Access
The shaft lies just in the entrance to the Moss rake quarry and very close to a public footpath. If the quarry is open it is polite to introduce yourself at the site office. They may request evidence of 3rd party liabilty insurance, so remember your BCA card.

At the time of writing, the quarry has been shut down of late by the Peak Park pending appeal so it remains to be seen what happens in the future.

Description
Approximately 80m to the bottom of the shaft, rebelays at ~25m and ~60m. Ginging at the top of the shaft is, at the time of writing, in a poor state. Rest of the shaft is in fine condition, various levels head off east and west. An abundance of fine pick work can be seen on the north wall. Main shaft is choked at the bottom but with strong evidence that it once continued deeper.
