Question... Harboro Rocks area

[Deep-Penetration]

I'm trying to find out the name of a mine in the Harboro Rocks area...
Its situated on the opposite side of the road from harboro rocks near Hoben Minerals in a badly scared field..
Its a very deep winding shaft, now covered with concrete sleepers, just a few yards from the road..
Any ideas?

Do you mean near the large pits opposite the Rocks?

Could be Bees Nest Mine.

Nah it wasn't Bees Nest Mine, it was a little further north than that..

Ah - I know that shaft (I lived in Brassington until 2003) - I don't think it has a particular name. There ar loads of shafts around that area.

There is another shaft in that field which was small and narrow and had an old motorcyle wheel over the top - fine most of the time as you wouldn't want to stand on it obviously but in winter, when it collected the snow and got covered... :shock:
