Talk:Kent Coalfield

NCB South Midlands Area

When visiting Snowdown around 1980 I noticed larged signboards lettered `National Coal Board South Midlands Area'. Of course, personal reccollections are not reliable sources, but does anyone have any reliable sources documenting the existence of these signs or supporting the allocation of the Kent coalfield to NCB South Midlands Area?

Site visit 1899

On 18 July 1899 the site was visited by members of the Society of Engineers. The report of the site visit was written up in The Practical Engineer [PE]. The description there differs in a couple of respects from this article.

1. The depth here is given as 300 metres (980 ft) whereas PE gives 1,113 feet (339 m). Is the 300m a rounded off approximation?
2. PE states that the shaft lining is of 18 inches (460 mm) brickwork in cement, but that from the impervious grey chalk up to sea level cast iron tubbing has been used whereas the article as it stands implies tubbing for the whole shaft.

Before contradicting a cited statement, does anyone have any further information? Martin of Sheffield (talk) 08:37, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
