Yeah no probs. I've moved into a grey Portakabin round the back of the factory but further along from where the Eco unit was. Kettle always on.

Aiming to be there. Surprised, only one photo for Belgrave on the site?

There seem to be two entries on the database for this mine:

http://www.aditnow.co.uk/Mines/Belgrave-Lead-Mine_19889/
and
http://www.aditnow.co.uk/Mines/Bell-Grave-Lead-Mine_16774/

with most of the photos uploaded to the latter. Which is the correct spelling?

Thanks Skimble.

Shown quite far apart on the map as well. Same mine, different entrances?

The section of Belgrave (http://www.aditnow.co.uk/documents/Belgrave-Lead-Mine/Belgrave-Mine-Survey.pdf) shows it as extending quite a distance (presumably along the lode) across Bryn Alyn, so probably both locations are applicable.

CPAT mines index (http://www.cpat.org.uk/projects/longer/mines/18005.htm) has a description of the surface features and references Foster-Smith, J R, The Non-Ferrous Mines of Denbighshire (British Mining 5), 1972.

http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/33922/images/BELGRAVE+MINE/

All the above sources (and other references I've come across) refer to Belgrave Mine rather than Bell Grave, so I would suggest that the photos currently associated with Bell Grave be moved and the entry for Bell Grave Mine be deleted.

Don't worry mate if you need to lug it all the way to work first.

David and I will bring ropes and general rigging gear. :thumbup:
