Scaleburn Firestone Level, Nenthead, Cumbria. OS Ref: NYxxxxxx.
Most
explorers know of the Firestone Level whose entrance is just under the main
road, this level follows the Rampgill Vein. There is another Firestone Level
which is less known that follows the Scaleburn Vein. I only become aware of
this level during the research for the Scaleburn Mine Plan.
The level
follows the Scaleburn Vein almost upto Chester's Cross Cut on the Horse Level,
and has 4 shafts which intersect it. There are also further shafts from the
level which should connect with the Top Sill Level of the Scaleburn
Vein.
