These photos have shamelessly been stolen from a website I found the other day. They show the Compton Martin ochre mine up the Coombe. Kids don’t try this at home!
Entry is now via a concrete tube since one of the original entrances collapsed
Pit props in the mine have seen better days
If you know any good stories about the mine, or about bats, please let us know and we can share them with everyone!
Sometimes you have to wonder just what holds the roof up
Add your stuff!
