This Colliery actually stopped production in 2015 it was the last of 3 Pits that operated at the time. The last 2 were Thornsby and Kellingley which closed later in 2015.
Hi Damion, a very interesting video even though you couldn't get in it was still cool just looking about on the outside of the site. I think the dog was a Belgian shepherd or sheepdog. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Bloody hell what a fantastic video, we all know you are not scared, but you must understand when you do things like that some people have to turn away, you did outstanding on you're own again, let us all know what fossils you have found, oh and when you or if you go back take the gang with you, tie a long piece of rope around their waists, with a nice piece of meat at one end, tell them to jump the fence then tell them to run, so now you will get what you want, plus when you get to the top it would make a cracking video of the dogs chasing them, lol reet pal, thanks again for youre hardwork, great stuff.
Good explore, even though you couldn't get in to see the headgear, sure you could talk the guards into letting you in. Though try not telling the dog to attack next time hahaha.
I know the word 😂 ya not scared and ya not nervous. Your just apprehensive!! I think since you did the Collab with Martin Zero, you’ve become very health and safety conscious 😂 Thanks for taking us along on your stop off visit. When you coming home? Or have you left Lancashire now for Yorkshire 😮
I'm watching this video not very far from stairfoot brickworks , i watched them blow up one of the chimneys as a youngster and we have a pyramid brick structure donated by hansons comemorating the brick works , the marine band was visible at the quarry face , probably was a great place for fossils.
Fossils are Carboniferous 310 million years old. Approximately. These sites will be gone soon most in Yorkshire have already been covered. Great stuff.
Cracks in mud/rocks can occur underwater from microbes growing. It does not indicate absolutely a surface that dried out. Septarian stones are an example.
Sure those goons (security guards) could be greased with £20 each! - maybe ask for small donations from those who can spare it? It would be great to see inside. Appreciate the video! I have a massive urge to go out and hunt for fossils now 😁
No they are covered now, we had a look at where the shafts should of been but it was just concrete. There was a hole going down just off to the side but somebody else commented that they were covered up years ago.
@@NorthernMonkeys I was researching it on Google a minute ago, and I was reading that the coal authority capped the shafts then fkd off and left the council to provide security
They have a group that runs the place now, although it looks abandoned it isn't and they run a few events there through the year. They have a Facebook group worth checking out where you can see what events are coming up and they post regular updates as they have quite a few plans for the future.

The back bedroom of my nans house faced that pit. Used to wait hours for the heads to turn.

Will the shafts still be open and uncapped?
