BROWNLEY HILL MINE / TYPE OF SITE - / WORKING OR DISUSED - /
PEOPLE IN PARTY [ ] / NOS. OF PHOTOS - 33 / SPECIMENS FOUND
- / COMMENTS - AS 25/5/80 + WATER A LOT SHALLOWER PLUS, THIS
WILL HAVE TO BE THE LAST VISIT TO THIS MINE, DUE TO THE FACT
THAT WHEN WE EMERGED INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD AGAIN, IT WAS
BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION BY ONE OF OUR MEMBERS, THAT A SIGN
HAD BEEN PUT UP AT ONE TIME, (ALTHOUGH AT THE MOMENT THE
SIGN IS LAID FLAT ON THE GROUND) STATING THAT MINE TOURS LTD
WILL PROSECUTE TRESPASSERS ENTERING THE MINE. ANOTHER BLOW
TO SOCIETY'S AND RESEARCH GROUPS FREEDOM.
