Situated to the north of a small village, it was a popular haunt when i was about 15. There used to be ladder access but on a visit 10 years later this appears to have been removed along with what was a decent site being trashed. You can just make out the edge of the frame of one of the beds at the bottom of the shaft.
I'd love to go down but I'm just too wimpy on my own and i don't have a decent ladder...

Hope this was of help to someone. LL :)
 
The last picture is a triangulation pillar (trig point), they are used as reference points by OS.
 
Shame about the condition. tbh being a 68' closure I think this ones been trashed a long time, certainly was when Catford visited 11 years ago. The tall pipe is the Fixed Survey Meter tube :)
 
i think ive been here, i certainly rember a trig point at one i visited near notts and i rember that bed lying at the bottom of the shaft, really need to start carrying some rope in the car
 
That is in bad shape. Shame you couldn't go down inside.


I did go down once when i was about 15 and full of cider..
From what i can remember there's the remains of a table with stuff on and various bits and bobs around on the floor. I was a bit drunk tho and it was going on 11 years ago..
Really is a shame its been trashed, there used to be a lid with a ladder and it wasn't in bad nick too.
Bloody ladder nicking kids..or pikeys..nearby Newark's full of them.

And yes Matt, it is a mighty big FSM..;)
