A MINING enthusiast has built his very own 150ft ironstone mine replica in his back garden.

John Wiggins has spent years making the perfect 19th century model in the farmland at his home in Skelton Green, east Cleveland.

Despite being located just 15 feet underground, the mine deceptively feels as if it is hundreds of metres below the surface.
