Report (Permission Visit) Holme Bank Chert Mine (April 2017 & 2019)

[VaeVictis]

Another retrospective! Have visited this a few times over the last few years, and here are some photos from these trips, including a few underwater ones.

I've classed this as a permission visit as this is on private land - they are happy for people to explore, but a £5 donation is requested if you're parking/ diving and should be paid to maintain access for others. Part of the mine is now flooded, the water generally not exceeding 4-5m. It is however, very cold. Depending on when you visit, the water may be higher or lower, so wait for a drought period for most dry areas.

The mine opened in the 1770's and closed in 1960 as per other reports which cover the history in greater detail.

Thanks for looking.

Good job. Be good to see a few more photos if you have them - you can add up to 30 on a report

@WhoDaresWins is this where we went after sampling some Bakewells in Bakewell that one time?
