Binicliff Mine (Plymouth)

[Dark Descent]

I cant seem to find any records of this mine, so i took the name of the woods that it is in. This Mine only goes in for around 50m and stops where it is collapsed, also suffering a partial collapse near the entrance. the original wooden beams are in place and i believe this was originally a slate mine.

This was also my first underground solo...











thanks for looking

Looks good this

Going solo takes some getting used to but I prefer it now

going solo is not really something i am a fan of but you have to try it at some point though
