Worked between 1857 and 1877 with the main working taking place in the 1860s.

Workings accessible but controlled, it is possible to travel from the Wood Mine through the Brynlow Mine and the Engine Vein and emerge at the foot of the Edge.

"Wood Mine mostly consists of 19th-century tunnels. It is around 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) long, and 30 metres (98 ft) deep, at an elevation of 160 metres (520 ft)." (Wikipedia)
