Rotherhope Fell Mine - Blackburn Level
This is the entrance to what became the main access level to the Rotherhope (also Rodderup) Fell Mine. It was named after the Black Burn, which flows behind the photographer's position. The buildings either side of the stone-arched level portal include the blacksmith's shop, office and stores.

Across valley of Black Burn
The far slope is on the north side of the Black Burn; there a road leads down to a tall buttress from which presumably a bridge crossed the stream, probably to reach the mine workings there. The lone tree on the near side of the burn is at the foot of Inner Gill.
