Eh? What colliery at Ebbor Gorge? Is there something about this little corner of Mendip I never knew? :confused:

You've not missed much by the looks of it!

"Ebbor Gorge [ST 523 484]
A thin belt of Coal Measures strata occurs in Primrose valley, at the foot of Ebbor Gorge near Wells. Coal was mined here from a shaft 36 m deep in 1835, but the seams were very thin and only a small amount of coal was mined".

Thanks Morlock. I never knew that!

I've added that text to the site description in the database.
