This seems to be a site with a fascinating history, going back to 1881 (or beyond). It is no longer connected to Holman mining and is apparently owned by 'Event Horizon Explosive Engineering'. Some of the history is documented here: https://www.subbrit.org.uk/sites/holmans-test-mine/ There are some excellent underground photos by Ashley Dace also posted in this Geograph square.
