Hemerdon mine (plymouth)

Okay, I thought I did this report a while ago, but its not on my profile and I haven't received a message saying that it has been deleted, so here it is.

I'm not sure when the mine was first constructed, however i do know it was put out of action in 1944. It is known to be one of the worlds largest tungsten deposits and is soon to be re-opened.
I visited this place last year but apparently i haven't posted the pics and that's what's coming now.

This is the old site office, which is now being taken back by nature.

the warehouse, in each of the trays there are lots of rock core samples.

What seemed to be a small workshop on the outskirts of the warehouse.

No idea what this structure is but it looked like some sort of silo.

The sign "Danger Keep Out" does the exact opposite of the intended purpose, wouldn't you agree.

Thanks for reading.

Looks interesting but it's not really underground

the category said ,mines and quarries so i thought i would place it there...

Moved to Industrial as I think it's more fitting there.

Would it be Ok to stick some further pics up from myself on this thread? Rather than start a fresh one for the same place.
