The Waterfall Collector
What is it about waterfalls that fascinate us? After all, it's just water flowing over rocks. Why do we feel compelled to visit them over and over again. They are all unique, each one is different. Why do we find them enchanting, romantic and even mysterious? These photos are a few of my favourites. More will be added, as and when I take them. Suggestions for more to visit will be most welcome.
Lead Mines Clough
I wasn't taking any chances this time so I had my wellies on!
The earliest recorded evidence of lead mining in the Lead Mines Clough area is from 1690. Though the yield was always small, production continued through the 1700s, finally ending around 1830. It seems that whilst the most productive time was in the late 1700s, this was often disrupted by disputes between the landowners and miners.
