Episode One - Engine Vein
We take a 320 mile roadtrip to see some amazing copper mines at Alderly Edge, Macclesfield. The mines are looked after by the Derbyshire Caving Club which hosted this open weekend to show the public around on a guided tour and also granted us their kind permission to free roam their mines for the weekend, which we are very thankful.
Engine Vein mine was worked around 1755, the open work pit is now capped with a concrete slab, but access it through a locked door into the adit and into the mine.
A lot more to come from this series, this is only the start.
Many thanks to the Derbyshire Caving Club for allowing us access to these amazing mines and being such great hosts!
