Parc Lead Mine - Level 2

A short visit late in the day to walk along part of the 1 mile tunnels of level 2 of Parc Lead Mine. Plenty of ore shutes, stopping, big drops and ladderways.

Thanks Joseph, very kind words again 🙏. Can't believe I left it so long without uploading a video. But I must have needed a break, going underground every weekend for past 3 years I needed a Bit of time with g/friend

Hi Chris, this was definitely a Shonky tour 😁 so much collapse and deep winzes to fall down if you're not careful. Congratulations on reaching just over 1k of subscribers, you deserve way more. Has Tony ever seen this mine as I forget if you've shown him or not ???. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞

[@shonkytours2039]

Thanks Sue, Yes Tony's been, but not sure if he's been all the way to the end of level 2 where it breaks out into Cyffty mines stopes. I'm sure he went down to level 3

Hi Chris Parc mine worked til 1963 , the last Welsh lead mine to close I think Hence the modern air pipes / valves

[@shonkytours2039]

Yes, thanks, I was sure it was worked late but wasn't sure if it was 40's 50's

WOW, im not an expert but that mine looks a bit sketchy! Glad you managed to come out in one piece, very exviting film though, congrats you have more than a 1000 subscribers now & im glad im one of them. ❤😊👍

[@shonkytours2039]

Thanks Carol, very kind words, ☺️ This is one of my favourite mines, it stretches a mile underground and actually continues and connects with a different mine, Cuffty mine but you're neck deep in water for a bit and need a wetsuit! I'll try film it in the near future 👌

[@Carolb66]

@@shonkytours2039 that would be great if you could film that, I've never seen lnside that mine before. Wet suit & a boat for that one. 😄🥰❤

How can you tell if some thing is a false floor ? Can you only tell if you see the timbers or an ore chute cutting through it ?
