'NN test hole' near Middleton

After a massive fail at another site, CPC and myself ended up finding this little beauty on the way home.....obviously we slammed on the brakes and threw our caving gear on and jumped in.

This is obviously a test hole for minerals and possibly lead. Going by the carvings within the 'hole' it dates back to 1915. All 'cut' by hand, hammer and chisel with some chisel marks closer to the end of it. A nice steady 'cave/hole' but the wellies did breach.....
