Manifold Valley, Staffordshire from Ecton Hill
Ecton Mine was a highly profitable copper and lead mine for the Dukes of Devonshire, providing funds used to develop and maintain fine buildings like the Crescent in Buxton and Chatsworth House.
The mine went deep underground, well below the level of the river bed, so water had to be pumped out. The building on the hillside, top right, was the pumping house in which was situated one of the very earliest steam powered pumping engines in the world. There are many shafts dotted around Ecton Hill, and spoil spreads down the sides to the valley floor.
The Ecton Mine Educational Trust has a study centre just in front of the building with a little spire - a 1930's folly, built long after the mine had closed.
