View this post on Instagram Noticed this mine entrance across the valley while out walking. Hebden Horse Level (or Trial Level) was built between 1873 and 1888, it extended over 2km underground, however when the target vein was reached no lead ore was found (after 15 years digging :o ) so it was abandoned and the Hebden Moor Mining Company was wound up, their productive mines upstream having been worked out #abandonedmine #leadmine #yorkshiredales #hebden #abandonedindustry #derelictplaces #foxglove #deadtree #hebdenmoor #hebdenmoors #hebdenmoorminingcompany #derelictbuilding #mineportal A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Jul 1, 2019 at 6:57am PDT
