Visited this place a number of years ago just for the winding house but left it undone till recently (over a year ago). Wasn't till recently That Cuban brought it back to our minds. So off trotted the three musketeers on another adventure 
.
So there we are first night with Htmnl and Cuban prowling around the place. Its a bit bloody remote place to park at discreetly so apart from the first visit it was 1/4 mile run .
So we roll up get on the site which is a secured industrial estate with static/ motorised cameras and flood lighting . we eventually got inside after a bit of time smiley faces . Only to discover that the placed had sensor activated light 
every bloody room we walked into lit up (some of the lights where already on). This was a nervous experience so we wondered about for a little bit and time was pressing so after accidentally tripping a PIR we left.
Returning a number of times once with Cuban for us to get in and only to hear Alarm go off on another building nearby we decided to leave. Following night with html to find the power had been Cut Place was still lit by security at the main gate with a generator. This is where the fun began So next time Cuban brought scattergun(reliable Mole from Cubans underground stuff). You would think the lights being out would make life easier......... it did not This night was the night of 94mph gusting winds everything was getting done, brought a set of telescopic ladders i had after sussing out a sneakway up the winding tower. So to make sure the ladders remained we tied them off to the platform legging it up the stairs.
Think i have spoke quite enough there is more information on the place Castlebridge Colliery | Canmore
when the lights where on
from the top 94 mph gusts made this a nightmare
security drive bye
Years of miners boots up to showers and changing area walked these steps
Scottish coal and NCB archives where stored here there where loads of information to dig through .....too much
This gave Htmlnangel a bit of a stiffy
winding house
Time for daylight shots
medical center
Think that's enough :roll: have way too many pics of this place was a lot of fun visiting, never to be seen in Scotland again. Sadly had heard the place was heavily hit by Pikeys once security left and the place is a walk-in but a complete mess which is a shame hope they moved the NCB/ Scottish Coal archive material before leaving
