This was the second visit to Clipstone with Mr Royalcameratresuretrovebob.
We were thwarted the first time by workmen at the fence and a digger on the land at the back. We went again and met up with Mr Toby-staple-HDRer and a few other (who's forum names I have no idea of, if they're even on here)
Clipstone was built on the site of an old army camp and started pulling coal from the earth in 1927. It finally died in 2003.
Renowned for its massive headstocks that were built in 1950 to be the tallest in Europe and (possibly) the third tallest in the world.
Anyway, here's some snaps. A bit pic heavy, but I quite enjoyed this place.
