Featuring morrisey, boboil, Gibbo, Manx, detritus, coalboard and carabiner.

Whilst not normally a county renowned for it hospitality (we all forgot our passports and Gibbo had to flash his yorshiremans ID at border control to get us in) today was an exception at our first point of call, Shirleys colliery where cups of tea (no lashings of ginger beer unfortunately though) and slices of growler (thats pork pie for the uninitiated) were the order of the day courtesy of shirley and her sister daphne (thanks ladies)

Hopefully either Morrisey or coalboard might add some information about the mine itself.

Coalboard having a good poke about


On the haulage road looking towards the now blocked adit, notice coal seam in the roof with fireclay below

hopefully ive left scope for some of the others to put their pics up without any doubles.

Onto the second location which must remain secret due to the nature of where it is, suffice to say its a superb coal and fireclay mine somewhere in yorkshire in absolutely mint condition.






No above ground pics im afraid as it may be apparent to some of our cleverer researchers where it is.
