Sheriffs Pit, Rosedale

Its difficult to imagine such a picturesque place once being an area of heavy industry. The pit closed in 1911 but the shaft is open and only surrounded by a fence, a constant rush of water being heard from inside.

The corner of the mine managers house remains standing (although I don’t know for how much longer)

    Just thinking: If you were to turn this into a book or summat, you could do it as a tour type of dealy.
