Went to the in laws for their diamond wedding and while there we went into an old mine nearby
it has been shut since about ww1 but is still solid

by a air shaft that has been filled with bricks

some bits were wet, it was the water that caused the mine to shut
UserPostedImage

there were air doors and walls as well as curtains to help the air flow

some timbers were getting a bit squashed

or just droopy!

air in here is good
over the road can be bad - we were very out of breath so left early, as can the other big one nearby
dont have a detecter but could do with one for exploring the other 2 mines there
