This channel is based in the North East of England ( UK ) and documents our explorations of both the underground and above ground workings of abandoned, and sometimes operational mines within areas such as the Northern Pennines, North Yorkshire and the Lake District, sometimes a little further. We now and again throw in some caving too. Our intention is to document these abandoned mines, show how they worked and talk about the history behind them. Unfortunately, due to politics, or the need to preserve the site, we can not always name the mine location. If the location is not shown in the video, please do not ask as refusal to divulge often offends.
THE DANGERS OF ABANDONED MINE EXPLORATION :
****
Abandoned mines contain dangers for which equipment and training are required. Hazards can include false floors, open shafts, low oxygen, poisonous gases, collapsing or rotten structures, explosives, flood risks, bacterial infection and of course, rock falls. NEVER enter alone, ALWAYS thoroughly research your destination, ALWAYS alert a third party to your plans and timings. STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.

Reminds me of the time i was a kid . Exploring the local woods for ruins of old tin mines in Devon .
Yes, I used to do the same where I came from, but we had no access to the old maps at the time and lidar was a distant dream so probably missed a lot.
I think that we are looking at a collier that ceased work more than 70 years ago. Nature has then done her stuff. What I find remarkable is that if you were there at the time the collery was in operation the location of plant, accommodation and facilities would be obvious to the workers. Now it is incredibly difficult to identify what was where and what it did.
Yes, without access to the old maps and lidar on the internet, would be much harder to find a lot of this now.
WOW, so many pit falls in those woods, pardon the pun! Fab explore. ❤😂👍
lol, thanks, yes, I wouldn’t like to go through those woods in the dark.
Very interesting video friend thank you and please keep the great videos coming friend.. From Scotland 🎉🎉😊
Cheers, thanks Iain :)
There's an old shaft on the hill near my area, walked past it a few times. Has a low fence around it and danger signs.
I've been down a few pits over the year while they were working.
Know enough not to risk an old mine.
Yup, I font go near old shafts unless I’m srting it.
Been looking forward to watching this 👍
Hope you enjoy :)
Fabulous and a big thank you for keeping history alive 💯💯💯👍👍👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)
Thanks for part 2 guys really enjoyed it 👍
Hard to imagine a colliery this old used computers.
But that piece of glass is proof they were using "Windows"* 😂
*I am a bit ashamed of that one
But not ashamed enough not to do it
Ooh dear lol. Glad you enjoyed. Back up underground adventures next week with Thor and Binney in the start of a fun new adventure :)
🤣 actually pretty funny 👍 good one! ☝️
Looks to be a really interesting site ( but hard work!). Amazing how nature reclaims everything.
Thanks, yes it is hard, especially after last years storms.
Looks to be very little left of the ovens, I often find the sites quite sad.
True :(
A great little adventure looking at the history Ste when did it close
Thanks Keith, closed in the 1930s.
The badger hole I thought was digging through old backfill they maybe used to plug the drift up.
Good look out, local history shouldn't be forgotten...
And stay TF away from my precious! 😅
Hopefully, eventually open it back up again lol. Yes, we need to do more sites like this :)
Details for the site with the shaft top as I knew it was an early one and had to check details haha 😅
1838 - Boring operations from the surface were in progress in the vicinity of XXXX, near XXXX Collieries.
1845, Aug 23 - On Saturday, upwards of forty workmen, belonging to XXXX colliery, were regaled with an excellent supper, at the house of Mr. George X, the XXXX Inn, XXXX, provided by their worthy masters, Messrs. XXXX, of Gateshead, on the completion of their contract for sinking the above colliery, which has been carried down to the depth of 65 fathoms within a short period, without the slightest accident. Great credit is due to the workmen as well as masters for their steady conduct and good behaviour during the time they have been so employed.
Site worked from around 1850s to 1890s.
Worked to a depth of around 330ft and I reckon 15-20 ft diameter actually!!!
@@stemartin6671 Ahh, thanks for the info :)
From Italy 👍💯 ok Ciao
Your welcome :)
Very interesting that is, is such a shame they just let them rot
Yup, if it had been abandoned later, may have saved something, glad you enjoyed.
Go have a lay on the couch there! 😂 you could jump down onto it!
lol, no thanks.
coke does have some weight to it, charcoal is lite. if it was closer to me id be asking for all them trees that have fallen down
Yes, they need to remove them as they will stop growth on the floor of the woods, we were discussing that when there, there are so many.
Where did you find the Lidar maps?
Scottish side by side maps :)
East of England colliers are where
There were hundreds of them.
