The Lead mining Industry. Its remains in The Peak District.

We visit Lathkildale in the Derbyshire Peak district to look at the remnants of old Industry. The area has a rich history of mining. In particular Lead mining. We visit the remains of Mandale mine one of the oldest lead mines in the Peak district national park. We see lots of old mine adits. Very interesting is how the river Lathkill at time has many goits and mill streams on it. Mandale mine engine house had a Cornish beam engine inside that was used for pumping out the lead mine below. We visit the Town of Bakewell to have an original Bakewell pudding. We see a mine sough a drainage tunnel for Mandale mine and get to look inside. We also see how the Lead mining industry affected the surrounding landscape and see old industrial architecture when we look at the old Engine pumping house. This is a wonderful walk in the UK
