I met quite a few of the Troggs my dad was 1 of them, the stories and image a lot of people had/have aren't true, he still has paper cuttings where they were mentioned. Ive been down there myself many times and slept down there too it's a really nice mine/cavern and you can spend a whole day exploring which messes with you a bit when you go in during the day then come out to darkness lol.

Wapping Mine is a great place, we did a full explore a couple of months back. The full tour video is on my channel.

I might of missed them but i didn't see any footage of what we call the wishing well, it's a pool of water thats filtered through the limestone. Also some other chambers named was piano chamber because there's a large slab of rock in the shape of a grand piano and also Queens chamber where you can still see the bracket from a chandelier on the ceiling from when Queen Victoria visited.

@patterdaleminecave3545 definitely there's so much to see and so many passages especially down what we call the maze, i actually have 2 old maps of the workings from my dad and some area's are gone and other's have appeared through rockfalls with Cumberland being a natural cavern.

Great video! Explored this myself a few weeks back, really interesting place with loads of routes around

@@patterdaleminecave3545 You're very fortunate to live there. I'm currently fascinated by the region. My Patrilineal ancestry since 1586 I've traced to the Amber valley, from Crich, to Lea, Holloway & Ashover till the19th century. Now in Sheffield. A very slow migration.

Thats impressive. Wheres the entrance? Also would be good to make a video about the Troggs. Maybe some are still alive.
