Hope Limestone Mine [Pathhead]

Disused Limestone Mine in infilled former quarry in what appears to be a deep shakehole on the northern edge of Screw Wood, Hope Farm.

At least two visits c. 2003-2007 (possibly during Foot and Mouth lockdown). May have been confused with Pathhead Mine (Magazine Limestone Mine).
