Full description
BIRD + HIRST, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV221965.
Brimpts north mine. Structure on 1886 os map. Possibly sawpit. Little evidence now remains on the ground except some small pieces of stone rubble and a bank built across the early excavations. The structure, about 7m wide and up to 11m long was obviously built to take advantage of the pre-existing excavation. This suggest that, sited between the carpenters' shop and the engine shaft and with drainage down towards the engine shaft, the structure may have been the saw pit mentioned in reports in mining journal (bird + hirst).
