hi firbeck colliery has been done many times by many explorers but now its time for a final update the explore was done today en route to pick up a dog crate from a local seller i couldnt get any further than the path to langold woods as there is security fencing everywhere and it looks like...

I must admit I saw Hughie D's superb report on this place and quite fancied it myself. So me and Janovitch and man gone wrong were out and about and popped in here. We ended up spending far longer here than we expected. Their was several buildings to see here. I actually went back a few weeks...

I’ve just got to Firbeck Colliery and in addition to the main building now being demolished they’ve blocked the last buildings off with big piles of dirt. Now the insides of the buildings are totalIy inaccessible also security with dogs on site

Explore: I have been to this location many times as it is local for me. little remains of the Colliery now, just the remains of the pit baths and the power house. the main focal point of this explore has to be the amazing graffiti, with a lot of work by Coloquix along with other local artists...

The constuction of Firbeck Colliery began in 1923 by the Firbeck Main Colliery Company Ltd with the sinking of the two shafts, mining began in 1925 on the Barnsley Bed Seam, this seam would end up been the only one worked by Firbeck in it's rather short career. In 1934 the Firbeck Pit Head...

Firbeck Main Colliery, July 2016 Intoduction: Part of my quest to seek out what remains of the British Coal Industry brought me here, usually a place like this would be considered too far gone for me to even bother, but the fact that I'm really begining to get to understand and appreciate...

Couldn't find a report on these building's since way back in '08. While it's mostly trashed now and some buildings fire damaged to various degrees I still found it an interesting explore. The Firbeck Colliery was opened in the 20's and then the bath house opened in '33 to improve conditions for...

Explored with Rott3nW00d & Raz; So the last report was killing me as there wasn't one single decent photo out of the lot... So we went for a revisit :thumb History; Firbeck Hall was formerly the home of 19th-century architect and writer Henry Gally Knight who is assumed to have been...

Explore with Raz & a non member. I was considering code naming this Dodgey Floor Galore due to the fact that while exploring Raz ended up waist deep in the buildings foundations looking like he was wading through floorboards :thumb Some of the rooms in this old place look like they were...

Had a look at what remains today, The colliery was opened in the 20s but suffered from Geological problems, the pit shut in something like 1968 and the headgear was removed in 1974 or there abouts. I saw evidence that the winding house at least was still owned by british coal into the 80s, so...
