Each hole was started by a 2.4m square shaft from the surface to 1 Level. Some went lower. The ore was chipped away starting at the surface around the shaft and the ore would drop down to the shaft to be sized and loaded on the undergound haulage sytem.RightsPublic DomainCollectionReginald O'BrienSubjectMiningMining Sites
