Thanks for the copyedit- this one was a difficult one for many reasons the secondary source was convoluted, and many primary sources were contradictory having heavy POVs. I know that you have mastered prose and I am still learning- thanks for the time. But a few points

Old Pit was the name of one pit in the Old pit workings which was not being worked while Nellie Pit and Richard Pit were.

I believe that there had been or was a partnership called New Ingleton Collieries which was legally distinct from New Ingleton Collieries Ltd- I am just not sure.

The new pit was called Grove Pit- I left that out.

The Three Foot Seam (sic) was also called the Yard Seam (sic)- coal that came from it was called Yard coal or Three Foot coal or steam coal that came from the Three Foot seam (sic). In the book, the capitalisation is consistent whether this is industry standard I don't know as this is the first time I have attempted to do collieries. The Lancaster Guardian 1934 wrote
A new seam, the Yard Seam, was being developed...

New Ingleton Colliery

New Pit was the colliery's name at the time. The first shaft was indeed a new pit.

rod -> road

tubbings->tubbing

Sinking No. 1 Pit recommenced is a problem as it was sunk to the lower Six Foot coal but on the way down they found the the missing Four Foot and Yard seam that they had expected to find when sinking the early No. 2.,

There is more to be added about the technique used to work each seam, how coal-cutters were operated by compressed air then electified and wikilinking to articles to clarify- but not today. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 12:20, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
