Danethorn coal pits


On a lovely spring afternoon I took a wander on the moors looking at the coal mining remains above Wildboarclough, to the south west of Danethorn Hollow. This stitch of six images is looking from the Buxton to Congleton road and Dane Valley on the left, to Shutlingsloe on the right.The land beyond the nearer wall is filled with mining remains as is the area immediately beyond the second walll. There are at least ten shafts and associated spoil heaps visible here. I think they are probably eighteenth century workings and judging by the remains they were not worked with a gin. These shallow pits were probably wound with a hand windlass.
