    Thank you for your video. . I find it strange that funds can be found to look after large houses in vast grounds. . But this counties industrial history is left to rot . . It was the working classes that made the wealth . .

    Such a shame to see it so run down. Hopefully it's fortunes will turn around and it will become the fine museum it once was, albeit the underground tours won't happen again.

    the simulated ones will probably run again, but the real one is flooded and the shafts are capped. the blue shaft was used from 1986 till 1993 for the underground tour which goes 30 ft underground.
