Limestone shaft

Limestone shaft
Mining of limestone in the Lilleshall and Pitchcroft area of Shropshire commenced in 1794. By 1826 a mine had been established at Pitchcroft with two shafts and a couple of limekilns adjacent to a branch of the Donnington Wood Canal. This is the view down one of the shafts. Mining here ceased after a serious flood in 1860.
