Magpie Mine - an ancient lead mine and agents cottage, now used as the PDMHS field centre.

Mine and Mining Photographs - Hanging Flat Mine

The following photographs were all taken by Martin Long on a recent visit to Hanging Flat Mine nr. Stoney Middleton. Hanging Flat's "claim to fame" is that is was once used by the BBC when filming an episode of "Peak Practice", and some of the stage props are still in situ.

Web Editors note:
I've also heard that the site was used for filming an early episode of Dr. Who. Can anyone confirm this or otherwise?

The left-hand branch is more solid.  The observant explorer will find some evidence of mineralisation and of modern (HE) mining techniques. Note the compressed air pipe on the left.
