Facit Stone Mine - Rochdale - oct 2012
 
Visited with Buddah, AndyJ and my son.

Cant find any info on dates or history of the place, but it is well known that the place is a death trap and one loud noise off totall distruction.

the area is littered with mines, facit is a large one worked pillar and stall style. we first visited in 2010 (i think) and sinse our last visit, there is a lot more of the roof now lying on the floor, i wouldnt recomend this place to anyone.

Bloody hell chaps, that place looks dodgy.

I think my choice of wandering around a cave in a neck deep raging torrent was a safer option.
