Record Name	Long Brae Level
Record Description	Long Brae Level was driven in May 1871 between the Main Chert and the Black beds towards the southern end of the Watersykes vein. Unfortunately Watersykes had little ore here and it was never worked. The level was driven at 42 feet per week which was a very high rate at the time. The level was in excess of 500feet long. The level entrance is not obvious but I suspect the ridge of stones in a line in the centre of image 5 marks the entrance which has since either been sealed or collapsed.
