These shafts were used as a clean water source, which was usually less contaminated than other ground sources. They also used them as refrigerators to store ingredients, cooling wort, or fermenting beer
I've linked another video, of a documentary filmed down there, check it out, It's an amazing piece of engineering. This used to have a water pipe 90ft above the shaft which fed water and air to the bottom powering a pelton wheel, compressors and generators.
It's a dream to get down there pal. It's 100m 330ft down on an abseil then exactly the same back up (that's the hard bit) I'm not sure I could make It out just yet, I'm as disappointed as you sorry. I'll be there soon though....I'll send you a message 😂

Absolutely amazing exploring 🥰👍🏻👋🏻👌🤗😍💯
Means a lot, Peter was a great guide fair play.
Fascinating.👍👊
I'd love to get down that hole haha, not sure I've got that many pull ups in me on the return trip though haha.
A very familiar place :)
Jealous you have all these on your doorstep.
Fancy that, me thinking we would get to see the bottom. 😐
D- for this
