Desk Based Assessment (18 March 2019 - 1 April 2019)
The asset consists of the former location of an 'Old Coal Pit' annotated on the Ordnance Survey map. The mine was located along the Thrushbush Incline, which would have benefited the asset for transporting quarried materials on to where they were most needed. On subsequent maps the mine shaft is annotated as 'Old shaft' which may indicate this mining facility had fallen out of sue. The asset is no longer present on the Ordnance Survey 1956 map, which may indicate that it was covered or forgotten about by then.
