Old mine workings at Gravels in the Hope valley
East Roman Gravels lead mine was also known as Wood mine and was owned by the Earl of Tankerville. The Hope brook carved out a valley which exposed many galena veins and in the eighteenth century, adits were driven into the hillside to exploit them.
Beside the road is the truncated stone chimney of the ore crusher house. Of the crusher itself, only the foundations remain.
