A Walk Around the Alport Mines

The two of us met with Tony Wood and five others plus the farmer at Hollow Farm for a walk starting at The George in Youlgreave taking in the old Lead Mining features in the area.
The most impressive feature was Page's Shaft near Hollow Farm which is a very large oval-shaped deep shaft with a very large flat grill covering it. You could hear and see water down below.
After going as far as the hamlet of Alport, we made our way back to The George via the churchyard opposite where some miners who were killed in the Mawstone Mine Disaster in 1932 are buried. Mawstone Mine is about half a mile from Youlgreave and there was a large explosion there in 1932.
