Join us on an extraordinary journey as we explore the rich mining heritage of Nenthead, located in the stunning Pennines of Northern England. In this video, we delve into the fascinating history and legacy of one of the UK's most renowned mining villages, both above and below ground.
Nenthead is steeped in history, known primarily for its extensive mining activities during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a bustling hub for lead and zinc mining, with operations managed by the famous Vieille Montagne company in the 1800s. The village's mining roots run deep, and its industrial past has left a lasting impact on the region.

This channel is based in the North East of England ( UK ) and documents our explorations of both the underground and above ground workings of abandoned, and sometimes operational mines within areas such as the Northern Pennines, North Yorkshire and the Lake District, sometimes a little further. We now and again throw in some caving too. Our intention is to document these abandoned mines, show how they worked and talk about the history behind them. Unfortunately, due to politics, or the need to preserve the site, we can not always name the mine location. If the location is not shown in the video, please do not ask as refusal to divulge often offends.
THE DANGERS OF ABANDONED MINE EXPLORATION :
****
Abandoned mines contain dangers for which equipment and training are required. Hazards can include false floors, open shafts, low oxygen, poisonous gases, collapsing or rotten structures, explosives, flood risks, bacterial infection and of course, rock falls. NEVER enter alone, ALWAYS thoroughly research your destination, ALWAYS alert a third party to your plans and timings. STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.

Great video, takes me back to my underground exploring days when I was regular visitor to Nenthead and its mines.
Thanks Scottey, glad you enjoyed, plans for more of these :)
That's just left me speechless and what can I say is your videos just get better.
Definitely a place on my 'To visit list' These places do make me think about what we consider a hard day's work to what they went through. Plus what we take for granted today or consider to be luxury, they wouldn't of had anything like.
Thank you again and please keep up the amazing work and stay safe
Cheers Anthony, got more planned :)
Amazing video friend thank you 😊🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Another excellent video, thank you. We've walked that area many times and toured the inside of Smallclough, my first proper underground adventure. Time to have another visit I think.
Your welcome, that was my first one too :)
This was proper like you'd see on the telly! can really see that you put a lot of work into it and I think it's a brilliant overview of what the channel is all about (quite literally with the drone footage as well lol). I'm a sucker for a good documentary and considering how big a part of our country's history mining is I don't think there's anywhere near enough on the subject so thank you for continuining to add to it.
@@treepotato9273 Thanks for the feedback, yes, it was a lot of work, plans for possibly more. I could have gone into lots more detail but it would have been hours long lol.
I'm pleased to see these history videos , without your content I feel all this would be lost .
Thanks Alan :)
Enjoyed that, thank you. Pity i live so far away.
Thanks, yes shame, but we can give you a nice tour with this :)
This is tv documentary quality narration & filming without a doubt, even down to the music choice it's just perfect. Enthralling story of the history from beginning to end. Well done Steve your hard work has paid off! 👏👏👏👏👍❤❤❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was superb. So much history, protected and restored, for all to marvel at. Wonderfully narrated, with excellent photography, to keep any viewer enthralled, from beginning to end. This channel, deserves all the accolades, if ever that was presented. Gentleman, - you should feel proud of yourselves.
Glad you enjoyed it. Could have gone into much more detail but thought would be way too long :)
Excellent video! Really well made and so interesting. Nenthead is definitely going on my 'to visit' list.
@@KERNOW08 Thankyou for the feedback :)
That was excellent, really enjoyed it, love the drone footage😊
Thanks Louise, glad you did :)
Thanks, a most enjoyable explore!
Your welcome, thanks for the feedback :)
Great video Ste
Cheers Keith :)
second theory is the best one
Yup, I'm going with that one too ;)
Excellent video, i must visit there one day.
Thanks Robert :)
Slightly different explore but very very enjoyable
Cheers 👍
Cheers :)
Great, was up at this place a couple of months ago. It was shut. I walked around taking photographs but a women came out ànd told me to leave. I explained that i was only taking photographs. She replied that i might fall and hurt myself. How did we manage to conquer half of the world.
Wow, that's strange, never had that happen, and it's a public footpath up there. Yup, don't forget next time you go to wrap yourself in bubblewrap just incase! ;)
Health and safety gone too far!
Just think back what safety did these miners have, very little to today's standard
Was she very small and dressed all in orange? - if so she lives in the mine and is one of the elves and safety people.
Interesting, thank you ❤
@@sheilan6235 your welcome :)
The opening at 14:53, in the late 90s I visited this mine with my dad and brother, before it was made into a museum, me and my brother crawled into the opening of that and it opened into a cavern. We visited again when it was a museum in around 2004, the tour guide opened a door from inside the mine into this cavern and showed us inside. It could have been an old escape route but I can't remember what the tour guide said
Yes, we have been in the rear section, it's quite large, and connects through to Rampgill and Smallcleugh via raises and sumps. We got in via Proud's Sump, around 55ft down. Will have to do a new video of that place some day.
@@UKAbandonedMineExplores yes that would be a great watch! When we went the opening wasn't as shaped as that, it was more long and flat like an oyster shell. I was only 8 or 9 when we first visited so my memory could be wrong.
We used to travel from Teesside all around the dales to visit old mines and to find fluorspar in the spoil heaps.
@16:47 In The Mines of Alston Moor there's a map that calls the unnamed one by the waterfall "Force level", doesn't seem to go very far though
Hi, yes, I've seen a map, no, it doesn't, very much not worth the risk of trying to get through.
Very interesting. My relatives were lead miners here in the early days then kept moving westwards to follow the work. Your assistant's theory about compressing miners may be correct; think about the size of Snow White's friends.
Lolol, glad you enjoyed :)
Interesting you call the conduits 'leets'. They would be 'goyts' where I grew up.
This layout of mines and the double valley makes me wonder if it were not these workings that Thomas Armstrong based the setting in 'Adam Brunksil' on. There is a brilliant chapter where the main character is led on a walk up the valley exactly as you did and I could swear most of the features are similar to say the least. Well worth a read if you haven't. At least for the mining parts.
Yes, called different things in different regions :). Not heard of that book, may have to have a read.
@@UKAbandonedMineExplores Armstrong was more famous for 'King Cotton' and 'The Crowthers of Bank Dam'.
Physically I suspect the 'East Side' and 'West Side' mines he describes in so much detail in Brunskil were meant to be setup around Mucker and Keld in North Yorkshire--he almost gives directions to the place if you walk from the Settle to Carlisle Railway. However physically... As I say, watching your video was quite eerie for how closely it mirrors the fictional layout.
Its a good story, but... Arrgh... You do have to loaf your way through the typical 'historical novelist' material along the way!
I wonder if those large timbers and remains of an arch are from the waterwheel? It must have been some operation. Some very large scale ore processing going on it appears.
They very well could be, they are huge timbers.
✨🏴✨😳✨😱✨.
squashed miners are definately preferable.. My dad was a miner. he was 5 foot four
lol, yes, some pretty small ones in these mines.
✨🏴✨🥰✨👍✨♥️✨🤗✨.
I wonder if the cavity and adit opposite were water levels used to drain the mines?
Tis possible :)
@@UKAbandonedMineExplores gotta be worth a look over that wall built at the cavity entrance 😉
So much industrial archaeology, but so much toxic detritus!
Yup, a lot of pollution gone into the river from that valley over the years.
