Re: can you explain this
The second three pics look like the thing in a field along Lottice Lane (from Britannia Crossroads towards Guide. If my notorious sense of direction is behaving itself this morning.)

Re: can you explain this
One thing which immediately strikes me about that first pic on the canal is how rusty the thing is, like those at the bottom of Avenue Parade. Surely HBC can afford a bit of paint?
I wonder if one set of measurements was made by Lancashire folk and the other by Yorkshiremen?

Re: can you explain this
Thanks Doug. That's really interesting. The illustration they have of the pyramid must relate to a different shaft to the one Mick photographed. The article does say that there was more than one.

Re: can you explain this
 the pyramid shaped thing is a cap!sited just after you go over the swing bridge at church veer left and its on your right hand side. It is acctually covering an air shaft that comes up from a stretch of the pit that was called whinney hill. |
