Mine Entry
The Coal Authority has records of over 170,000 mine entries within the UK captured in the National Coal Mining Database from a variety of sources including abandonment plans, geological and Ordnance Survey plans. After 1872, there was a requirement for a coal mine owners to deposit their working plan for the mine with the State when the mine closed. Hence, there may be un-recorded mine entries to which the Coal Authority has no information or knowledge. The layer shows the best-plot position for each mine entry from the information held by the Coal Authority together with any treatment to that entry. Mine entries indicate the entrance into a mine working, for which there are two types: shafts and adits. Mine shafts are vertical or near vertical entrances to a mine whereas adits are a walkable entrance to a mine as shown on plans held by the Coal Authority. Mine entry positions are taken from a variety of plan sources which vary in age, scale, accuracy and condition. These factors determine the accuracy of the mine entry position derived.

Due to the nature of the 1872 law the position is often the only information the Coal Authority has on a particular entry, the consequence to this is that the Coal Authority has no treatment information for nearly 70% of the entries. For clarity, that this does not mean there is no treatment; the fact that most mine entries are not visible at the surface suggests that some degree of treatment was undertaken at some time in the past. The type of the mine entry; whether the mine entry is a shaft or an adit, is indicated in the TYPE field. If the mine entry is an adit then this has a direction of inclination and this bearing from North is stated, where known, in the ADT_ANGL (Adit bearing) field. The National Coal Mining Database, which is based on the records held at The Coal Authority offices in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is updated on a regular basis. This dataset has been extracted from this dynamic database on the date stated and therefore represents a snapshot in time.
