not trying to doubt what your saying but picture 5 is the capped shaft and the cages have gone.
Didn't want anyone to waste there time thinking they could get underground from the colliery site not that a visit to Tower would be a waste if time.
Speaking to be bloke on site on saturday he discribed the trips underground exactly as you did even down to signing a methane wavier.
might be worth while finding out if Unity or Pergum do undergorund tours.
Great report Sinnerman, enjoyed reading that and quality shots too :thumb
Nice to see the place so well looked after.
Lovely winding house. And a 7 foot seam! Lucky buggers! You'd be able to stand up when working that and everything... Some of the Little Limestone seams up here are 1ft-2ft... 5ft at best I think (the Busty Seam's 5ft, and what a wonderful name :))
cheers for the comments guys i wrote this as a final summing up of my visits to tower as i'm pretty much done with it now. should have a similar one up for penallta as i'm finnally done with that colliery as well
Nice one Sinnerman – looks like you've covered the site pretty comprehensively. Haven't started to go through my photos yet…
Great report, South Wales is a place I've never explored and looks like it might be worth a visit........
Penalta is so nice, we just got to do the bit underground now finally found a way in at last.
