This was taken when the owners of Settlingstone Mine reopened it.The man at the level mouth is I think Maurice Nichol, and the chap in the centre is "Sky" Marshall.One of the ponies from Settlingstones was brought over and promptly ran away.This seemed to be a almost daily occurance. The venture was not a success

The Settlingstones lads worked another at Mohopehead about the same time as Coalcleugh.
The guy in the Level mouth looks a bit small for Maurice, but I suppose he'd only be a lad then.

The only other mine worked in the Mohopehead area was longcleugh,I Think, which if it is the one you mean was worked years after Longcleugh
