I used to work down Bickershaw Colliery in Leigh Lancashire and when we developed P71's faceline it was 4,400ft (1340mtrs) underground this was the deepest coalface in Europe. It was extremely hot, dusty and a complete disaster as the roof constantly collapsed. The management were warned by experienced miners not to go so far but all they wanted was the record... Eventually this closed the mine that was over 100yrs old

Yes i worked at Bickershaw pit and i worked in p70's and p71s, i was in the headings driving the tunnels, time and time again the pit manager was told we are going too far with these tunnels, but he wouldn't have it, when we drove the face line then installed the face the weight on the intake side was starting before a cut had been made, it was boiling hot 130 degrees and conditions were hard to work in I lost two stone in weight while driving the headings, the pit would have been closed though, there is not one deep coal mine in the UK now.

I was amazed to see phones, videos, electronics etc in a coal mine. When I worked underground in UK coal mines not even digital watches were allowed. Due to risk of explosion from methane. Only specifically designed flame proof elec equip was permitted. Even aluminium was banned as it gave off a spark when struck.

The national mining museum In Wakefield still doesn’t allow “contraband” underground on the tour, I love being underground and learning about what my family did, my children have all been down too. I think I’ve had 6 trips down in the cage now. I have huge respect and appreciation for anyone who worked or still works in this industry 👍🏼

@highpitwilma 4 жыл бұрын

Mezzler, I worked down the pits in Northumberland and you are correct.. everybody was hand searched for Contraband before being allowed in to the cage... except one Government Inspector who came down Bates pit with the Colliery Manager, in the 1980,s...wearing one of the first generation of Red L. E. D digital watches.. and completely unaware that HE was breaking the law and risking all our lives!.. yet if he had seen my kit kat he wud have had me fined... mind, there was more water than gas down that stinking hell hole.. it was nowt like this!

@0ldw3lshm4n 4 жыл бұрын

Some mines were flame free so could take items down.Vast majority were not and even a tourist mine has to comply with safety regulations and they still have to have a qualified manager same as a working mine.

The pit bottom reminds me of Hatfield Main, except for the horse! Brings back memories. In my personal opinion, the best underground tour in the UK is at Big Pit in Blaenavon. Excellent museum. I'd visit this one if holidaying in Poland, though.

You obviously have never worked in a Northeast England deep coal mine..cos miners just went wherever they were sent..no choice whether it was high or low coal...[down to 18" seams],or whether it was wet or dry! Sorry to be a bit strong in my comments..but just being totally honest! I'm trying to imagine what the Overman would say if you asked him..."Is it High?...I hope it isn't wet..."...!! Heh heh!!

Maybe it is the deepest coal mine for visitors, because coal mines are normally morendangerous of gases etc. But there are at least two visitor salt mines in Germany, where you can go down to 800m. In both you even can drive Bike at some events.

About 1.6 miles underground, that's close to 8,000 ft deep, the same vertical distance as over 3 Burj Kahlifa towers stacked on top of each other. That may be almost halfway through the earth's crust. No, not quite actually, the earth's crust is about 25 miles thick.

@@GateKommand Yes, it's deep. 1.6 miles is a deeper mine than anywhere else in Europe, including anywhere in the UK. I remember reading about a few diamond mines in South Africa being up 3. something miles deep, that's incredible, that's a long elevator ride down a mine shaft. You were saying you worked in the coal mines in the UK up until the early 1990s?

@@alvexok5523 I started working down the pit in 1981 when I was 15 years old then finished in 1990. It was the then UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that closed the pits - she hated the working class. I am proud to have been part of the Miners Strike from March 1984 to March 1985! Regarding the deep mines in South Afrika I was told that it is impossible to have one shaft going that deep due to the curvature of the earth. Due to this there would be another one or two shafts with winding gear underground. I am not sure if this is correct but that's what I was told!

@@GateKommand I think I remember hearing about the miners strike in 1984 to 85. But I remember also hearing something about a big miners strike in around 1993. That's interesting about not being able to make one single elevator shaft go too deep under the ground due to the curve of the earth. I know about the earth's curvature of couse, but I didn't know that it affected deep underground elevators.
