This place has an amazing story, I was interested in seeing this place as it was the deepest and the last deep level mine to close in the UK so it had some history to start, Miners were on site and after asking them nicely they allowed me to take some photographs and one lovely […]
This place is fantastic place; Originally a shadow factory/ bunker this complex is one of my favourite places to visit.

These are built more like air raid shelters and deep level shelters rather than the sandstone and slate Im used to! Different terrains I guess! These tunnels were “prepared” in 1936 to be […]
