Years ago we heard of the legendary porn mine that had a huge stash of wank mags hidden deep inside. Getting the odd snippet of information here and there, we gradually narrowed down the mines location, and after spending hour upon hour stalking the countryside, we found what looked like an old adit. Parking up in the local dogger's car park, we grabbed our tools, trekked over, and started digging. Luckily the Scotch Urbex Krew (S.U.K.) were nearby and able to offer a hand...

After many hours we broke through as night fell

Once inside I stuck my head down a side road and shouted "Shit a fucking brick, I smell porn!", as the reek of old pornos wafted along with the bad air

Crawling down we soon made it on to the main roadway, untouched for fifty years since it was last worked

With it being half flooded, we headed down another side road towards the modern workings

The reinforced roadway led to a collapse that had to be dug through

12ft of thick clay!

Then we were into the modern workings complete with rakes of tubs

And tools galore

This was all becoming a distraction from what we had came looking for, so when we found this shaft, we knew what would be down it

Only a stash could be at the bottom of this

We came across the sign - Buckfast bottles. The drink of choice of Scottish wankers

We raised our lamps and couldn't believe what we saw. Yes, it was the secret cache of masturbation material. Although it had been well used a couple of the guys still knocked one off. This is what exploring is all about

I always look forward to your stuff - not porn but dark holes.

So the collapses must be more recent, the entrance sealed part too??
That flooded bit. Now, for me wood in water puts fear into reality - no H2S? I've been into flooded wooden parts over this way and it wasn't a pleasant place. Quite nasty in fact..

Methinks this one is in that central zone between the two big cities? I'm quite jealous you have that stuff because around here the coal measures are deep and inaccessible. Opencast mining would sometimes expose bits but even those opencasts are closing now.

I know what was porn in those pics for me and it wasn't the filthy women - the windy pick is a very special find.
Great post as always. Thanks for sharing.
 
I'm amazed. Filled tubs and a blast pick just left there. I'm guessing this is one of the old fireclay mines? I went underground on one in about 1980 or 1981 - they were just about finished then.

Great write-up, by the way.
