    Watching from Camborne, Cornwall where Holmans were based. I live in one of the terraced houses built in 1889 for workers in the Holmans factory and the nearby Dolcoath and South Crofty mine. Love your channel.

    Yes I very much agree, BRILLIANT Explore! This episode of your trilogies is one of my favorites so far. Can't wait to see what you find with the ROV. PS - you guys do know that us fans are ok with longer episodes right. Just my 2 cents. Cheers.

    Might see you in Aber some day - I pop back to visit occasionally - my Taid used to run Aber Studios until he retired finally in about late 80's (died not long after) probably before you were interested in such things but he had a number of very old - 19thC and early 20thC printing presses still in use right up to the end in fact, as far as we know, his Heidelberg is still in use in Thailand somewhere!

    Thanks for another video. It is nice to see a slate mine and especially nice to find one with 27" gauge track.
    Until I read "The Archaeology of an Early Railway System - The Brecon Forest Tramroad" by Stephen Hughes, I just thought 2' 3" gauge was an unusual gauge, mostly confined to some mid-Wales slate railways.
    But - as a plateway gauge - 27" is known as Shropshire Gauge and seems to have been used for some of the earliest tramroads built at Coalbrookdale and thereabouts. Hughes briefly mentions that in 1797 a 27" gauge plateway was built to link limestone quarries at Cribarth to the Swansea Canal. The Brecon Forest Tramroad itself was built to 3' 6" gauge - that wider gauge had become popular by the early 1800s.

    Nice video, as usual. A slate mine, good to see some artifices, albeit a little limited. I love “exploring”, just had a look back to when I was with you guys last April, so amazing. Need to do more!

    O.K, what is slate & why does it form in limestone & how do you get such thick bands of it? I'm sure it forms horizontally, like at lime regis shale? Do you ever get fossils in the stuff? Thanks

    What I find astonishing about slate miners is the enormous caverns. Slate mines have no natural passages. Every space was caused by removing material.

    dont forget they would have drilled the middle of the face too to give the rock somewhere to go otherwise the blast would have not done much.

  • @jeffreybail353
    @jeffreybail353 6 месяцев назад

    at 1:49 why is that cable poking out the middle of the rock? what is it and why is it as if it belongs to inside the rock

    Love the video .. but slightly disappointed this time ... from the title I was hoping for at least a minute of two of ROV footage ... "with the Rov" should have read "scouting for Rov access"
    Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

    There's no ROV, just "tune in later for ROV". Guys please please please understand that for those of us ONLY interested in the ROV footage, using it in the title for views is more than a little frustrating. I'm done 😥
