Subject: RE: What is a Curbly / Curbly main ?
It is possibly a fictional name of a mine.
From the List of Scots Collieries there are several:
Ayrshire: Coylton : Littlemill district. Shieldmains Nos. 6, 7, 8, 12 and 14
Midlothian: Musselburgh : Dalkeith district. Fordel Mains
from The Scottish Mining website
http://www.scottishmining.co.uk/Indexes/1944listofmines.html
http://www.scottishmining.co.uk/Indexes/ListMines1893.html
there are other lists for 1854,1860 and 1866 as well
However there doesn't appear to be a Curbly Main listed.
My Grandfather lived in Musselburgh not far from Fordel Mains.
