Hading Vein Level and New Sun Vein Level
Reference to Plan 17-18
These seem to be driven in or about the same vein, and are generally in good repair. In New Sun Vein Level there is a moderate working under-level, about E.
Greenhow Rake Vein, Blue Jock Vein, and the Hading Vein, are to be considered but as different names, given in different parts of the ground, to the same vein, which is, as the miners say, "Master Vein of Greenhow".
A great cross vein that intersects this part of the ground has a curious effect upon the lead veins. When in driving the Hading, the Hazel, or Folly Vein, the Great Cross Vein is come at, the vein is lost, and the drift has to be turned about 10fa to the right before the vein can be found at the other side of the Cross Vein.
Length of both these levels (17-18) 25c 50l or 283fa.
Length of the Hading Vein Level from Low North Level to High North Level (20) 9c 40l or 103fa.
