HISTORY
Worked eons ago for iron, abandoned, opened again, abandoned, stored some stuff during WW2 as far as I can make out, taken over by the next door quarry who used to use the water in the mine for their washery, used by divers and now just left.
There is a more concise history but it goes on for ages and trying to pick out relevant points was getting a bit tedious so the first paragraph is the basic abridged version. Ohhh, and a murder victim was found in here by a group of kids in the 1960's ! A lot of the original mine has been backfilled from the quarry - I assume they have managed to top all the original workings there by now.
Visited with wonkycows.
THE VISIT
1. Working out from last heading
2. Leads you to the first lake
3. Pump house
4. The pump
5. Second lake behind the pump
6. Second drive
7. Leads to divers platform
8. And the final lake
9. The way out
Thanks for looking
