Huge fractured blocks have fallen across the opening, leaving several dark gaps beneath the rock$ Closer view of the collapsed mine entrance and jumbled sandstone blocks. A narrow, rusted metal strap or bracket hangs from one of the central blocks, possibly surviving hardware from the mine workings
