The HIDDEN CAVE In COLOSSAL LIMESTONE MINE ⚒️🇬🇧

Follow us in this third part Documentary exploring the Largest Limestone Mine in Britain and its hidden Natural Caverns !
Work started underground in the late 1950’s ,at its height of production 120,000 tonnes of limestone were mined , before closing soon after the turning of this century !.
The estimate of the total length of workings is over 30 kilometres, covering an area of 1400 metres west to east and 800 m north to south. The mine is divided into five main production areas by normal faults.
A range of aggregate products varying in size from 125 mm to 150 microns were produced to supply industries as diverse as glass making, sugar refining, mastic asphalt, vinyl floor coverings, bathroom ware, fertilisers and animal feed products
The limestone mined also has other industrial uses such as filler or extender in rubber, plastics, ceramics, and adhesives
