Filled shaft, Beckwith's 1976

Exploration of the underground workings was gained by the new day level in the valley bottom and a total length of 1600 feet of passage was surveyed before a roof fall was encountered. In 1996, the engine shaft, which was believed to have been filled, collapsed to a depth of 140 ft from surface stripping out the shaft lining. The shaft was rebuilt and capped by the mines group for the Government within six weeks. (Manx Mines info)
