Magpie mine

I've been messing about with my fisheye lens- and what good fun it is!! I highly recommend it and don't understand why I waited so long to acquire one!

The mine has quite a history, a little of which is below:

The surface remains at Magpie Mine are probably the best example in the UK of a 19th. century lead mine. It has a fascinating history spanning more than 200 years of bonanzas and failures, of bitter disputes and fights resulting in the "murder" of three miners, and a Widows' Curse that is said to remain to this day.

It is a great place to take photographs so I will be posting more of the mine itself soon.
