In this explore, we venture into what, at around 600 years old, is believed to be the oldest mine worked from level in the North of England.
Unfortunatly, the origional mine was almost destroyed by later operations in the 19th century.
What remains shows the sharp contract between 2-- and 600 year old mines.
We also clear out material to allow us to re-enter blocked workikngs.
Enjoy the video and stay safe, from UKAME.

Enjoy the video and stay safe. From UKAME.
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.
This video SHOULD NOT be considered instructional or used for navigation within this mine. Video is for historical documentation and entertainment only.

Very nice. Full of history.
It is indeed, we need to get through that crawl at some point.
Some brave chaps there!
If you do say so yourself ;)
It's my alter ego lolol.
😂👌
The early miners _and_ their workings are jointly referred to as 'The Old Man' in North Yorkshire tradition I believe.
Yes, it's the same here in the North Pennines :)
Some extraordinary sights. Do you ever come across small in situ deposits where you can see veins in place! I’ve never actually seen galena like that, before the lead or fluorite was worked out. It must have been quite something to see!
Yes, we do, but often do not show them, unless in very remote mines due to people wanting to come and destroy the vein :(
Good one.
Thank you! Cheers!
Sounds like a good work out in there twiggy mate haha
Yep, quite good :)
What a workout boys. Mine reminds me more of a cave..
Ya, good little workout. All wet mines will grow such features over time.
Gagh! Some truly claustrophobia inducing moments there!
Funny thing is I suffered from claustrophobia before doing mine exploring. If you don't like tight spaces, you'll cringe at the next video ;)
@@UKAbandonedMineExplores It's the crawls that lead to a dead end, with someone behind you that are the worst! The chapter Earldelving in Alan Garner's The Weirdstone of Brisingamen nearly has me in tears with horror every time I read it (set in the West Mine on Alderley Edge)
I'll look forward to next week, then. I shall be watching in sunny Sunderland!
I have a great fear of heights, especially when there are steep drops beside me but, since starting mountain walking, I'm slowly conquering it! 😊 Another great, colourful and yes, very claustrophobic mine! Well done to you all.
Ooh, not far from me. Yes, had that happen, ya just wiggle backwards, if guy behind doesn't shift, the release of gases from last night's curry will incentivies ;)
Yup, sometimes I still get vertigo near shafts. Funny that because we will be going up and down shafts in some upcoming videos :)
I miss going potholing! Used to really enjoy it but nobody is up for it these days
I've never potholed in my life :)
A camel eh? Certainly no cow to be seen🤣 amazing to think the earlier workings were picked out by people who probably looked like Baldrick from Blackadder!
Yep, we think we know where it might be, you'll notice we didn't enter certain sections, but that maybe answered in a future video ;) Actually, people in the 1400s were shorter due to diet.
