following from my disused farmhouse shoot - I decided to visit the neighbouring disused mine too...this was quite eerie too - as there was a couple of burning compost heaps close by - most likely from the local farmer...
you can also see different views of this elsewhere in my flickr photo stream...

An interesting set - doesn't look as if it's been closed that long. What did they mine? It doesn't look like coal

Looks very interesting although I guess a little dangerous to wander around......nice shots

cheers guy - yeah, there's more info on the mine here -
Ramble & Blast -essays

I didn't think it was reall that dangerous as I didn't go underground etc - tho, there was some burning piles of compost which I suspect belonged to the local farmer, I was more concerned about bumping into him!

Ahh, fluorspar - there're a couple of mines just down the road here. Thanks for the link - interesting

Nice set of shots, pity there's so many now lying disused.
