Bank End Colliery Sough

The Bank End sough is about 2,100 yards in length from the terminal shaft near Furness Vale to the portal where the mine water is discharged into the River Goyt. It drained workings in the Yard seam between Newtown and Furness Vale. The arched section seen here is constructed of gritstone and appears to be in good condition. It was probably constructed before 1811 and the last mines that it served closed about 1921.
