GREENHOW MINES REPORT 1844
Sun Vein Level

Reference to Plan 34-35
Crosscut, slanting to the Sun Vein. Driven in Limestone.

Repair, good.

Length 5c or 55fa


Reference to Plan 35-36
The Forefield of this level is at present, and has been for some time, wrought by 4 men. The vein is poor in the Forefield, but, a few fathoms below, there is ore in the roof and sole that pays for working; and, about 20fa before the Forefield, there is a working below the Top Drift, as mentioned in the account of the Sun Vein West Level.

A part of this has lately been arched, just above the turn at 35, and a few other parts that require it are in course of repair.

When completed those part of the Gill Field Level now in use, leading from the level's mouth to the Sun Vein Forefield, will be in good repair.

Sun Vein Level 29c 30l or 322 fathoms.
