Gordon, George Edward
George Edward Gordon (c. 1856 - 1929) was a Welsh mining engineer based in Swansea. Little is known about the details of his life and work aside from his production of a highly detailed map of coal mines and associated facilities in Wales, published in several editions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. According to an 1897 newspaper article, he had been manager at the Llanmorlais Colliery, but had left the position by that time. He also looks to have served in politics, as Chairman of the Gower Rural District Council.
