Middleton Mine, Derbyshire-Jan 09

85 Vintage · Feb 15, 2009

I put this in Misc Sites because I couldn't gain access to the mine. I saw the tunnels and the area around them on the Hopton side when I was looking at the quarry next door.

There's a thread with pics from inside the mine and some info here..http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=4628&highlight=middleton+mine?

All three tunnels have been well secured now. If it's not bricked up, it's welded to within an inch of it's life

It looks the same as when I went, drop me a pm if you want more info on how we got in. Wouldn't recommend going alone though.

I mentioned to kaputnik about having been and said I thought I saw an entrance, told him where it was and he told me how you got in and out

Sounded painful so glad I didn't try on my own :lol:

Some great bits and pieces there...love the silos and dust extractor. Really like the little remains too. Cool 'leccy brick. :mrgreen:

It's good having a look round somewhere that at first glance doesn't appear to have much left there. I quite like my pic of the greyey/blue dark bit of rock.
