Only a theory butNofold is the name of one of the House coal seams from memory about 1'6" thick - ventilation of these narrow seams were often achieved by using a fire at one opening to draw air through the workings from another; although the extent of the chimney seems a bit elaborate. A good example is at the entrance of Addis Hill level driven through the rock to the Highdelf seam linking up with Heywood Pit - The fire grate is on the right of the level immediately inside the entrance.

Hi Liz, welcome to this great site & forum.
I see the photo doesnt mention Daniel, neither can I find him elsewhere in the site/forum (I've searched both). The only mention of him I can find is as the bride's father in this Marriage Record off the PRs. I presume you've seen it, is this one of your relations ?.

Its perhaps odd then that the Bride's Residence is Hope Mansell/Lea area so not Steam Mills at all, although maybe that's the groom's home not Irene's ?. That said its Drybrook Chapel suggesting the Reardon home is Drybrook area so perhaps Steam Mills.

Anyhow like you I can only assume that Marbry has some personal knowledge thats not apparent to us, hopefully he'll enlighten you. If you click on any user's blue username on a post, the hyperlink shows you that user's forum history. I see Marbry's only an occasional forum visitor so it might be a while til he/she sees your question. May I suggest you email Marbry direct, by clicking on the envelope icon next to the name. This message will go direct into Marbry's pc email inbox so is far more likely to be seen. Also it's secure if you wish to exchange personal contact details etc in confidence, it's not recommended to post such things on the forum.

Hope this helps, good luck with your query.
Jeff.
