Asfordby near Melton Mowbry was one of the last 'deep pits' in the UK it closed in the late 90's and was soon demolished, the railway track around the site is still occasionly used for testing trains recently the Virgin Voyager trains but the most fasmous being the nuclear flask test, im sure we all know the one where the train plows into the flask at 100mph
after getting into the exploring lark this ones one of my first as id passed the site before hand and been intrested, made many visits usually with my dog
some kind of sub station
the test track
remains of what i eventually decided was a mk3 escort a 4 door ghia to be precise
lots of chavs on knackered scooters buzz around and the odd scrambler by the looks of it
me and the pooch
some steps in the middle of some woodland
some old graffiti
some of the old machinery
not really alot to see here
