Mystery Behind Grave of Old Cars
“It was very dangerous because the mine is virtually unstable. Pieces of slate have been falling from above our heads,” stated Gregory.
“We needed to use rope to climb down to the right degree of the mine, the descent was round sixty-5 toes deep, it didn’t sense very cozy in any respect.
“There became some thing so surreal about this exploration, it changed into totally darkish, moist, slippery and really risky. And then you definately see the most sudden thing, a mountain of vintage cars.
“The road is quite dangerous in this area, mainly while wet. It became in all likelihood too pricey to tow motors up and out into the closest town.
According to Gregory the mine opened up around 1836 and closed up around 1960 and has been deserted for the reason that then.
He estimates most of the motors are from the 1970’s onwards and the depth of the mine will be as much as 200 toes underground, probable extra.
