Hosting a trip for a small contingency from up North it was time to access the elusive winding station and find the entrance to the mine. The day got off to a bad start after chickens had been routed by fox and I'd had to decapitate injured ones at 5.30 am. Party arrived and we set off to a few local locations before going to said quarry. After initial mooch We finally found place which accessed winding station and the mine. Low batteries, time and lighting conditions drew this visit to a close but the entrance to the mine was stunning and still had the old railway track and point switches. The winding station was rewarding and worth the wait - albeit for a few shots. Watch out for part 3. On with the pics and enjoy- and yes I was playing with my new toy
More kit left in the main engine shed
And somewhere around here was the entrance - or was it?
Finally we found a slightly wet way in and voila - the winding station
Not huge amounts in here but what there was I loved. You dont see many doors like this
Not sure what this was used for
And finally the winding mechanism
