chatterley

July 2024 This one had been on the list for a very long time. I finally had the pleasure of ticking it off with @Mr Budge one summer evening last year. After easily finding our way into the vast grounds of the colliery, we made our way to the area where we believed the Underground Experience...

Chatterley has been on the list a very long time, and I've finally gotten around to doing it, taken 2 trips to cover everything though, easily spent 12 hours in there! Only the Hesketh Heapstead and Tub Hall were covered initially, but it's taken me so long to write this, I've been back for...

1. The History Well documented so just a quick potted history here. Chatterley Whitfield Colliery is a disused coal mine just outside the Staffordshire village of Chell, close to Stoke-on-Trent. Although coal mining can be traced right back to the 13th century in the Potteries, the first...

This is a selection of shots taken over the last couple of years with @raisinwing and @MotionlessMike All shot on Canon 500N and massively expired Kodak Portra 400 History Chatterley Whitfield is a disused coal mine on the outskirts of Chell, near Stoke on Trent in Staffordshire. It is one of...

Im guessing you know this one, but here's my take on our "interesting" visit! The history is well covered in other reports like this so I wont go into it. https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/chatterley-whitfield-colliery-stoke-on-trent-march-2020.130190/ A bit late to the party on this...

Visited here with man gone wrong and janovitch. It's a place I have fancied seeing for a while now and even though we did not see it all I was pleased with what I did see. The place is a bit of a mission to do with cameras and fencing everywhere. But it was all worth it at the end of the day...

Been looking through some pictures of Chatterley on my laptop this afternoon and realised I've never really posted them anywhere. Therefore this is now the 31st(!) thread on the place (yes I counted), but personally, it's not somewhere I'd ever get bored of seeing, or being for that matter! I...

"Ughh not another Chatterley Whitfield report" I hear you all say! I'm sure that most on here will be familiar with Chatterley Whitfield and a lot will have given it a visit over the years. There have been numerous excellent reports over the years, not least AndyK's outstanding effort a couple...

The History: Chatterley Whitfield Colliery is a disused coal mine on the outskirts of Chell, Staffordshire in Stoke on Trent, England. It was the largest mine working the North Staffordshire Coalfieldand was the first colliery in the UK to produce one million tons of saleable coal in a year...

Chatterley Whitfield is one of my all time favourite explores ever! It has so much history and character. In 1979 the Chatterley Whitfield Mining Museum opened and it soon gained a reputation of being Britain’s best known mining museum attracting over 70,000 visitors a year. Underground tours...

Visited with @Paradox and @Bigjobs who had kindly agreed to show me around. This was my first visit to the colliery and I absolutely loved it even though they made a very good effort at sealing the buildings off. The "museum" part was luckily still accessible and we got in without any...

Chatterley Colliery Chatterley Whitfield is a disused coal mine on the outskirts of Chell, near Stoke on Trent in Staffordshire. It is one of the most complete former collieries in Europe. As such it has been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a host of buildings on the site have...

We were in the area celebrating @Disco Kitten's birthday and already had a couple of fails under our belt and had been booted out of a school, so on a bit of a whim, we thought we would have a go here. The weather was not on our side and it was booting it down as we headed over to the colliery...

I've admired Chatterley for a long time after seeing a BBC news story on it a year or so before I started doing urbex. However, I'd never really seen the inside and assumed it was stripped out until I saw @AndyK and @SpiderMonkey 's super efforts in 2018. In Summer we decided to visit the...

My Visit After seing a few reports on here and the place seeming to be getting worse i had to go have a look for myself while it was still possible. Thanks to @Saltburndan1971 for showing us the best bits. I wont go on too much about the history as there are plenty more reports that cover that...
