Monument record 1446/7/10 - West Mine Building Remains

Several large limestone blocks and iron work were found and exposed the base of the footpath leading to Whitebarn Farm during the 1997 excavations (1). No building is shown here on the 1870 or 1900 O.S maps and the area is then covered by a sandhill. It seems likely therefore that the structure relates to the 1911 - 1919 phase of working. The footing may be part of an inspection pit or else for the foundations for machinery such as a flywheel (1).
