One of the most fascinating is this one, showing a camera survey down #7 Shaft at Langton Colliery in 1999. Water can be seen pouring into the depths from one of the insets, as the shaft was flooded to below 180m from the surface when this was shot. Now, they state that all of the insets are submerged, as the water has now risen to 65m from the surface, a level they maintain it at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Diy8Q3Yzgg0 IP: 86.130.144.65 Edited: 26/09/2020 19:59:51 by Blackcraig1

The cameras are lowered down to and into the water, then beneath it to the bottom of the shaft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFR7yTEaovk&t=333s IP: 86.130.144.65 Edited: 27/09/2020 19:29:34 by Blackcraig1

The quality was excellent. Something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRNmhxISOMQ but with some big lights on. Sadly my technical skills are lacking. IP: 31.54.230.35
