Greenhow Rake Vein & Level

Reference to Plan 3-4
The length 2-3 makes an angle at B towards the Greenhow Rake Vein, which it cuts at fig 3. The level is continued eastward in the vein about 18ch 70l or 205fa. About 100 fathoms of this are open, only requiring some trifling repairs, as the ground is in general hard. Beyond there is an obstruction which prevents further access.

There are no workings about this part of the Mine at present, but there is a very large and strong vein, reckoned the strongest about Greenhow. It crosses a little east of the highest part of the Hill, and was formerly very rich in many parts of it, particularly near the surface, in what is called Bellon Bottom, a little NE of Duckstreet limekilns.


Reference to Plan 3-5
The main level is continued North Westward in or about Greenhow Rake Vein, about 5c 80l or 64fa and then loses the name of Cockhill Level, at the part where a branch turns to the left, forming a Crosscut called Primgap Level.

This part is in good repair being in common use.
