Report - Stillingfleet mine in North Yorkshire - October 2022

[rivadis]

Me and some friends (based of a recommendation) decided to check out this abandoned mine near Selby and stillingfleet. While cycling we read several signs about the place, and upon researching, here's a summary:

-part of the Selby super pits that were massive in the 90s, and one of the first to reach 1 million tonnes of coal made.
-Over a kilometre deep, and 3-5k distance underground
-out of use since 2004, except for rare police training drills (lots of bullets around the place)

Thanks a lot, I've just done that. Looking forward to going to more places

Don’t know why, but I didn’t think this was still around! It tends to be quite forgotten about so maybe that’s why I thought it had gone. May have to revisit ( it’s been years!) and see if there’s any holes to go down!

Didn't see any holes to go down, but there's some awesome little details dotted around the site if you look hard enough

You won’t find any holes to go down in old coal mines with shafts…..all capped and or flooded.
You need a drift mine

Should have said look down haha! Do find the occasional shaft that's not flooded though

The place is a great look around. A bit obscene, but there is actually a room full of porn pictures in the bathroom

Yeah, I found the mixture of porn and male and female bodybuilders all together on that wall a bit odd

I forgot about that room
