Site of Redmoor mine
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 29 Apr 2015
A part of the extensive site which was once the Redmoor Mine. The mine had more or less closed by the 1880s although sporadic reworking continued up to 1943. But commercial interest in these old mines has not gone away. The Redmoor site has been the subject of recent investigation into whether there's anything worthwhile still here. http://nae.net.au/projects/united-kingdom/redmoor/
