It was infact the entrance to a large underground brick built room. I'm assuming that it contained machinery, perhaps the engine to power the Wrockwardinewood incline plane? Or perhaps a water tank? I'd love to have this verified. <br /><br />Sections of the canal were still evident, by way of linear ponds at the back of Rockfield Terrace, at the top of Lincoln Rd and at the back of Stafford Rd by where the coal seam murial is on the Eastern Primary Road. <br />This would have beenb up to about 1974? Not sure if it was there after this date as I moved away.<br />Any more information on this would be gratefully appreciated. <br />Cal.hay21@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
