One of the places that I used to walk my dog (before they closed it to do major road works in the valley) used to walk past two old shafts. I think that the shafts might have had something to do with stormwater, but I'm not quite sure. Anyway, these are deep tunnels in the side of the hill, and as you walked past on a hots day you could feel the cold air from the shafts

I remember seeing mine shafts for old silver mines in the area when I was a kid. Same thing - cool drafts coming from within. Thanks for sharing!
