- We had a few hours to spare after not being able to get into the Duke's underground canal at Worsley and have been told about these minecarts/minetubs up near the old Hapton Valley Colliery site by some of our facebook group and other monkey Nicki so we decided to get another rescue mission on 😁
We have already donated minetubs found at Hapton and Towneley Colliery's to the mining museum here in Burnley so we think this one belongs up at Hapton where it spent its life underground 💙 - Zábava

2nd 🥈 lol 😆 You lads are smashing the uploads and it’s deeply appreciated. Thank you so much. I could watch you lot on a night in eating a Chinese 🍜 you are really brilliant and it’s clear to see that your confidence is growing hugely and your way more relaxed. You just do your own thing. Big hugs lads 🤗 you’re bloomin brilliant 💙
Thank you 😁 we aim for 2 vids a week at the moment hope we can keep you entertained 🐒🐒🐒💙💙
Enjoy your shopping pal 😉👍
I can't help but watch , listen and enjoy everything that you are getting up to boys
Thank you 😁💙💙
Just read the Burnley Express article from 2019, you guys are legends, what you have created and are maintaining is totally awesome, its a gift to future generations, the environment and nature, as well as the main reason you did this, to remember the poor souls who perished, ensuring they will never be forgotten at the site. REspect.
We have a few ideas for other things we want to do up here in the future to make sure people know the history, be a shame if it was ever allowed to be turned into the rubbish dump it was when we found it. Thank you for commenting
Thank you ~ wonderful explore 💥
Brilliant job lads getting that old pit tub and taking it to the memorial garden.. Just a idea. lads were you got the pit tub from there was some old pit belt why don't you cut a piece and lay it at the bottom of the tub you can cut it to size when you get it there so you still can see the wheels and you can put the coal on top of that. That way you have 2 items that got coal up the pit in the early years the pit tub then later they used conveyor belts to load the tubs from the face. Also the garden looked great all lit up at night you've done a grand job there lads from xminer ste like i said in one of my early comments i worked with a few lads from Hapton valley they came to Golborne colliery after they closed the pit keep up the good work lads like i said you've mining in your blood and keep the videos coming really enjoy your videos ⛏️⛏️👷♂️💙 love all the banter lads typical miners banter 👍👍⛏️⛏️
we thought it was a brilliant idea tbh were going to get the conveyor up and mine some more coal ourselves to put on it.
Love your commitment lads! Thank you .
You three are just bloody fantastic, you will have to do some more research on how they ended up there, brilliant video, and to finish on a very nice touch, the garden you have done there, and I've watched it from day one, people will come to that place and remember long after we have all gone, there is a lIttle clue there, like built by, date , and so on, and its a really nice thing you are doing,
We do want to find out why they are there strange isnt it 💙💙
@@NorthernMonkeys very strange, but it's a fantastic idea to have one in youre memory garden, have a think about a nice piece of polished coal with all youre names on, put on a tree, now that would set it off very nice,
Y'all remind me of when I was a kid finding old things out in the woods. Hands and feet in the mud digging things up lol. Fun adventure.
We always have fun 😁💙
Well done lads, fair braw!
Thank u 😁🤜🤛
shite. I just spit my whiskey out seeing you pull yourself up with the nettle. I scrounger a pair of tub or tram wheels out of the Rother near me. I'm eyeing up a second pair and plan to use large propane bottles cut and flattend out to make shallow tube sides. just need someone with two strong working arms, as I only have my left. lost the use of my right in a roof fall . However I'll struggle on till my diying days.🤔😀😉👍
Sorry about the arm 😥 if you ever need a help with something like that and we can get to you we will help no problem 😁 the nettle stung like a wasp 🤣
@@NorthernMonkeys no worries about my arm, used to it now, min 600mg of morphine helps🤣😂🤣😂 and a strong will. You should see me thrashing hot metal, especially when I miss or a glowing piece of hot stuff lands on me, I can then dance at the same time, oh there's a clue. A sick sense of humour too.😂🤣👍
Now lads, I think those loops would be where they attached chains to each cart, either to link them to move or as a safety catch to stop a runaway
Thank you we wasnt sure 😁🐒⛏💙💙
@@NorthernMonkeys no probs lads!!!
Top video lads. Just found your channel. My gran was the nurse who went down the Hapton Vallery Colliery to save the miners, Maud Waggott. Well proud of her.
You should be proud of her too mate, she has her own flower bed with a tree and we just recently put a deerplay brick next to the tree as when we met one of Muad's family up there she told us members of the family went to deerplay school and we thought it would be a nice touch. Thank you for your comment
@@NorthernMonkeys Wonder if it was my mum you spoke to. I had no idea there was a memorial until I saw the channel. I'll have to check it out. And its only round the corner. Full respect for you lads!!!! Thanks!
Your more than welcome you should defo check it out its beautiful down there when all the flowers are out. We still have a bit to do but we wont stop making sure it doesnt become a rubbish dump again.
Alright lads don't know if you read my post from a day or two ago about the handmade pins I promised you pictures hopefully you get them ruler to give you the size they are amazing hey hand forged so small amazing! also it's Ian wimbles who has them he seems to find some unbelievable things!

Always wore my checks around my neck. but with string that would snap easily if they got caught on anything. 563.
Yeah the string is temporary i just like wearing the tally's 😁
Haha nice one lads. We would of given ya a lift but we’re on our mini holiday campercar tour. In fact I reckon Collette would of just picked that up on her own, I’ve seen how much she comes out of B&M with, when she says she’s just nipping in for a pot noodle 😂
🤣🤣, theres a few more to be dug out 👀
@@NorthernMonkeys soon as we move a bit nearer, don’t be afraid to give us a shout if ya need any help 👍
I just gave you a ring lads forgot tell you my name its ste posted a few comments on your CZcams channel. Give you a ring in few weeks and bring that pit helmet also iv got a clay pipe you can have to see you in a few weeks lads🐒⛏️⛏️👍
hahahah didnt even notice lol, u were speaking to me (Boff) and Bruce today was good talking to you thank you for calling us. We cant wait to wear the pit helmet in a coal mine mate were genuinley honoured, we look forward to meeting you.
I would absolutely love to be the 4 explorer to your team, saves doing it on my own.
Yes I am local 🌍
We have quite a few people that ask to come with us but due to the danger have to say no 99 percent of the time, any explores we open up to the group go in our facebook groups 😁💙
Best way to kill the crayfish is put them in the freezer.
Without your fellas, I would lose "real" history.
But, why have you not got yourselves a trenching tool?
Keep
were still new to digging up mine relics/treasure's and still use our hands and sticks lol. We have spades when we remember them but will get tools more suitable for the work involved
Sorry I can't get them to you I'll get Ian to show you them?
yeah please we would defo like to see them thank u
Why are killing crawfish just to kill them? They are a delicacy here in the U S not unless your going to eat it don’t kill it.
They’re not in the US so what ever applies to the US has no relevance to the UK
Theyre an invasive species here in uk. They do a lot of damage to our ecosystems and overun our native crayfish. Like you have a massive problem with grass carp in the great lakes and many have to be culled. Its apparantly law that if you catch one its illegal to return it to the river and therefore has to be killed.
