Ulfstead Mine (also referred to as Stephen's Mine) is an old mine located beneath Ulfstead Castle.
History
During the restoration of the castle, Stephen became trapped in the mine after he had to bash through the boarded up entrance to avoid a collision with some runaway trucks. King Godred's long-lost crown, which was stolen and hidden a long time ago by thieves, was discovered in the mine by Stephen during his time exploring it to find a way out.
Sometime after the entrance had been re-boarded up, some more trucks ran away from Percy and crashed through the entrance.
The mine was once again re-boarded up until Thomas crashed through the blocked entrance after being unable to stop due to some bubble liquid that had been spilled on him. He raced out of control through the mine, bumping into mine trolleys, racing different directions along the numerous tracks and finally splashing through a waterfall and coming off the rails outside a second exit to the mine.
Since then, the mine has been seen to be operational again. Philip was once sent to work in the mine when Dowager Hatt temporarily took charge of the railway, but struggled with the heavy loads. Edward also once tried to sleep in the mine while Tidmouth Sheds was being repaired, only to be awoken by a loud dynamite blast.
