Description

Winder at the Magpie Mine,Peak District National Park

The mine is first recorded in 1795, though the site may be much older. At the end of the Second World War a new winder and steel headgear was installed,it's really a ships winch fitted with a diesel engine. Even with this more sophisticated equipment no more large areas of ore were mined, the mine closed in 1954 (information taken from Derbyshire Heritage)

Very nicely framed mining history record using the stone walls too keep the image together
