Just a short one one on "the old girl"
This is the second visit ive had here,still so impressive!sadly its falling to the very last of the metal thieves,and kids who think its "cool"to smash up things,a great shame...there is talk that she will be pulled down soon...and that "neibours"class it as a eyesaw,even though this place made their village,deep history can be found on the net...

I did like finding this helmet and ear defenders berried under a load of ruble and soot..

It was great to have a re-visit of this place, coming back here made me feel like I was returning to the scene of a crime as this was one of my first ever explores way back in 2009! The place is more trashed now both disappointingly and unsurprisingly!

It was great to meet some new explorers as well!

Anyway, here are a few of my photos...

Getting there before sunrise was worth it!

maaaaazing, sorry we couldn't join you!!!

need to go here soon, both sets of pictures are great!

Gotta get my arse here. Nice one :)

i worked in clipstone in 2008 and passed the mine to and from work it is a place i would love to have a look round

You really should go and see it, coming along the road and then suddenly seeing the massive headstocks...an incredible sight!

Nice pics both of you? Ooh I need to climb that!
Thanks for sharing!

Nice work,would get some great views from the top of the headgear.

Thanks for the replies!

Apparently, the barbed wire on the stairs has only been there for 6 months or so - I know people who've climbed to the top!

It was great to go back and see it before it finally goes altogether :(
