A Few Days in England - Christmas 2006The Magpie MineMagpie Mine, SheldonJust above Ashford in the Water is the small(er) village of Sheldon. It is surrounded by disused mines, mostly lead mines. In some cases, there are only piles of rock left but the Magpie Mine was one of the last to remain operating and much of it has been preserved. It is a cold, bleak place, high on the hills, and is a favourite photograph when covered in snow. Unfortunately on the day of our visit we were faced with the cold and the wind, but not the snow.
