Sir Stephen Proctor ì was working this group of veins in 1605 and, by this date, some ì of the workings were troubled by water. A drainage engine was ì erected at about this time by Jacob Howshold and Richard Taylor, ì but no details of its siting or construction are known. By the 1780's, all of the major veins had been discovered and ì numerous shafts sunk onto them, several being called engine ì shafts. The dividing line between the then-separate, Cockhill ì and Sunside leases was Sandy Beck. A hand driven level had been ì driven from just inside the Sunside ground, following the line of ì the beck, southwards, to the Waterhole Vein. This adit, called ì Jackass, or Hammond's, Level turned east on the vein for a short ì distance, with a connection to Carrington Shaft. THE COCKHILL MINE SE16. 114648 The Cockhill Level was driven from the side of Brandstone Beck, ì at 950 ft. A.O.D., in 1782, being cut to horse level size. It ì reached the Waterhole Vein, here called the Cockhill Vein, after ì a drive of 1,800 feet, in 1789. By 1800, the western branch of ì the level was nearly up to the lease boundary at Craven Keld, ì with workings on the Greenhow Rake, Primgap and Cleaver Veins. An agreement was made in 1795, between Edward Cleaver, John ì Yorke, the Mineral Lord of the Craven Moor Mines, and William ì Wood, lessee of the Craven Cross Mine, to carry forward the ì Cockhill Level into the Craven Moor ground. The Craven Keld ì boundary was reached in 1801, but a disagreement arose, between ì White, the Mineral Lord of the Cockhill and Sunside Mines, and ì William Wood, over the payment of royalties. This caused the ì level to be sealed off, thus stopping the drainage of water from ì the bottoms of Craven Cross Mine. The dispute was soon settled ì and the level reopened. This level, known as the 56 Fm. or Joint ì Level, was driven up to Bell's Engine Shaft, at Craven Cross ì Mine, by 1803. Whilst the shaft was being sunk to adit level, a ì toll of 1s 6d per waggon was charged for hauling out of Cockhill ì Level. In 1824, the mines were taken over by Thomas Hopper, and the ì Sunside Mining Company was formed. The Greenhow Rake proved to ì be a rich vein and, over the years, was explored for over 1000 ì feet to the SE at adit level and above, the vein outcropping over ì Greenhow Hill. Between the years 1859 and 1862, a sump was put ì down in the vein to a depth of 20 Fms. below adit level and ì workings made from it. In 1863, the workings had extended about ì 240 feet to the east, at the 20 Fm. level, and a 10 Fm. level was ì also being driven. Occasionally night shifts were worked on the ì pumps, it being usual to work two six hour shifts per day between ì 6am. and 6pm. The workings in the south eastern section of the mine were ì reached by the Sunside Level, driven from the head of Cockhill ì Level along the Sunside Vein for 1400 feet to the SW, until the ì Greengroves and Sir Thomas Veins were met. The Sir Thomas Vein ì was followed over a distance of 1200 feet, and was extensively ì stoped above the adit level. The oreshoots were, in the main, ì close to the grit cap, overlaying the limestones, and did not ì generally extend much below adit level in the central part of the ì ground. Most of the veins have considerable waste patches, in ì the form of gulphs, which are thought to be shakeholes formed on ì the fault planes. The gulphs, usually barren, consist of broken ì rock and clay, the walls showing heavy fluting and other signs of ì water action. One of these gulphs was encountered in the early ì part of the Sunside Level, and it let in a vast amount of sand ì and water, ""many thousand wagons of sand having to be drawn ì before the level could be driven under it. The surface over it ì was let down and the large empty space left in the rock was ì called by the miners, Dolly Hole, from being under Dolly ì Bentley's field"". The Sunside Mining Company, in one form or another, appears to ì have worked the mine from 1824 to 1878. Some confusion arises ì from the habit of referring to the company variously as the ì Cockhill Company and the Sunside Company. The Newbould family ì was concerned with the management of the mine from early in the ì 19th century. First came Nathan, followed by his son, Matthew, ì who was manager between 1860 and 1868. By 1875, the company had extended the engine sump on Greenhow ì Rake, sunk near its junction with Lumb and Fielding Veins. A 30 ì Fm. level was driven and the pumping set modified. The sump was sunk from a chamber cut into the vein wall. Three ì boilers were also housed in the same chamber. One, situated at ì the sump head, had the pumping engine mounted on it, the pitwork ì to the pumps being driven via rocker gear. The cylinders of the ì plunger-type pumps are said to have been about twelve inch bore. ì A donkey pump was sited