I have come across one reference to the depth of Tarry Colliery in a walking guide, but I don't know where it came from. 19 fathoms or 114 feet.
I have also been told by someone who used to live on the farm where the colliery was, that on the track towards it there was (probably under soil now) a waste mound and near it a metal grid and under it an old engine for the pit.
