Boulby Mine, a potash mine in the North York Moors
National Park, was built in the 1970s on the site of a former ironstone mine.
The site and produces nearly a million tonnes of potash a
year, which is used mainly in fertilisers. It is Europe's second deepest
mine - one mile below the North Sea, where there are 600 miles (1,000 km) of
roadways leading to the potash face.
An Old Wellie called Luke Tayler managed to blag a trip down the mine last year with his father who is a mineral expert!
