Stanhope Burn Mine

Out on the moors this afternoon for a breath of fresh air and stumbled across some old mine buildings. This is a treat for a once practising mining geologist like myself, and some research back in the car proved productive.
The mine apparently dates back to the early 1800’s working fluorspar until the late 1970's.

The extra was a shot back down towards the mine. Must come back.
