Apart from the risk of the building disappearing into a big hole, I am wondering about 'geopathic stress' which can cause sick building syndrome and affect the health of residents.

I've already posted on another thread about mine workings, I remember seeing some old maps of the pits in this area, in Accy Library some years back. They might be in storage until they get the archive room repaired.
Dry rot in the roof, now in the walls, English Heritage has their nose in it, so could take years.
