Nice video. I wonder what they all found down there.
Eldon dropped a couple of the shafts near by a few years ago, but not the main Seedlow shaft.

I assumed because the shafts up there are all on the rake (rather than adjacent to) that the tall ginging is actually backfilling of old open rake workings, to bring the shaft top up to general surface level. I'm sure many here know better though...Interesting stuff - I wonder why the ginging went so deep? It can't still be shale on surface up there - maybe the loess was especially thick!
Intersseting – it looked to me as though the people going down were not clipped on/strapped in to the chair.
