Join us on an extraordinary journey as we explore the rich mining heritage of Nenthead, located in the stunning Pennines of Northern England. In this video, we delve into the fascinating history and legacy of one of the UK's most renowned mining villages, both above and below ground.
Nenthead is steeped in history, known primarily for its extensive mining activities during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a bustling hub for lead and zinc mining, with operations managed by the famous Vieille Montagne company in the 1800s. The village's mining roots run deep, and its industrial past has left a lasting impact on the region.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, an adventurer, or simply curious about the hidden gems of England, this video offers a captivating glimpse into the incredible mining heritage of Nenthead. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more explorations and historical insights!

This channel is based in the North East of England ( UK ) and documents our explorations of both the underground and above ground workings of abandoned, and sometimes operational mines within areas such as the Northern Pennines, North Yorkshire and the Lake District, sometimes a little further. We now and again throw in some caving too. Our intention is to document these abandoned mines, show how they worked and talk about the history behind them. Unfortunately, due to politics, or the need to preserve the site, we can not always name the mine location. If the location is not shown in the video, please do not ask as refusal to divulge often offends.
THE DANGERS OF ABANDONED MINE EXPLORATION :
****
Abandoned mines contain dangers for which equipment and training are required. Hazards can include false floors, open shafts, low oxygen, poisonous gases, collapsing or rotten structures, explosives, flood risks, bacterial infection and of course, rock falls. NEVER enter alone, ALWAYS thoroughly research your destination, ALWAYS alert a third party to your plans and timings. STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.
This video SHOULD NOT be considered instructional or used for navigation within this mine. Video is for historical documentation and entertainment only.

    Its strange but the idea of being in confined spaces is unpleasant. However the reality feels almost.. comforting, safe. You can pause for a moment and so long as nothing is going out under you or coming down on top its peace and quiet everywhere. All the time and the history that has passed while the dark down there was untroubled--Badajoz, Waterloo, Balaclava, Roarke's Drift, Mafeking, the Somme and Alamein... Plenty of north-country miners went off to die at each, but all the while it was quiet and dark in that hole--waiting for them to come back... Weird sensation. Definitely time for a cup of tea and a bit of snap. I am surprised you chaps don't don't take battery kettles with you!

    Spectacular 👍 My dad worked at the Prince of Wales Colliery in Pontefract But only for 6 months He got fed up with going to work in the dark, working in the dark and going home in the dark Then one day the cage he was riding up in collided with a descending cage No injuries and one old timer casually told him "it happens all the time" He handed his notice in the same day with immediate effect
