There are extensive workings, notable for the large packwalls used to support the roof after the chert beds had been removed. The last company to operate the mine (Smiths Runners) also manufactured davie blocks for building, and continued to do so on site up to about 1995. Much of the surface plant is still on site. I love Holme bank Chirt and make pretty regular visits every few months. The mine itself is like a maze with passages forking off every few hundred yards. 2 While walking about my torch batteries started dying and after a couple of hours I'd gone from 6 torches down to two and decided to just get out 3 4 5 6 no idea why lightroom decided to add a sig to this pic 7 8 And the above ground workings 9 10 11 Website:- http://www.Paul-Powers.co.nr Flickr:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/paul_powers Email:- [email protected] pincheck  Location: Scotland Gender: Male  |  Re: Holme Bank Chirt Mine, UK <Reply # 1 on 10/11/2012 5:11 PM >   Nice pictures Paul Tenebrae  Location: The Wild West Life's short; eat dessert first.  |  Re: Holme Bank Chirt Mine, UK <Reply # 2 on 10/11/2012 6:12 PM >   I like the underground photos (especially #4); do you have more? paulpowers  Location: Manchester, UK  |  Re: Holme Bank Chirt Mine, UK <Reply # 3 on 10/11/2012 6:44 PM >   there are more from other trips down on my flickr page http://www.flickr....72157629350424337/ [last edit 10/11/2012 6:45 PM by paulpowers - edited 1 times] Website:- http://www.Paul-Powers.co.nr Flickr:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/paul_powers Email:- [email protected] Nelly Urbex  Location: United Kingdom  |  |  Re: Holme Bank Chirt Mine, UK <Reply # 4 on 10/11/2012 9:34 PM >   This is sweet Paul My Blog......... http://nellyurbex.blogspot.com/ Facebook...... www.facebook.com/NellyUrbex UER Forum > Archived World > Holme Bank Chirt Mine, UK (Viewed 307 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
