Groverake Mine - County Durham

We took a look around Groverake mine. Lead was mined here from the 17th century until near the end of the 19th century. In the 20th century the mine was reopened for fluorspar and closed in 1999. We took a look in June 2022. For more information on Groverake Mine please follow the links below: https://www.friendsofkillhope.org/gro... https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/g...
