A grand day out with Northern Exposure led me underground into this old mineral drift mine in Weardale Co Durham. The drift has been abandoned since the mid 1990s but a fare amount of surface and underground items remain. Plenty more info of Google if you're interested, and see Northern Exposures report for more pictures.
Venturing underground....
And probably the most interesting remains was the ventilation fan still in situ.
