Got a sneaky run around the crescent at buxton, opens in 3 weeks, looks amazing inside, got a few snaps before i had to leave.

Glad they kept the ceiling
Did you get to see if the victorian baths had been kept

The wooden ones? Yes, they've been fully restored, look amazing.

Popped back to this little local spot I found earlier this year yesterday, glad to see things pretty much the same although sadly the gun cleaning equipment seems to have gone walkies.

A little pillbox found today near Bacton less than a mile of beach

An average empty house, originally spotted by @Grom but finally checked out by me today as we were in the area. Not much inside worthy of a thread sadly, apart from the strange sight of boxes of old BMW 3-Series parts in an upstairs bedroom o_O

Ladywash Mine, Eyam Derbyshire
Just externals of what's left of this old fluorspar mine. I've seen internal pictures from 2017 where a group of cavers got into the mine itself via an old mile-long 18th century channel. The headstock went along time ago and the shaft is now capped. A few buildings remain including the workshop, a chimney and the old explosives store - all of which are sealed. Hence didn't get enough pictures to merit a full report so popping it in here.

A brief history:

The mine was sunk by Glebe Mines Ltd around 1936 to produce fluorspar, used in making flux for the steel industry. It was then taken over by Laporte Industries Ltd in 1959. The mine operated for two decades before being placed under care and maintenance in March 1979. By March 1986 the headgear was gone, the shaft capped and fenced off. The track was lifted and its twin tipplers removed.

The Pictures:

The workshops and chimney:

A little peek inside:

The shaft:

And finally, the explosives store:

Found a nice little place for a little photo session enroute to a location.. Location turned out to be a flop though.. D: This place was worth a visit itself though, lol..

Sorry if quality isn't the best.. Camera doesn't give it justice..
