Excellent links, Mike! Thanks for posting them. I knew bits and pieces, but the article is well-written and filled in many gaps in my understanding.

I would like to second BR&P's word of thanks, I learned a lot from this article. Thank you!

Update on this Ghost from the Past:
Great thread on this topic going back 10+ years plus the 2 part series on the mines history which cleared up a lot of my questions.

Most recent posts talked about the few structures left remaining . well slowly but surely those smaller ones are being demolished.

Looking at sat views - would the 'yard' to the south have been in existence prior to the mine or was it developed to serve the mines?
Thanks - Mark
