Exploring the Rich History of Magpie Mine: A Journey through Derbyshire’s Industrial Past

Apr 04, 2024

Join me on a virtual afternoon walk to Magpie Mine as we soak in the rich tapestry of Derbyshire's industrial past. Experience firsthand the echoes of a bygone era and the resilience of those who toiled in the lead and zinc mining industry. Magpie Mine is more than a site, it's a living testament to the spirit of the past, preserved for the curiosity of today's explorers.

The Magpie Mine in Sheldon is a well-preserved disused lead mine in the parish of Ashford in the Water, Derbyshire, England. Five lead mines are enclosed by a walled enclosure that is listed as a Scheduled Monument. Industrial lead mining has a long history in Mid-Derbyshire, dating back to the Roman era. Today, Magpie Mine stands as a popular attraction for those intrigued by industrial history and the Peak District's heritage.
