Limekiln Pool Level

[alasdair neill]

Can anyone give the location for the above? The geological Survey Mineral Resources volume seems to give its site as the same as Lydbrook Iron Mine (as shown on an old plan reproduced in an article on Drybrook level in an old RFDCC newsletter). However the government Lists of Mines gives it as seperate, but with the same owners, as Lydbrook.
Is the Drybrook level still open (the RFDCC article suggests it was getting filled with rubbish). It seems this level has some considerable significance in the history of mining technology more research on that underway.

According to http://www.copsewood.org/mining/books/oldham/fod_02.htm which is a page taken from Tony Oldham's book it's SO 6280 0430 However that puts it near the Norchard Steam Centre. I'll have to check some other stuff when I get home to giveyou any more info.
