Hello chaps,

I dont know if any of you are aware but I have moved back to North Wales.

ANyhoot, just curious does anyone know of any surfice remains left from the old coal days in buckley? I had read somewhere there was an adit behind etna park.

Obvious I am not wanting to go down into anything with it being coal but I would like to see if there are any remaining bits left.

Cheers for any help.

Matt.

Yeha that place is a school now, no evidence of mining, thats why I am asking if anyone knows of anything.
