This is the only surviving example of a kent colliery, and is looking in an increasingly bad way in recent times.
They're still un-sure what they want to do with the buildings, so at the moment they stand there empty, a monument to the sites past use.
All the mine shafts have one of these on them, there were 3 in total, this one was the shallowest, the deepest was over 900metres making Snowdown the deepest colliery in Kent.
Not a lot to see really, but a nice way to spend a couple of hours, and quite a laid back explore as the security people patrolling were actually fine with us being there
Please ignore the quality of these pics, it was over a year ago and I was still getting used to the camera!
