I am assured that the tunnel is still there, although I have never been into it. It runs from just south of the bypass, east-south-east and under the track at the end of Western Lane (near to our blue shipping container that you might be able to see from Rosey Bank.) The Quarry was to the east of the track as shown on the photo in this topic posted by Shallcross #18 15 September 2010.
The land under which the tunnel runs is owned by our new neigbours and I don't think they have had a chance to look at it yet. I will ask them, because I would be interested in seeing the tunnel too.
Cheers
Elmo. (who is, at last, not living behind a screen of blue plastic.)

Sorry moogie, I didn't spot your earlier question re the tunnel.
Yes it is still there as described by Elmo. To get in you need to negotiate a variety of scrap materials and mud but it's very interesting once you surpass these obstacles.

Not a photo, I know, but maybe of interest to people from Buggy or, even more so, Dolly Lane.

bugsworth.
closing of dolly pit.
Owing to the expiration of the lease, the above pit has ceased working. In consequence, the persons employed on the pit bank, the engineers and banksmen, and a few of the carters and others, agreed to have a farewell gathering, and on Wednesday they improvised a dinner in a very plain way, and which was served in the pit cabin.
A conversationfollowed respecting bygone days and many changes which they had seen.
The closing of the pit is rather unfortunate for the people of Bugsworth, as they have been supplied by coal pits for many generations.

In relation to this.....Buggy Hall pit......was that belonging to the Hall itself 'back in the day'.....Have seen some old docs on the rock strata in the area that talked about both pits but was wondering if it was private to the house etc
cheers

Moogie, I just noticed that I had a small copy of a postcard that, I am sure, will interest you. It was on e-bay a year or so ago.
Cheers

CllrJonG attacheda photo of the Rose and Crown in the Topic "Historical Photographs of Whaley Pubs",
http://www.whaleybridge.net/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=656&p=12
I took a wander yesterday, to try and work out where it was taken from (or more accuratly, to work out what was identifiable in the background.) The northwest corner of the football pitch is about the closest you can get to see the same view.
I also found I had a, not very good, photocopy of a 1980 map (Site Plan 1 for the Footpath C4 Alterations [Footpath C4 being the one between the cricket and football pitches and the alteration being the foot bridge over the proposed bypass] from the Bypass plans in WB Library.) The map shows the southern corner (back right in the photo) of the Rose and Crown is now exactly in the middle of the bypass.
Cheers, Elmo.

Hi,
My apologies again to Mr Anonymouse , who sent me this photo some time ago which I have only just scanned in and printed. I'm quite happy to do this for Mr A , but he'll have to bear with me. The rush at work has relaxed a bit now so I'm catching up on the stuff I've had to put to one side.
The photo is of Barren Clough Quarry in Bugsworth.
Cheers
