That archway is mesmerizing!!! I could float on a raft down there for days just staring up at it!

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

This is absolutely incredible!!!!

Coolbeens. Really cool

Brilliant show!

[@TheDamageinc81]

The craftsmanship that went into that archway ... I feel like it's a lost art about to be lost forever.

[@misterp158]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

That stonework is beautiful.

That arch is stunning what work they put into it💕🤗🙏🙏🙏🥰

Fantastic video. Thank you 👍

[@andybmuse]

The stone arch is so beautiful, what a feat of engineering, these videos are so educational and amazing to watch , thanks Alan and Iuean , I will have to join you very soon , please get in touch with me when you go 👍🏻

Hello how are you doing?

[@paigeanderson2483]

The effort going in to finding these mines and capsule of history is incredible! Hats off to you!

[@Tinatortoise]

I didn't realise how little forward movement there was untill you pointed out the roof markings. Amazing! Thank you x

Wow what history Thank you for showing us

The arch is Amazing.... truly... It should be classed as a wonder of the world ..👍👍

[@johncale7139]

Another fantastic video exploration. Well done to the 3 of you. Good move to bring the young lady on board

[@digofthedump]

astonishing work was all the stone from within the mine ? gl

[@unclepappy3823]

These videos are so incredible. Thank yall so much for documenting these adventures & bringing us along.

[@growmiezhomiez8760]

Very cool stone arch hallway. Never seen anything like it. Thank u!

[@espenforfen1334]

Just for interest, you might notice the heavy vegetation within the fenced areas in the background, exclusion of rabbits and deer is quite profound for nature to return.

[@Mike-tv9rk]

You could have walked the ROV down there with you so we could see the underwater stuff . … and the air bubbles coming out of your punctured wellies 😜

[@YorkshiremanInDorset]

Interesting mine. The arch is very reminiscent of the stone work in the north Pennine ore field mines, especially when driving through shale. I find the lack of stopes odd though, a lot of work driving roadways without intersecting any veins…

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Yup, I just pointed out that they are everywhere up here :)

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

You should come to the Northern Pennine mines, those stone arches are in practically every one. Most are dressed stone, but we have a video in a few weeks time that shows one that is undressed, just like many of the stones in that one :)

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

I'm amazed how clear that water was even after your passage. Sweet clean mine. Thanks for taking us with you! I'd love to go on a mine explore with you, but, I'm across the pond, and I be old. I just don't have a lot of energy anymore. Sigh.

[@johnclare1728]

As always. Another great explore. Looking forward to the next party. Thank you.

[@petewebster2977]

The effort and hard work that went into building that stone Arch is incredible. Thanks for showing us . keen for more. Pete Australia 🇦🇺

[@pa5287]

it is a wow time

[@coaxialembryo]

Thank you

[@twin40dave]

Wow the archway should be one of the wonders of Wales , amazing, could you trace back from those initials who worked there and how old they was , Yet again great content great video, 👍

[@rogerrabbit6522]

Great videos as always. You'll have to include waders patch repair kit in your bag, either a puncture repair kit and/or gaffer tape...I'd use both.

[@greenspiraldragon]

Better than square set timber. It never rots.

[@jonnywatts2970]

Absolutely AMAZING! So glad people like you are documenting things like this now. I live in a city crisscrossed by coal mines with no known entrances left. My grandfather worked in those mines. I want in SO BAD! I WILL get in one day. Mark my words!

[@RonHelton]

Arggh! ; )

[@DFDuck55]

Who manufactured the wire rope that was used in this mine? I know that wire rope was invented by German mining engineer Wilhelm Albert some time between 1831 and 1834. Scotsman Robert Stirling Newall improved the manufacturing process in 1840. John A. Roebling began manufacturing wire rope in the U.S. in 1941. Scotsman Andrew Smith had an early patent on wire rope, but I don't know where and when. The whole history of wire rope is confusing, I haven't been able to quite wrap my head around it all yet to figure the exact timeline of it all. --- I would love to hear Ioan's insights on this subject.

[@redsteadyon]

That was ACE, Glove at 11.58 top right...

[@wttburke]

I tried to imagine how such an arch could be constructed without a frame of some kind supporting it until the arch is completed. But you're in a mine. I would love to know how they did that? Amazing skill.

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

They used arch formers, just the same. Our next video shows one still in place. Metal rings with wooden planks going across.

[@tomhorseman9832]

Its actually the result of normal red bricks, being exposed to uimaginable amounts of electrical energy. #Meltology

[@uwesteinki5037]

Amazing as always thank you. Is that arch classed as Furness work ?cheers from Australia.

[@johnsmart964]

Thank you so very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation, the people are absolutely delighted with the way you record this for future generations to see the work that went into opening these mines up. The stone arch is certainly a masterpiece of engineering and also a thing of great beauty, as well as a way of using waste rock. I take it that the water drains through the collapse to make its escape from the mine?

[@thomasstarr9011]

SO GREAT, IN GOOD SHAPE,,,,,

[@michaelpacnw2419]

Any idea what they were mining here? Not sure how far from the original entrance the collapse is, but the government should dig it out and turn that arch in to a national monument. It would attract a ton of tourists if it were easy to reach and drained of water (I imagine it would drain if the entrance were open. Even back then they knew to start the shaft downhill and work up at a slight angle so the water drained).

[@phoule76]

the miners must've cut the stone that size on purpose for stacking the arch; less work than hauling it out

[@ih8018]

Silly question but do you ever encounter rats in the mines??? great video yet again 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rossdtool]

That arch is absolutely amazing and gorgeous, I can’t picture how it was made! Did they use timber frames to construct it? I love your videos.

[@RootsLion]

once u slosh through stirring up all d bottom how longs it take t settle n clear fully

[@81bozzaboy]

What were they mining here? I must've missed it.

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

I have begun wondering how much fresh water these abandoned mines now hold. We are constantly being told how little fresh water is available to certain areas, yet, we have these hidden and forgotten mines that have become storage facilities of huge volumes of water! Is it possible we have an answer to some problems under our feet?

[@iaingwynne4675]

You definitely wouldn’t want to go drinking water out of an abandoned mine especially ones that are full of lead and zink

[@Randrew]

@@iaingwynne4675 True. And while Wales is NOT known for its lack of water, old metal mines are an active concern for waterway contamination. And concern for drinking water quality as well, I imagine.

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

@@iaingwynne4675 Lead and zinc are natural minerals in the ground, and water does not absorb them unless the water is acidic. Using water from mines is how some communities provided water to the people for over a century, and the lead, zinc, silver, and other heavy metals were never a problem. Many water pipes are galvanized, and they are zinc plated to prevent corrosion. And water pipes were also made from lead, or in the case of copper pipes, soldered with lead. I would worry more about coliform bacteria in the water!

Does anyone know how mines like this one were made? Dynamite? Or did men dig this tunnel with pick axes?
