HIGH PIT WILMA 408 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Acetylene naked flame lamps,cos the pit was considered as "Gas-Free"..with regard to explosive Methane. Great conditions here,we at Choppington High Pit would have said this was "Stannin' like a Palace"!! High,dry,good roof conditions,even the coalface is a good height,aboot 2"- 9" a wud guess..mebbe even the Yard seam. Great pics. Willy Ward knew hoo ti get a gud shot in darkness! Link to comment
