- Hello! Eh Up! And how ya Diddlin!? In this weeks video we are exploring the incredible Jugholes mine on the outskirts of Matlock in Derbyshire. Jugholes mine was worth the wait, as I’d been wanting to do it for some time. I wasn’t disappointed either! These places really are incredible, the fact that they were worked at all is astonishing. I really hope you enjoy the video. Cheers, Steve ❤️

That one was close to home - I grew up in a former mining town, gold mining between about 1894 and abrupt end in 1929. The Depression hit and they just shut the doors and left, all the gear and everything left in there. Open adits, stopes and even main shafts scattered around town. Those very narrow sometimes slanted passages like the one near the end of the video were created by miners following a vein of ore. Horribly dangerous conditions, which led in part to the birth of the union movement in British Columbia, in my hometown..There used to be tours given of the main entrance and blacksmiths shop in one of the biggest of the mines, just fantastic - but then lawyers got involved and that ended as well. Anyway, another great one, well done!
Thank you very much. You know what, I’d love to go stateside for a noseh! Because there is so much in the U.S.A, that is properly in the middle of nowhere, I’d love to do that.
Nimble fingers getting this out so quick. Nice intro too. When the rain forces us underground, it does have its advantages !
Cheers Lord Langham! Thank you for your great guidance, you will be doing plenty more mate. Yeah this took me about 6 hours to do. Incredibly the video only took 5 minutes to upload to TH-cam, a record for me for a video over 20 minutes long.
Great video Steve, a very easy 28 mins on the x-Trainer with this, some gorgeous colours in that stone. Honestly there is more history, heritage and life lessons in this than a young person will get in a week's worth a schooling, excellent noseh!
Thank you very much Lord Beers, Earl of JOOP, Archbishop poney tail, gavin peacock lol
I love me a bit of toad in the hole! My Grampa was from mining stock. Was an engineer for the RAF. Moved all over the place for work (as military do), even around Leicestershire.
Thank you very much! Yeah I love Toads, very inoffensive creatures.
Nah then, ey up me duck. Hope you're well fella.
Really enjoyed this one, very interesting.
Ay a good'un me owd 🙂👍
Eh up buddy! Thank you for watching Sog! I’m very pleased you enjoyed it, and I hope you are very well m’lad.
"Who cast that rivet?" My thoughts exactly.
When you think Steve, there's a load of mine workings right underneath our feet where we live (my house is over the pit bottom), it would be great to access these
Great video
Me n you need a flux capacitor!
Nice little explore Steve...😃👍🏻
Cheers our Eddie! I’m very pleased you enjoyed it.
Nice one fellas 👍
Cheers me ode beauteh!
Should have had some pasties with you Steve, very brave well done.
Cheers buddy. It was alright in there to be honest. We only do the parts we are happy with. You wouldn’t get me doing owt extreme, or the lads for that matter. Yeah a nice Cornish pasty down a mine, gonna have to try that one day!
Tha wants to get tha sen a decent torch with an high CRI emitter for this sort of video, it would show the colours in the rocks tons better.
We actually do have good torches, I think on this occasion the settings on my camera weren’t the best they could be.
Those scratch marks look like loads removed marks. A tally of rock or ore removed.
Cheers! They could well be actually. Nice one.
Thanks Steve 👍 It is humbling when you see the conditions miners worked in.
. incredible people 👌
@@h.bsfaithfulservant4136 thank you. I know, deeply humbling, some of those spaces in those mines are terrifying
You have to remember that back in those times it was the poor who worked in god awful conditions to earn a pittance , the stature of the average working man was small and more often than not malnourished and thin little more than skeletal. This is also the reason the shafts and access are dug so low in height and width.
If you want to visit a few more mines, I live here in Matlock and know loads of them, let me know if you’re up for it me ewd 👍
Thank you. They are all over the place ain’t they! Wapping mine is one we will visit in the future.
Heyup there Picker! Tha’s gettin’ a bit cocky these days when folks offer you an explanation! I love your videos mate but please, please, please don’t become one of THEM TH-camrs who make content about a certain subject and get to believing they know the lot without any real learning. Aside from that mate, your videos bring a good bit of a smile to mine and lots of other’s faces of a Sunday evening! Keep up the great work! Not just to Steve but to the whole gang, you all make it special.
Cocky when offered an explanation, where? But thanks for watching these videos. And eh, I don’t know the lot! Not at all!
