This area is dotted with old mine shafts, apparently to mine a seam of good stone which presumably was too deep to get by open-cast methods. The structure in the foreground, with iron bars sticking out of a massive block of stone, might have been a crane, but this is a guess. The houses in the middle distance are on Toothill Bank, and those at the top of the hill on Long Ridge
