View up Engine Shaft

This is a hand held camera shot taken with about 35500 lumens (that''s thirty five thousand) of light up the shaft. What can be seen here is a section of pump rod and possibly a balance bob rocker beam and a section of wrought iron support which would come off the King Post. I can remember a timber box in there originally, now buried. This was possibly a balance box. I believe that the ledge that can be seen corresponds with the 14 fathom level.
