Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Main Shaft of the Benallt Complex Fall into this one and you fall some 130 feet to what is now a watery grave. This was just one of six shafts in the Benallt complex which lead to access tunnels at various levels. The general practice was to mine the manganese body from below with the mined ore then being shoveled down a shoot to wagons in a lower level tunnel from where it would manhandled into the shaft lift. Waste from the surface would in turn be fed down another shaft for infilling the mined area, which account for the absence of spoil tips of any size. Some shafts had ladders which were used as both an access and an escape route from the mine.
