Cockhill Level

Reference to Plan 1-2
This straight part of the level is driven through the grit and shale strata, which are seen regularly coming up in the sole and disappearing in the roof, to the limestone, which, about Greenhow, is the only lead producing rock. This part is driven 40 or 50 fathoms in limestone before it cuts the Cockhill Vein, at what is called the level head.

Repair good.

Length about 22ch 60lk or 248 fathom.


Reference to Plan 2-3
Cockhill Level continued to the right in the direction of the Cockhill Vein. This is driven chiefly in or about the vein.

About 32 fathoms of this length was found to want repair and the masons are now employed arching it.

Length about 20ch or 220 fathom.
