Anyone know if there is any information, books leaflets etc about the Old Iron Mines near Emley Woodhouse? There are over 100 shafts and pits marked over 3 sites.
Geology:
the study of rocks & similar substances (minerals n such) that make up the Earth''s surface.
Minerals:
are the building blocks of rocks. They are a naturally occuring,inorganic, solid, crystalline substance which has a fixed structure. (and some of them are really pretty)

Old mapping has plenty of what appear to be 'bell pits' on the east side.

Also a colliery.

the original references are given at the end, maybe more info there. They would make a cracking photo in low lying fog or snow.

Yes, that's the ones. Great piece of information. Missed the opportunity to capture them in the recent snowfall, have to check them out on a foggy day
