Knew I had drawn something related to Broomhill's Moorhouse workings.
from another thread:
Coal raised at East Togston Drift then carted across the fields to Broomhill according to Alan.
The seam is the Albert/Yard or 'G' seam. Probably split as it is G1 here. We worked the same seam at Ellington. I remember it well! Shuttle Cars and 12 CMs. (
video same machines as Ellington if anyone is interested)
Some observations on the workings shown above.
They have left a pillar for Pretoria cottage, and stopped in front of the Radcliffe Terraces and Stable Row.
The workings heading south appear to stop at about 80 feet below OD. They must be just 25 metres or so below the surface? The opencast comes along and finishes that lot off in the future.
The 'G' seam must outcrop in the south of Radcliffe village, which fits with the fact that the G seam is exposed on the beach at Bondicar.
