We've been here before, but using the coal authorities bore hole log maps, it's possible to find the shaft sinking records.
Wolstanton Colliery #3 shaft 547.49m......(located near Newcastle Under Lyme). #2 shaft 1046m (3434ft) Was deepened by the NCB to this depth.
This has to be one of the deepest colliery shafts in the UK.
When you list a colliery, please state it's rough location.

Wolstanton was near stoke Jon, sure past it on m6 one day.
An old friend worked at Hem Heath for a time, and wasnt that the deepest? Sure I remember him talking about the 1062 level...memory could be wrong though

North Selby, Escrick Nr York was I believe 1044m deep. The depths of the Selby coalfield shafts are restricted on the borehole logs, I've heard there are a few which are very deep, even the borehole logs are resicted information, as it was all closed, I'd have thought the restrictions would be lifted.
