Clipstone Colliery operating.
Clipstone was one of the highest producing pits in the country. Over 1 million tons per year were pulled out. The headstocks are now the tallest in the world at 62 m and the shafts were one of the deepest at 920 m.

Clipstone headstocks are the tallest in the world at 62 m. The shafts below went down 920m and up to one million tons of coal were pulled up to the surface by the rare friction winding system which is still on site in our museum of Nottinghamshire Industrial heritage which is run by the Nottinghamshire Mining heritage Centre CIC

20 years on since the Clipstone Colliery closed. Works are now being carried out to fill a huge void below heapstead building number 2. This void is known as the fan drift as it was the exhaust air duct from the up shaft under headstocks number two. It measured 7m x11m x 23m and is now filled to ensure stability of the listed buildings above.

It’s lovely to see that it has having some love put back into it. As a younger kid living there we all used to go in there explore and play games even the showers near the pit stop before they got knocked down for the new build housing. There used to be a challenge for new times to tie a bedsheet to the top. That’s a propper childhood no smashing stuff up just pure exploration and friendship. Thanks for making me smile. S.
The Thatcher burial of our industrial heritage! Mark my words, they will have to return to the massive cosl reserves in the UK. But probably not in my lifetime. Ex miner 80 years old.

Such a shame
Foam concrete isn’t the best choice get a lot of shrinkage
I worked in the shaft there when they had water leaking in it
Absolutely criminal 🤦
I would think the men down below would be well protected, the amount of times you mentioned it , 😅
We should be mining there not hosting events😔
They usually fill the shafts with inert rock, allowing for methane venting and cap with concrete. I remember the large piles of stones they used to fill the shafts at Bickershaw Colliery. Clipstone shafts were quite deep if I remember around 3000ft
At Six Bells, South Wales, they brought a Panzer up and all the buildings went down the shaft on that.
What an absolute waste. I voted for the remnants of the colliery to remain standing but apparently 67% of the vote was in favour of demolishing it.
nothing being demolished, they are listed buildings
Is the shaft filled in before capping?
yes, 100,000 tons of stone went down.
Did removing the cap reveal an empty shaft top to bottom or was it filled in under the cap ?
the shafts are filled with 100,000 tons of stone
@@stuartmills2209Why not use the shaft to put our rubbish etc that would normally go into landfill ?
Why are they removing the cap?
to replace them with more substantial permanent caps
My Dad carried out this work in Northumberland. One particular mine he did was High Pit at Cramlington. Dad described that job as needing the most concrete they ever worked with. He described the end cap as being shaped like a concrete top hat but upside down and plugging into the old shafts.
The shafts where the elevators used to move are fully filled? Is there any chance these will ever be reopened?
Well, the training gallery sign deffenately looks like an NCB Colliery sign. Can anyone give any details to the whereabouts. Please. Did I hear Clipstone? KING CLIPSTONE . Out ascape route frome Warsop Main Colliery ? When I was an 18 Yr old face trainee on 90s and 91s coal faces. ? Any info welcome duck !
I'd like to thank the British government for going along with the shear bull shit of so-called climate warming , distroying an whole industry only for our grand children to say , what the Fu#k was they thinking ?
Used to be our emergency ascape route when i worked at Warsop Main. Before Warsop and Shirebrook joined in the Deep Soft seam.
what a waste of time and money ;; no wonder the countrys f---------, typical british scared industry ,
Why are you recapping it?
the Coal Authority insist
Some things never change with the Coal Authority then... Pecker out 3 feet of existing solid concrete to replace with...3 feet of concrete...🙄
So sad your filling this stuff in, I know the shafts are done, but you’re destroying the place.
I agree entirely but the Coal Authority are carrying out the work as they own the shafts
It's a shame it's all being filled in tbh, they should just pour money into turning the whole thing into a massive tourist attraction, seeing the coal face, riding the train below ground etc. So much potential for many old collieries but instead they just fill them all in and forget about them :/
You realise the shafts were filled years ago, right? They would cost 10’s of Millions to excavate, let alone with flooding heave and collapse there will be nothing left of the coal faces, they will be fully closed up.
@Project 182R it's all under water now, duck. Belive me as an ex miner, it breaks my heart what the government had done, distroying not only the industry but many others that supplied the pits.
good old Cempump doin what they do best 👌👌
Where do you send the bill ,should of been sorted by UK coal
I played at this first game at the head stocks. It is such an impressive site whether it’s airsoft or a guided tour. I hope it gets the investment it deserves in order to further preserve it.
Are they keeping the head frames up .
yes they are grade 2 listed buildings
@@stuartmills2209 Thanks ..That's great news about them being saved ..
The last thing we need is collieries closing with the coming energy shortage. I'll stop burning fossil fuels when saddam Hussein and Jimmy Savile are confirmed as having come back from the dead.
Very sad and very terminal and some day we will regret it ,terminal destruction of our capacity to manufacture ,fuel manufacturing and just a final note in the recent cold snap what did we have to put on stand by ,coal fired electric generation ,the wind does not blow all the time ,we are decommissioning nuclear power stations because of their age ect it will come full circle ,what about our endeavours at Grimethorpe developing clean coal technology ,pulled because of privatisation.
Great little video mate. When did they carry out the removal and replacement of the old shaft capping?
being done right now
Great footage, shame there is not more content like this on youtube. Its amazing what is below your feet and you are unaware of.
