This shows the ventilating arrangement for this former ironstone mine. The sloping wall is where the air come up from the fan drift, the square brick chimney is the evasee exhaust and the pitched roof is on the room housing the motor. If you walk down between the wall and the vegetation you can get a view on the end of the fan that is a small diameter high-speed fan.
