Ye Olde Minehead

Deep in darkest County Durham, buried in the Northern Penines remains the last standing minehead frame. Groverake mine, a really interesting place to see, explore and incredibly remote. It is also on the lower road of the Northumberland 250, and was originally a lead and fluorspar mine which closed in 1999.

 

I had a truly fascinating visit here, including meeting several photographers and a group of cyclists while I had a cuppa on the road side above the mine.
