Bulwell history I've read most of the site, and ive found out alot about Bulwell.. spring lake,,it seems connects with the old mines...? (the spring just past hucknall airport, you walk through bulwell woods to get to it,) hope you find that interesting..i did.. just found this document online,.. it goes into the detail of the mine i believe.. Bulwell Shonky mine details very interesting indeed. i had to zoom in abit to read it.

interesting.. my parents have always told me there are mine shafts under our house! they dont live to far away from there..blenem(sp? dunno how to spell it, sorry.) their house has had a little bit of subsidance too! theres a thin hair line crack in my bedroom wall! and i suppose there all like that were they live.. near bulwell hall park. (barkers wood i think it's called, i found that out the other day, after looking for bulwell online.) but i didnt know that there was a mine near where they live!, i know next door said there used to be all fields where our houses are, and a farm or two.

61 years to be exact.. my dad was born 1st jan 1947! !! he told me about the bad snow they had that year when he was born. really bad by all accounts.
