Odin Gorge at Odin Mine, near Castleton, Derbyshire

Odin Gorge at Odin Mine, near Castleton, Derbyshire
Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group.

This is at Odin Mine (lead) near Castleton, Derbyshire.
This slot-like feature is Odin Gorge, which marks that portion of the Odin Vein which was completely worked-out at the surface, before being extensively mined underground.

Odin Mine is the earliest recorded, named, lead mine in Derbyshire, dating back to at least 1280, and possibly earlier - the Romans were thought to have worked the mine.
