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.

Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK Group. View northeast from Bàgh Steinigie between Scarista and Borve, at Nat. Grid Ref. NG 021 940, looking northeastwards over the nameless beach towards Rubha Sgeir nan Sgarbh - the low grass-covered headland in the middle distance. The stretch of water leading into the distance is the Sound of Taransay with the island of Taransay visible on the extreme left. The dark cloud-covered mountains of central Harris are on the far skyline. Taken with a Zenit 'E' on Kodacolor film and scanned from a print.

This nice stone footbridge/packhorse bridge is over the Burbage Brook just to the east of Carl Wark in the Peak District National Park. We are still in South Yorkshire at this location, not Derbyshire. The quarries in the distance are on the southern extension of Burbage Edge, where there has been extensive extraction of the Chatsworth Grit (Namurian) for millstones - see elsewhere on my photostream. This is within the Sheffield city boundary.
