I've always loved exploring around this spot, purely because there's always something new to find whenever I go there.
Outdoors, the winding wheels still exist and still turn (in the wind). You have to climb through a gap in the fence to get to these structures properly but a majority of the residents living opposite don't seem to mind the people who will park up and have a look.
This is the winding wheel directly by the fence you have to climb through - as you can see the paint is coming off and the metal is all rusted but this just adds to the level of decay and makes an impressive structure look even more impressive.
I then went inside the main building to have a look around. I've visited this site multiple times but this is the only time I've ever managed to get inside because pretty much every entrance is bricked up.
I'm not gonna lie, there's not a great deal inside here. It was just nice to actually be able to get inside after trying for so long.
It is quite impressive though, and you can still se all of the winding gear that would have been used when the mine was still in operation.
I hope these images are good enough for anyone who decides to read this report, if you have any questions about the location don't hesitate to ask and I'll try my best to answer!
