Description
Now flooded. The 375 feet Level, accessed from Oakwood Land Level at around 370 feet above sea level, slopes gently at about 1 in 300, rising both northwest and southeast, and extends for 4,300 feet. Another level, the 235 feet Level, was driven from China Engine Shaft and stretches 4,600 feet. Extensive underground workings lie between these two levels.
