This plan shows the underground workings in the 10'6" thick Main seam at a depth of 110 yards together with surface features which identify the junction of Brunswick Road and Victoria Road in the top left corner with the small paddock on the opposite side of the road that was occupied by the Duke of York Inn (Liverpool House). The shaft that was found in the Alexander court house garden is marked as Shaft No. 3.
