The shaft, engine house foundations, and chimney remain at SJ 2130 5680. A capped shaft to the northwest now has a portal for quarry use. A second shaft, shown on the 1st edition OS map, is now a large spoil mound. South of the Bog East Engine House, three shafts run north to south at SJ 2130 5680.



Bog East Shaft was sunk around 1860 at the eastern end of the Westminster Vein.



Stoddard’s Silicon Quarries own the land and still pump the water for quarry use.
