We have been given a job at the base of the main access shaft, to erect a Pentice- safety cover to protect work going on in the sfaft below the Pentice. Before we can do that we have to remove 30+ years of Muck and rubbich and the remains of a cage that free fell to the bottom and has been resting there for 25+ years. The cage and spoil needs to be removed to allow acces further down the Mine to the deposits, a dirty messy and smelly jog as all the rubbish from the mine has ended up here as well the remains of discard meals and body waste for those too lazy to use the toilets, Glad i'm just doing the risk assessment and the Mine is carry out the job. Some of these photos are mine, the remainder from the Mine Engineer.
