Understope, 14 fathom level

From the manway exploring west towards Boundary Shaft reaches a forhead, as shown on the plan. Just before this is an understope about 20 feet deep. I attribute this to Robert Nancarrow who was working there in the mid 1930s and believed that the mine could be worked economically above adit for zinc as a small scale operation. Towards the forhead the level has been backfilled from this operation, as has the level to the east adjascent to the rise.
