Hi poosticker83,

You may be right but it claims the photo doesn't exist when I click on your link and Hudeshope East doesn't appear when sites in the general vicinity are shown, there is a photo by sparty-lea of Racket Gill lead mine but that's of a 19thC mine shop.

If you can access the photo can you put it up directly on the thread? Perhaps one of the admin types will know why the mine has been expunged!

seemed it hadnt uploaded properly Jim, it should be viewable in the album now.

racketgill lead mine itself is indeed further up the hill, in the hush itself, this seems to have been a much later concern judging by the 'furniture' lying around ear the entrance.

Damned if you do, and damned if you don''''''''t.

Thanks poosticker83,

Needless to say it's hard to be certain but PeteJ and sparty_lea seem to have your view as well so I'll put onto the historical archive for Hudeshope. Can you send a gr when you have time as I wandered up the Beck until I was opposite Hudeshope West and there was nothing evident up to there, so it would be good to know how unobservant I had been, or how much further I should have trundled.

Ta,

It looks like I was about 200 yards shy of where I needed to be, another visit when the vegetation is down a bit, but at least I had time to go up Bleagill as well.
