Brief and i mean brief exerct of history taken from tut net
Holme Bank was the last of two operational chert mines in Derbyshire the
other being the Pretoria Mine, both at Bakewell. Access was from adits
in a quarry at Bank Top and the steep workings extended beneath the road
to connect with the earlier Greenfield shaft. The chert bed lies on a 1
in 3.7 gradient and the mine was subject to flooding in severe winters.
Illumination was by mains electricity in addition to carbide lamps
carried by the miners.
Pranged my head pretty hard in here by being a twat who wasn't really looking where i was going
