The Leeds Mine Flood Disaster of 1988 - What Happened?

In this video we look at the story of the St Aidan's Opencast Mine flood of 1988. The River Aire channel collapsed into the opencast mine site, displacing millions of gallons of water into the site. We start at Lemonroyd Lock & Marina on the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal and explore the abandoned section of the River Aire & Aire & Calder Navigation. We venture up through RSPB St Aidan's nature park the site of the old mine and look for the point of the collapse on the river bank.
