| Well House (Continued) | [continued from page 13] "yards towards the north of the Well House. This las excavation consists of a drift slanting into the rock for several yards, till it takes a somewhat perpendicular descent, evidently communicating with the other shafts by the level drift beneath" *** "Of the four springs which proceed from the eastern wall of the mine, three are collected in a cistern, about 300 yards from the bottom of the shaft, and from thence conducted, into the earthen pipes, to another cistern immediately under the shaft, from which the water is conveyed, by forcing pumps, up the shaft into the Well House. The shaft, which is thirty fathoms deep, is provided with a series of ladders, fastened on platforms, at safe distances, by means of which the mine may be explored." *** "The temperature of the water in the collecting cistern is 49° Fahrenheit at 9.a.m., and the quantity of water flowing into it about 1000 gallons per day - a supply sufficient to meet the wants of a very large number of visitors. |

Ordnance Survey - Stirling county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Stirling, which is in central Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
