Magpie Mine Sheldon 19th century lead mine one of the oldest in Britain djidrone 4kfootage
The earliest recorded workings at Magpie Mine in the Peak District date from 1740, and the mine was only one of several such ventures working different lead veins in the same area. Right from the start, the miners had difficulty in keeping the workings free from water, but by 1824, a Newcomen type pumping engine had been erected on the Main Shaft. This led to the production of 800 tons of lead in 1827 – a record that remained unbroken until 1871.

Magpie Mine near Sheldon, Derbyshire. A lead mine in the peak district.
Magpie Mine is a former lead mine close to the village of Sheldon in the Derbyshire hills near to Bakewell and Buxton and has been mined for lead for over 250 years.
The mine itself is some 727ft (222m) deep but the bottom 160ft (47m) is now flooded. Water was pumped from the mine by a Cornish beam engine which was housed in the stone building and pumped water up to adit level known as Magpie Sough. Water then runs down the adit to the River Wye near Ashford in the water.
The mine can be found at this location on Google maps:

Exploring ▪ MagPie Mine ( 200+ Years Old ) 2019

It Was The Last Working Lead Mine In Darbyshire.
The mine has a fascinating history spanning more than 200 years of bonanzas and failures, of bitter disputes and fights resulting in the “murder” of three miners, and a Widows’ Curse that is said to remain to this day.
Magpie Mine was a former Derbyshire Peak District lead mine (1053ft ASL)
The Magpie Mine, just South of Sheldon, was one of the most famous lead mines in the Peak District and is the only one with a significant part of its building still standing, having been taken into the care of the Peak District Mines Historical Society in 1962. The mine buildings can be seen from the Bakewell - Chelmorton road.
The mine is at the junction of the Magpie vein, the Bole vein and the Butts vein, and was only one of several mines exploiting these veins - the Red Soil Mine and the Maypitts mine lay within only a few hundred metres of the Magpie. The mine is first recorded in 1795, though the workings are probably much older. It finally ceased operations in 1958, though the working in the 1950s mined little actual lead. The heyday of the mine was in the mid 19th Century.

The proximity of other mines often led to disputes, and the Magpie Mine and the Red Soil mine disputed the working of the Bole Vein on which they both lay. In 1833 this led to the deaths of 3 miners from the Red Soil Mine who were suffocated underground when the Magpie miners lit a fire to try to drive out the men from the opposing mine. Three miners were tried for murder, but acquitted. However, it was said afterwards that the Magpie was cursed and it never really prospered thereafter.
Lead-mining was a speculative business with big profits to be made sometimes and huge losses at others, so the mine changed hands frequently. Though the mine was very profitable in the early 1840s, it closed from 1846 to 1868, and when it was re-opened a large Cornish pumping engine was installed in the engine house which is now the major building on the site. However, water was a problem in this mine as in many others and when the price of lead fell the cost of pumping made the mine unprofitable and led the owners to consider driving a 'sough' or drainage tunnel from the River Wye into the mine workings.
