

Think copyright is probably with his descendant who placed copies in various places.
They are not very convenient to access tho and the bits that have been published are not really the interesting bits as far as mining historians are concerned.
