Comment
I am deeply saddened by Tony Hammond’s passing. I knew Tony personally, I liked and respected him a great deal.
In the roughouse world of mining, Tony stood out as an honest gentleman, totally focused on delivering value to shareholders of Colonial Coal.
Tony turned a small hole in the ground found by accident when making a car park into the Great Orme Mines, a wonderful educational facility for visitors to the Great Orme in Llandudno, North Wales.
The visitor centre Tony created allows people to experience what working in a Roman copper mine was like two thousand years ago.