at the 20 Fm. level stand, to assist in ì the first lift. Access to this pump was down a worked out vein, ì which haded at shallow angle. The smoke from the boilers was ì vented via a stepped flue, through old workings, to the foot of a ì 100 feet deep Chimney Shaft. The Sunside Level had been extended into the Sunside ground, and ì by the 1830's the whole network of veins was well developed at ì adit level. The principal access to these works was eastwards, ì along Sir Thomas Vein, to reach the Sun Vein, via Hezle and Folly ì Veins. To the south east, a connection was made, via the Blue ì Joke Vein and Blue Riggs (earlier Black Riggs), or North Forest ì Moor, Vein. In 1876, the Pateley Bridge Lead Mining and Smelting Company was ì working the mine. David Williams was manager. Little is known ì of this company, or its works. It worked the mine until 1889 and ì did more work down the Greenhow Rake Engine Sump, where the pump ì rod is said to have broken and blocked the sump. The subsequent ì flooding and the low price of lead discouraged the company from ì reopened the sump. David Williams and T. Hutchinson, the Mineral Lord, continued to ì hold the mine until 1900. It appears that little, if any, work ì was done during this time. SUNSIDE MINES SE16. 115649 About 1,400 feet east of the Cockhill Level, and some fifty feet ì lower, is the Coldstones Low Level or, as it is more often ì called, the Gillfield Level. This was commenced in 1782 and was ì driven up to the Waterhole Vein, by P. W. Overend & Co, in 1789. ì To the west the workings stopped in a gulph, about 200 feet east ì of Carrington Shaft. From the head of the crosscut the level was ì driven to the east along Waterhole Vein to its junction with the ì Sun Vein. The Waterhole Vein hades at between 10 and 20 degrees to the ì north, at adit level, but this rapidly increases to 45 degrees in ì the higher stopes because of the overlaying shale cap. The vein ì is over 10 ft. wide in places and has a marked tendency to swell ì and nip. The majority of the early workings were developed from shafts, ì which were sunk onto the Sun, Folly, and Haiding Veins. A large ì pipe, associated with the Garnet Vein and called the Pendleton ì Pipe, was being worked on Coldstones in 1784. By the 1830's most ì of the veins were connected, at adit level, to the Sunside Level ì from the head of Cockhill Level. From the Sun Vein Level of the Cockhill Mine, a 32 Fm. sump was ì put down to explore the junction of the Garnet and Sun Veins at ì the point where the united veins dip down the southern edge of ì the anticline. The sump was equipped with a steam pumping, and ì winding, engine, with the boilers housed underground and the ì smoke venting up an old shaft. The vein was, however, ì disappointing and not as productive as the upper sections. The ì company was contemplating the abandonment of the sump when, in ì 1839, the chimney shaft collapsed and forced the company's hand. ì The under levels were abandoned until the 1840's, when the Eagle ì Level partially drained them and some further work was done. In 1843, the best workings were in the Folly Vein and a report by ì Michael Collins gives a clear picture of the works. ""June 1843. ì The duty lead received is 20 pieces more than in the half year ì ending Dec. 1842 (320), and 80 pieces more than the produce in ì each of the preceding half years. More ore has been raised for ì some time back than usual, perhaps, in great part owing to the ì numbers of hands employed picking out in different parts of the ì mine. Some of the miners who have lately left Prosperous Mine ì have commenced working there. At present, the best workings are ì in the Folly Vein Under Level. They can sink about 17 Fms. in ì that vein in the summer season. From below that depth the water ì would have to be drawn. It is considered that the water is ì drained into the Eagle Level but that the duct is too small to ì take all the water after much rain or when the pressure is ì diminished. There are four men employed driving the Gillfield Level in the ì Sun Vein, four men in Hindmas Stand Trial, eight to nine men at ì other trials, and five wage men, about twenty in all"". 