EAW028907 ENGLAND (1950). Low Santon Farm, Rough Bottom Plantation and the surrounding countryside, Santon, 1950

British steel abstract water for use in the steelworks from here using electric submersible pumps.

Keepers cottage, demolished around 2008 for saftey purposes.

In approx 2008 a tractor dropped a front wheel into a void whilst harvesting parsnips. The steelworks excavated the site and I remember seeing huge con rods around 2 feet accros in the hole, it was said this was a ventilation shft for the ore mines. The pake crop mark visable leading from the rail tracks is a branch line serving this site, a search of old maps show this.

Location of the surviving accommodation buildings that served the adjacent WW2 HAA gun site situated directly to the right.
