Nenthead Brewery Shaft engine rooms

[petejackson]

NMCS presently has a contractor working on replacing the roofs of the Brewery Shaft buildings. We have received a capital grant from DEFRA. This grant includes funds for interpretation. I am looking for a measured plan/survey of the engine rooms and surrounding area. Anybody have a survey that they would be willing to let NMCS use as part of the displays? None of the mine plans that we have seen show the layout. Thanks. Peter Jackson on behalf of Nenthead Mines Conservation Society.

Could you use the plan from Peter Wilkinson's book ?

Peter says that this is a sketch plan. It may be the best available, but I was hoping for something more accurate.

This sounds like a prime candidate for a LIDAR scan, like they do in caves and that was done for the engine room in Sir Francis Level.
