Description
This working is largely unknown, but I can give a little info. This working has three main levels. the top level has been worked within living memory, and is basically just a close-head with no relics. A little further along is a shaft dropping down to level one. level one can be reached by following a matty-spedding level behind some houses. this level is only about 4 ft in height and about 2.5 ft wide. after a distance there is a hole in the floor leading to level one, which leads to the shaft and 'possibly' another chamber.
