The detail is not great though, and should only be regarded as a rough guide. It might be interesting to see if the positions on the maps accord with anything on the ground. The site is known, in a wood at SX 647551, though I have not seen it. I know the student's tutor, as I was asked for material on the mine before she contacted Mining History, and I am passing [...]39_24Jan200312:55:[log in to unmask]

by the report of Mines Inspector W. N. Atkinson. He records that "One
side of the shaft was against the foundations of the houses on the east
side of the street. When the shaft was examined it appeared as if it had
been "tumped over" by a dome of brickwork... When plumbed it was found
to be 40 yards deep, and nearly full of blackdamp. The sides of the
shaft so far as could be seen were in a dangerous state, part of the
brick lining having fallen [...]40_24Jan200314:47:[log in to unmask]

Sorry to raise this issue again, but list members were left with two very opposing interpretations of the importance, or otherwise, of silver to operations at Keswick.
I wrote that "I do not remember silver featuring that much" whilst Peter Claughton wrote "As I recall, it was Hammersley's view that silver kept the whole MiŻ©odR |
