When the Quaker pit was open in which direction did they mine coal?About 30yrs ago when pumping water out of the mine they exposed at least 2 mineshafts along Leyland Green Road and I also remember sink holes appearing in the field behind Birch Grove which at the time was put down to shifting sand.
