Description (or HER record listing)
NEHL - A drift radiating from Hamsteels Colliery was located in this field near the village of Quebec, previously Cliffords House. The drift was one of three utilised by the owners of Hamsteels Colliery.
Unlike the iteration to the west, it doesn't appear there is any remains left, though it is in a wooded area so there is a possibility.
