DURING THE RENOVATIONS TO SMITHS BOOK SHOP A LARGE MINE SHAFT WAS DISCOVERED ON THE PAVEMENT IN FRONT OF THE SHOP. THIS IS THE PLAN OF THE RENOVATIONS REQUIRED TO CAP IT AND FILL IT IN
THANKS TO TREVOR SMITH FOR THE INFORMATION

Oh dear, there's a typo in your heading Ron - Smiths Book Shop Renovation Pit - Plan.

I can remember when the mine shaft was discovered, but on inspection was it part of the cellar that had collapsed into the shaft when it opened up?

Ha Ha typo error should have checked before I posted it
