Eckington hall - Mosborough.

Local to us,. is ''Eckington hall'' - Joseph Wells jointly with his brother George, increased their coal business till J. and G. Wells became amongst the largest coal proprietors. When he became very rich, he wanted to build a hall, to be called 'Eckington hall'. Looking in vain for a suitable place in Eckington, so he chose a site in Mosborough, 1871 -1872,. thus we have 'Eckington' Hall at 'Mosborough'. He lived but a very short time at his new hall, dying very suddenly October 6th, 1873.// This property is now given over to private residential apartments.

A 'mono' treatment from 2018,..''Magpie Mine'' is a preserved disused lead mine near the village of Sheldon in Derbyshire, the free to walk about area of five lead mines [but all shafts are sealed],. is a protected Monument.
Derbyshire has a history of industrial lead mining going back to Roman times and lead mining at this site goes back to at least the 17th century. Magpie Mine is recorded back to 1740, after over 200 years of operation, which closed in 1958 and was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire.