20th. CENTURY WORKINGS AND DEVELOPMENTS Following the Greenhaugh Mining Company's attempts to re-open the ì Craven Moor Mines (1915-19), the Cockhill Level was re-opened, in ì 1922, by the Bewerley Mines Ltd. This involved the rebuilding of ì the portal and cleaning out large amounts of sand from the ì crosscut, and re-laying the railway track with modern Jubilee ì rails. At the head of the crosscut it was found that the Sunside ì Level had collapsed, with sand and water issuing from the fall. ì To the west, the Cockhill Level had collapsed, at a place called ì the `Corkscrew', where the hanging wall of the Cockhill Vein ì hades steeply to the north. Very heavy timbering was required to ì hold the level open. Greenhow Rake was re-entered and the 30 ì Fms. Sump, which had been abandoned between 1880-90 when the pump ì rod broke and blocked the sump, allowing it to flood, was found ì intact with all its machinery, even down to the pressure gauges ì on the boilers. W.W. Varvill made an inspection at this time and ì reported ""that the old pumping set was capable of about 50 ì gals/minute and recommended that a 50 H.P. boiler and a sinking ì pump capable of 230-300 gals/minute be used to dewater the sump"". This was done the following year. The portable boiler was sited ì on the surface, at the collar of the chimney shaft, and steam was ì piped down the shaft to the pump. One of the old boilers was ì cleaned up and put to work, coal being brought in, and ash taken ì out, by a boy (Eddie Clarke) using a horse and a tub. Eddie ì maintained that the boiler man got the old engine running again. ì The sump was drained, with some difficulty, and the 30 Fm. level ì was entered and found to be blocked after a short distance. ì This, the large make of water, and the resulting high cost of ì pumping led to the abandonment of the sump before any work was ì done. Shortly after this time, J.H. Clay, of Thornton in Craven, took ì over the No.2 Shaft, at Craven Cross, from the defunct Pateley ì Mines Ltd., of which he was Managing Director. He also bought ì the leasehold of the shaft and the surrounding land. J.H. Clay ì then turned his attention to the Cockhill Mine and some stoping ì was done in the Cockhill Vein, for fluorspar. The Gillfield ì Level was re-opened and some considerable fluorspar stopes made ì in the Waterhole and Sun Veins. A gravity mill was erected near ì to the Cockhill Lead Smelter, but no details of this mill or its ì production are known. One surviving invoice is made out to the ì Caldbeck Company, Cockhill Mine, June 1936, and is for a 32 H.P. ì Blackstone Crude Oil Engine, from Cohen and Sons Ltd., London. ì The Caldbeck Company had ceased to operate the mines by 1938, the ì plant being robbed of materials in that year for its new mill at ì the Potts Gill Mine, in the Lake District. After this time, fluorspar continued to be worked from short ì levels, and shafts, driven into Greenhow Rake. The last of these ì was in the Greenhow Quarry , and was worked by George and Harry ì Mackwell, until it closed down in the late 1960's. George Boddy ì and George Mackwell had worked the Pendleton Pipe, and the dumps ì on Coldstones Hill, for many years. A small gravity mill was ì built to the west of Pendleton Pipe, near to the Maiden Engine ì Shaft. In the 1960's, some interest in the area was shown by some of the ì international mining concerns. Several deep boreholes were put ì down, and cored, into the Black Vein, at Merryfield, but no ì details of these are at present known. In 1971, two angled boreholes were put down across the line of ì the Waterhole Veins. No.3 was drilled from NGR. SE 11626460, at ì 1175 ft. A.O.D., at an azimuth of 162.5 degrees, dip 50 degrees, ì length 1091 feet 9 inches. The Waterhole North Vein was cut at ì 350 A.O.D., showing it to be five feet in width and carrying ì 21.5% CaF2, 0.08% Pb, 0.31% Zn. Waterhole South Vein is 7 feet 3 ì inches wide with 19.9% CaF2, 0.50% Pb, 0.16% Zn. Another hole ì which cut the Galloway Old, West and Primgap Veins showed them to ì be mainly calcite, with some iron. In 1976, the Northern Mine Research Society excavated the Chimney ì Shaft and entered the boiler house in Greenhow Rake. This was ì found to be a chamber, some 20 feet wide by 30 feet long, cut ì into the hanging wall of the vein. The remains of three boilers ì were found, but the engine and winding machinery had been ì removed. It is only possible to enter the boiler house at times ì of drought, when the water level drops and is only about five ì feet deep.

A.O.D., from a point on the north ì bank of Blayshaw Gill, 300 feet upstream from the bridge. The ì level was driven on a vein in grit, which had been side stepped ì four times by faulting, and had a hade of 5-10 degrees south. ì Stoping had been done above the level on these veins, known as ì Sun, Middle and North. Most of the company's work was centred ì upon the area between West and Speakwath Shafts. Cradock took over the mine in 1894 but appears to have done ì little work until 1901, when West Shaft was reopened and an old ì man's drift was entered at 76 feet from the surface. This was ì continued to the west, for 400 feet, in thin grits. The main ì level was utilised and an amount of crosscutting was done between ì 1901 and 1909. In the 15 years that Cradock worked the mine, ì only 62 tons of ore were produced and, from a field examination, ì this was a poor mine, no doubt sustained by its richer neighbour, ì Lolly Scar Mine.
