Browns Folly Mine - Jan 2011

[oldscrote]

Do you think it was the original miners graffiti Scote, I just assumed that it was modern day cigarette lighter stuff (the sort you see in phone box ceilings etc)

But then who am I to assume, you know the history of this place better than me!!!

Oh yes that is original miners stuff on the ceiling,done with the smoky oil lamps they used probably when they were first cutting the heading as that would have been the only time the roof would have been easily reachable{see the 2nd of your historical photos}
