It's the first time I have viewed the colliery plans in relationship to the surface map. Brings back memories. I served my time as an Apprentice Electrician there and did my face training on Y63 and Y101 (horrible wet hole) with the fillers.
Worked on Y102 and Y103 after I qualified and also did a bit of face installation on Y66. No mention of the big steel air doors around about Y18/19 area on the loco road.
Can't imagine how many gallons of water must be down there now.
