Parc lead mine / Cyffty Help needed

[TomFerry]

This is going to be a very easy question for you all to answer .


Did anyone ever see this with "more " timber in place.



I am confident in the year 1974 you could access the cyffty engine house and descend into the cyffy mine , From parc it appears back then to reach cyffty you still had to take the ochre wade .


Easy question ah ?

The plank lying on top was originally across the hole.
Years ago, I believe in the 1980s people were dong a through trip down Cwffty Western Shaft and out through Parc. Cwffty Engine House was demolished in the 1960s and rubble used to fill in the Engine Shaft. This is as I understand it. Harold may know something about this.

It's been like that four at least 4 years.

Removed some information which while perfectly valid for the thread conversation probably should no remain public.

The gap was there in 1996.
