I never knew there was underground mine workings in Rossendale, I know there was lots of old quarries with lots of railway lines up in the hills, some of which were narrow gauge, but they're all gone now, but the millgate incline is still there at Facit, also known as Halfway. And shouldn't such old tunnels be securely blocked off to stop kids getting themselves trapped down there? After all no-one would know where they were.
Looks like a lot of miners who worked down there must've ended up with serious backache after having to keep bending over so much in those tiny tunnels.
Burnley was built on coal and still was huge cold reserves. If in the future cold can somehow be made clean again then Burnley could have a very good return to economic success with all the jobs and prosperity sadly lacking today.
You and your dad are legends lad. You're very lucky, awesome vid idea
Location 2 looks interesting! As for first, I can see why people would go missing in there (I won't say anymore as to not give the location away).
Amazing industrial archaeology and architecture. The brickwork and props are something to behold!
That brickwork really is fantastic, fascinating stuff!
Brilliant find is that one Clive brilliant video 😊
Always carry a spare torch when exploring places like this.
Nice to find that buddy
very Nice ❤
