Big thanks to dweeb for getting this sorted and giving us the grand tour with loads of info, this meens i know what i've taken photos of for a change
not a bad explore, just a shame so much has gone now
the headstock, i think everyone that went did the climb to the top, it was very windy
the headstock viewed from the wheel house of the other headstock thats no longer there.
view down the stairs we had to climb.
inside the ventilation tunnel that has been filled.
view of the old shower block and whats left of the covered walkway to the pit
above the electrical stores.
the shower block clean side lockers with all the doors removed.
jackets hanging by the dirty entrance to the showers.
this is where the miners would clean there boots on the way into the showers. note the hand rail, theres a trough full of water and rotating brushes below.
old racks in the clothing supply area.
