jayjaybee8: Thanks to all who have worked this out in the past, and apologies to those who sought and didn't find recently. We've retired from GC as we can't get out easily now, so having to archive this old friend. Spoiler it was a magnet under the metal seat around the village sign

Geocache Description:

Puzzle cache.

NOTE THAT THE COORDS ARE NOT FOR THE CACHE, BUT FOR THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE OLD WEST HALLAM COLLIERIES (No.1 and No.2) WHICH WERE OPENED IN 1889 AND CLOSED IN 1931. The sites were then used as screening areas and are well worth exploring, via Newdigate Lane.


The location of the cache can be found in the following:


NHIOS PIYYE OINGE FSOTV UIONI

TNOTN IETTR OERXE TIYGF HPFNY

OTNHE FWIEF ETOTT TNWEO TFW

 


The location is easily accessible, although finding the cache, and avoiding muggles, may be more difficult.

Parking is readily available nearby

 

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com although if you have worked the puzzle correctly, the solution will be obvious.
