GREENHOW MINES REPORT 1844
Blue Jock Level, Crosscut to Moss Vein, and Moss Vein Level

Reference to Plan 11
20 fathoms in length near the Forefield of Moss Vein Level, is in part supported by long wood; one side of the level being in general soft, the other hard, so that this part wants arching.

The rest of these Levels and Crosscuts good, so far as could be examined. The Forefield of Moss Vein Level was not accessible, the air being bad. At present no one is working here.

The Vein in Blue Jock Level is considered to be the Greenhow Rake Vein, and to be the same that forms a junction, near the Climbing Way, with other veins, and from thence continues, under the name of the Hading Vein and New Sun Vein, in the line of the Hading Vein Level and New Sun Vein Level, to the dip of the limes. Fig 18.

Whole Length of these Levels 15c 70l or 172fa.
