Caves and mines in many cases intersect, and the interface between natural and man-made spaces is both fascinating and exciting; in many cases, new caves (including Titan, the deepest shaft in Great Britain) have been discovered via old mine workings. However, disused mines can be extremely dangerous places to visit, and it is not recommended that anyone attempts mine exploration without the necessary equipment, training and rescue capability.

No-one can (or should) go caving on their own, and therefore most of these photographs would not have been possible without the co-operation, research and companionship of a great many people, and therefore grateful thanks go to the following:

Mat and Niki Adlam Stiles, John Beck, John Barnatt, Bill Briggs, Peter Burns, Mickey Campbell, Max Campbell, Paul Deakin, Rob Dransfield, Jess Eades, Rob Eavis, Martyn Grayson, Peter Grey, Robin Hall, Peter Harrison, Irene Healey, Lee Langdon, Paul Mortimer, Doug Nash, Jim Rieuwerts, Jane Rigby, Les Riley, Adam Russell, Ann Soulsby, Andy Tickle, Paul Trower, Vicky Turner, Dave Williams, Terry Worthington, Paul Wright.
