Thrang Quarry old level 2

Rusting mining equipment and a slate retaining wall in the side of an old level into an abandoned slate mine, adjacent to the active Thrang Quarry, Chapel Stile in the English Lake District.

The abandoned mine worked beautifully figured green slate - mostly waterlain volcanic tuff of the Seathwaite Fell Formation in the Borrowdale Volcanic Group (Ordovician).
