And speaking of chance; I went walking about in the Gin Pit Village in Astley this Wednesday after work (my hours got reduced for that day), I managed to find most of what I went looking for, albeit without finding my original focus, however on getting back to my car after my rambling through hawthorn bushes and brambles an inch thick and thorns to match, I decided on a whime to go on to another site I had some interest in, despite the threat of incoming rain.

Very glad I did, as I found a lot! It was the site of Kermishaw Nook Pit, found most of the capping for the shafts, deepest of which was about 2832ft in depth.... not sure which one this was, my phone ran out of power earlier on:
