Very little remains on the mine site itself, the main remains are a winding drum at the top of an incline.
The plans show:
- Two drifts, one straight with the return air way snaking around the workings.
- There is a height difference of 153 between the top and bottom of the intake drift.
- The seam dips at 1 in 9 towards the South.
- Two Thomas and sons electric pumps. One 1/3rd of the way down the drift @ 2000 Gallons/hrs for 6 hours a day. And one at the bottom of the drift @ 4000 Gallons/hrs for 6 Hours a day.
- Last workings in the Upper Pinchin are dated mid 1966.
