Coniston Copper Mines Re-Discovered Part 2
Posted: 15/03/2010 15:51:36 Reply | Quote As mentioned in Part 1 after conversations with the author this series of articles is now available to all. I have up-loaded Part 2 (of 3) of “Coniston Copper Mines Revisited” to the Coniston Copper Mine page. (link please) Part 2 includes the exploration of the Paddy End workings and the attempt to find a through route from Levers Water to Hospital Level. The fearsome “Funnel” is also descended and explored. There are five excellent maps and ten photographs from that period. It’s a fascinating insight into the early forays into what was then unknown and serious territory. Part 3 will be added later and records the discoveries of "The Oak Plug" "Top Level Extension" and the exploration of "Brow Stope." Jeff IP: 78.148.244.216 |
