Went to the in laws for their diamond wedding and while there we went into an old mine nearby
it has been shut since about ww1 but is still solid

by a air shaft that has been filled with bricks

some bits were wet, it was the water that caused the mine to shut

there were air doors and walls as well as curtains to help the air flow

Wow!!!

But you seem to have neglected to say where the mine is - I hope it is South Wales but fear it is not.
