I should imagine that everyone in the south west who gets underground has visited Excelsior, but what of the other drive that was started on the southern side of the hill? This is mentioned in various books but with little detail.
Dines say it started near Silverhill mine and was driven for 360 fathoms, a fair distance and not much shorter than Excelsior itself.
Any info or historical pics anyone?
Cheers Tony;D
Getting underground, zero impact, zero politics.

Haven't been there for years but if its where I am thinking a nice portal just below a road but run in just above it.

I took a nosey at it a couple of years ago - its not open.
