Bambam there was at one time 3 shafts which were fenced off on LGR one on the left and two on the right just past Redgate road, Again with the Quaker pit pumping water out and the shafts sinking exposing the top of them, Probably only back filled with soil and rubble when they had been finished with. When they were building the houses on Victoria Road the digger exposed a shaft on the right hand side so they did not put a house there but put a footpath through to Hamilton Road instead.
