Dukes Deep Level Gallery - after conservation work PDF Print E-mail

Dukes Deep Level, one of the Bincliffe Mines near Wetton. DPC members (Ian, Martin and Pete) paid a visit on 5/10/2008 with some friends to carry out the conservation/safety work that was required just inside the mine. More photos to follow soon after work is completed...

(Click on the thumbnails to see the full sized images.)

Dukes Deep Level is on the far left behind the trees. We got the Landrover down to within 50m of the entrance!

Darfar / Dafar
You should be aware that Darfar (as in Darfar Bridge, Pot, etc.) is misspelt as Dafar on OS maps of a certain scale. On larger scaled (more detailed) maps it is correct as you can see on the excellent Magic web site. This map shows the correct spelling and this one the incorrect spelling. (Then of course there's Darfur, which is a place in Africa...)
