Not Holme Bank, which I visited back in December. Holme Hall is situated nearby. My historical research into this mine has not gathered many results yet, however it's fairly similar to Holme Bank though a bit more structurally unstable in parts and has less machinery.

Unfortunately for us we didn't cover much of the mine due to a lack of glow sticks (getting lost underground would be a rubbish way to end the day) so yet again another for the list to return to.

Rails... sadly our service terminated at a lovely collapse

Nice split junction, one of several we encountered in our brief trip

One of the larger spaces, note the support pillars
