Peter. Please don't leave us guessing. Whereabouts is this derelict mine?

I honestly can't remember Albert, I have been trying to put the pictures together, but nothing comes up, maybe I should have had a moviecam that would have filled the gaps. See what you think of my comment where I'm stood at the window; thanks Albert.

You could be at John Pit, there were external stairs leading up to the offices, the windows of which were four panes wide. Downstairs was the workshops, and in front of all that was the baths, which were of a much later date. Art should be able to verify this. This doesn't explain the building with the stubby chimney though.
