Ben - why don't you PM minerat - he's going up at the weekend and might be able to organise for you to have a look. There's not a lot to see, but they're going to try and get the loco up so it's batteries aren't damaged. (Pity the charger is under 6' of water) PS I'll send that parcel shortly!!

a great pity that you couldn't get the equipment out, what's happening to the place now then? 😞

dont know whats going to happen now, Gilbert not saying much...dont blame him. but plans are being formatted. Not given up yet on loco, a cunning plan is being seeded, then we will have another go. lots of machinery still on site...make a good mining museum on their own !!

Ah - it's good that you're not giving up on loco, I would give a hand to its recovery, though I can only do weekends really.

regards

Paid several visits to Florence over the years, the first by riding the cage and the shaft before the mine became a tourist attraction and later via the drift and the museum. Sad news indeed.

Any news as to whether the headgear and other equipment is going to be moved/put in a museum?

nothing is going to be moved just yet, I want to see the site as its own museum, it has a lot of material lying around to make a good set up. not given up on the mine yet.
it should never have got to this point.
