This small colliery was driven in the late 20th century to work a proven 150,000 tonnes of coal reserves from the 4ft seam. The mine is worked on a number of headings that come off the main haulage level, these headings run for a few hundred feet with the method of support throughout the workings being props and bars.
Who knows - with the spiralling price of crude oil about to smash the $100 brl mark, good old “king coal” could well be making a comeback and raping some green belt land near you sometime soon.

Visited with the usual suspects.

Proper bo that is.

Absolutely stunning mate, it looks seriously muddy down there.

Hands and knees job as well?

A wierd set of rail works going on there, wheels within the track rather than on top ?

Lovely set of pics Stew, we might see some of CC's effort's if he can tear himself away from his DVD.

some absolutely beautiful colours captured down there!

I've seen photo's of rails with wheels inside the tracks somewhere before, but cant put my finger on it!
