Magpie Mine - 18th October 2025

Rather than a sunrise this morning, there was a brief pink-ish hue to the sky

Collage of old leadmine, engine house and yellow alpine pansies/white leadwort

Info board tales of murder at the mine as rival miners smoked out others and the victims' widows put a curse on the mine

Impromptu evening wander revealed a rich leadmining history with a Cornish twist, alpine pansies and spring sandwort which love lead, tales of murder, a curse ....all topped off with a pint of Moonshine....Abbeydale, not homebrew!

Marvellous Magpie Mine

I was hoping to get some drone photos of the mine buildings this morning, but it was waaaay too windy to risk it. There was a good chance that my drone might have ended up in Sheldon.

A photograph of a sunset with buildings in front. The buildings are in complete shadow, there is no detail, only black silhouettes. They sit in height order from left to right. The first building appears as just a gable roof with one chimney either side. It then extends into a long rectangle. The second building is a tall chimney that gets thinner as it goes up. The third building is the most detailed. An old mine building it rises up as a rectangle, becoming a point where the roof used to be. On the left of the building is a cylindrical chimney. Just below the former roof's point is a window that reveals there is nothing more to that part of the building than that wall. Behind the three buildings is an almost clear sky with one line of dark grey clouds sitting just above the horizon. The sun has almost set leaving a layered sky of dark blue, grey and finally gold with the sun just sitting behind the main mine building.

I was taught "shoot dark, edit light" because over exposed images are harder to fix. I'm not sure if that's completely true but I do it anyway. Here's a photo where I decided I'd stop at the first part of that advice.
