Description
- The RAF 1949 aerial photograph shows a section of retaining wall that forms the northern edge of a large spoil heap to the south of the mining complex. The wall formed the southern boundary of an open yard between the engine house and the detached chimney, and extended between the north-western corner of the engine house and the south-east corner of the rectangular building (Feature 1.4). The line of this retaining wall is now followed by a short concrete linear short structure (Feature 1.6), which is up to 2m wide. Although broad for a simple earth-retaining wall, its southern edge corresponds with the line of the retaining wall shown on the 1949 aerial photograph and it was either a part of this wall or it was constructed against the retaining wall.
