Wigan coalfield faults
Plenty detail, zoom in and see.
We had it tough in our coalfield compared to most others, that's why Lancashire mining engineers became so highly skilled and developed so many technical advances of national importance. Dealing with faults from a few inch to 600 yards was all part of the challenge, or the "art of mining".
Plan drawn up in 1958 for H.E.Clegg's Presidential address to the Manchester Geological Society Branch of the Institute of Mining Engineers (Vol 117 Part 2)
