These was taken at Tarmac’s Middleton Mine in the late 70s.
This was taken at Wirksworth, same time as the above.

I never went into the mine Dan but I bet it was an interesting experience. I believe that latterly you could drive right through to Hopton Wood so there must be quite a road network beneath that hillside? I suppose that it is now mothballed, which is ‘Tarmac Speak’ for never likely to reopen again!
