It probably is, I had a chat with the engineer who kindly let us look at the Radcliffe mine plans this afternoon. The opencast lads had the coal but he thinks the tubs may still be down there as it was under the field which was not dug up when they went down the incline and found them. He is also making an attempt at tracking down the opencast survey photos mentioned in another thread as well.
Excuse the pun! but he is a mine of information, telling me about the dragline uncovering the drift at Chevington at the outset and going down the steps into the first area below the surface, elf and safety would not like that sort of thing now!
