Hauxley and Ellington.
There was no connection made by Ellington into Hauxley as they were probably working at different levels and also , as has been previously stated, Hauxley was full of water so it was somewhere to avoid. Using some figures available to me on the pumping capacity when the pit was going they work out at 6.5 million gallons per day or 45.5 million gallons per week.
This does not include the water which ran to Newburgh and was pumped from there. Figures like this indicate quite a water problem.
