A very interesting tour of a Welsh coal mine, now a UNESCO site.
We had to wear lamp with battery etc - weighed 5 kg down the mine.
The canteen and the food is fixed in time and place. I had cod and chips.

I can assure you that coal mines like that still exist today in many places and I have been underground often and it is always like that. I am surprised that they only have two canaries usually there are dozens. Was it a bord and pillar mine and how far underground di you go? Also did they have a wash plant?
Not many of them still exist in Wales where there are more mines as museums than there are working mines.
The mine shafts were held up with posts and wood on walls and roof. We went down 90m.
What is a wash plant? We saw where the miners showered.

look forward to your answers for vwebster76

Hello Pat, As you can see Iam popping up here and there.
It used to be that Women could not go down the mine due to bad luck tales, however non working Mines dont count I guess.
I have already told Julie I love the Helmets.
