My Dad worked here in the 50s. When I was about 10 yrs old, he got permission to take me down, { it was a Sunday, no mining that day}. We walked down the Drift entrance,it was very interesting experience, I'll never forget it..

I TOO JANET WAS TAKEN DOWN ON A SUNDAY WITH MY DAD AND THE FIREMAN DOING SAFETY CHECKS THE WORST THING THAT STRUCK ME WAS THE DARK I MEAN WE KNOW HOW DARK THINGS ARE ,BUT DOWN THERE IT WAS A BLACKER DARK I DID NOT LIKE IT ONE IOTA!
