A member of the public sent in a photograph to the Historic Environment Record of what was thought to be a well. Upon consultation with colleagues, it was determined that this structure was the location of a mine shaft dug to determine the thickness of the ironstone bed. The shaft has a brick lined top where the loose strata is found changing to a cut through rock lower down. Site preparation work for Easton mine started in December 1958 so this shaft is likely to predate this. {1} The United Steel Company began work on the Easton Mine in 1958. It closed in 1967. {2}
