Accrington Web - View Single Post - Natural Spring (Water)- any nearby?

Just tried looking on that geological site, mentioned above, to see if there any kind of mapping of coal mines under us. Can't see any marked out but then again I'm not very good at using these online maps. On the older OS surveys there were collieries marked out all over Accrington. The geological maps show only opencast coal mines that seem to cover huge areas of Accy. They don't show the old sandstone quarrys though. The old OS maps show pumps and springs that are not on the geological one...All very confusing for 'a bear of little brain'
