Full description
Buck, C., 2010, George & Charlotte Mine, Morwell, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 43 (Report - Assessment). SDV345606.
This feature has been interpreted to be a pump drain lobby. It connects to Engine Shaft, at a point where mine water was pumped up from the 40 fathom level and out through this lobby. The lobby was cleared of debris in the 1980s, it is 8 metres long and partially revetted with stone. Its top edge is 3 metres below track railway level, and the portal is only 1.5 metres high and 1 metre wide, inside the steel gated and padlocked portal exterior. Water still currently drains out of the feature. Other details: Figure 18: site 35.
