As another interesting aside, directed at Northern Light!, do you recall the brick wall exposed in the Chevington Drift workings by the opencast? It was there for a reason ie to keep water out of the drift. Any truth in the rumour at the time? Still, we have a very nice lake at Druridge now I suppose..........

It would be great to see pictures of uncovered local mine workings. Wonder if anyone has any?
