Report - Spencer's level. Derbyshire. Dec 2021

[Losttom]

A small exploratory level that didn't find a vein.
Nice to see as the stonework is a bit different.
Photos from a couple of visits as I take people here when doing other mines in the area

It's not very big. Just to the right in the trees near the layby

Yeah, know it. Near-by to Goodluck mine. Just above it, a bit higher up is the longer Henstock level too.

Further up the path is Gells, silvereye and upper cawror too

Wow, loving this, you are making me feel very jealous. Think I'm being a numpty to ask, but the pic with the "dry stone walling" is that carefully stacked deads either side or is it "walling" for the tunnel in a fractured section maybe?

I would personally go for they are to lazy to remove the dead’s , I do own a book mining without Timber that talks of this style though Tom
