Ok all, I have been exploring for a while now after catching the bug when I discovered our local ironstone mines (some of that to come once I have the hang of this).
Anyway I know this has been done to death, but struggle to find places I can take my 9yr old who seemingly loves urbex more than myself, and the world most conspicuous dog!
So a day in Derbyshire yesterday led us to Magpie, Cowdale quarry & Bradfield Waterworks. The weather was stunning & the boys loved it!
Am sure you know the history by now, but in brief its the remains of one of the oldest lead mines from 1795 to 1950 with a wealth of history of conflict & dispute.
On with the pics, apologies if these are somewhat amateur, are all took with a very basic digital!
