Ishkooda No. 14 and Redding Hoist House

Posted by: Naaman 

Ishkooda 14 (Formerly Eureka 2) was a Tennessee Coal and Iron ore mine on Birmingham's Red Mountain. There are several feet of dirt/debris in front of the portal. TCI sealed the slope with a concrete plug when the mine was abandoned. 1895 denotes when mining began on the site and the 1941 date denotes upgrades or reopening after the Great Depression.

Redding was a 400-feet deep shaft mine that connected to the Songo slope mine. It was operational from 1917 - 1927 and is the only vent shaft iron ore mine on Red Mountain.

The ECHO that this place produces is as impressive as its appearance. YouTube

Out in the woods is a thing. A couple of things.
I don't know what they are. I am not sure I care.
