up Black Harry Lane (This lane is part of an ancient Packhorse route)

turning off Black Harry Lane toward Cavendish Mill. Tipping area or old ponding area - for mining waste to our right?

This looks like a pond wall?

Cavendish Mill - British Fluorspa based here. Fluorspar is apparently Calcium Fluoride used as a flux for smelting and also in the production of certain glasses & enamels

pipes used for depositing waste material in ponds?

a long lane down toward A623 Road.- Housely is to west of Lane near it's end.

what type of horse?

looking across at Black hole Mine below Eyam Edge - apparently still operational but no details?

Bulls Head Inn in Foolow
