A short clip on the BBC about the Ecton mines following the offical opening of the restored engine house last Friday:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-27772686 

The openming ceremony wasn't mentioned on the clip but it was done by Francis Pryor of Time Team fame, there's also recently been an archaeological dig around the back of the engine house which found the original coalyard floor and the flues of a later Lancashire boiler.
Follow the horses, Johnny my laddie, follow the horses canny lad-oh!
