Looking up the hill on 29 March 2014 from what had been shaft 1 of Blea Moor tunnel towards shafts 2 and 3. The shafts are where the navvies brought rock from the tunnel to the surface and with great precision linked the excavations from one shaft to the next. Shaft 1 is not a ventilation shaft any longer and hence the green palisade fence on the right.
