Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.

Engine House reflections, Cononley Lead Mine

View this post on Instagram

Sadly the sun didn't come out, but I did see a little blue sky in the distance. Apparently the ground is bare due to its high acidity. The spoil heaps are quite extensive because after the inclined plane was completed on the other side of the engine house most of the ore from the mine would have been brought to the surface here. #cononleyleadmines #cononleymineenginehouse #refelection #spoilheap #acidsoil #greysky #leadmine
