The past uncovered - shaft of Crow Orchard Pit
In the yard of the garage on Westwood Lane lay this pit shaft. When the site was cleared for redevelopment the shaft had to be re-capped with concrete. The other shaft lies just beyond the fence.

Hoping the ground doesn't swallow them up.
Contractors working for the Coal Authority drill to ascertain whether a depression which appeared in the ground on the junction of Westwood Lane and Eton Terrace is an unknown and inadequately capped coal mining shaft. After nine feet of soil and clay they came to solid sandstone in all three drillings.
The engineer's maps, however, show a shaft as being recorded a few yards to the right, in the middle of Westwood Lane itself. A known shaft, recently capped, lies between the two rows of houses in the background, whilst an older concrete triangle marks the capped shaft in front of the left hand row, in Deakin Street.
