Stunning photos show Peak District lead mine covered in snow

Parts of Buxton and the Peak District were blanketed in snow this morning.

And these photos captured by Rod Kirkpatrick/F Stop Press were taken at Magpie Mine near Monyash. It was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire and is probably the best surviving example anywhere in the UK of a 19th century lead mine.
