SWAN MINE: Entrance passage	A loading bay to transfer stone onto horse-drawn carts	The height of the workings before backfilling	An unusal sight, a ladder up a faulted area
Cart tracks	Horse prints in the mud, carefully protected by boulders and tape	Saw sharpening bench with frigbob in place	More cart tracks showing how the carts leant outwards on the curves
Relics including chain, partly worked blocks and a water trough	Crane in situ and in quite good condition, but very fragile	Crane in not quite such good condition after the roof fell on it	A good illustration of the method of working in layers
BROWN'S FOLLY: Larger passages still using horse and cart	Part of the mine where rail has been used known as Clapham Junction	Water troughs fed from seepage collected in a gulley carved round the pillar	Graffiti
Dead crane	Pit props in the middle route through the mine
