Beautiful drone footage of Peak District's Magpie Mine is completely covered in snow on Friday (February 28).

Yellow warnings for snow and rain cover the county.

"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.

"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," the filmer told Newsflare.

Snow frames the Peak District uplands surrounding 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. 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.

Every era of working has left its mark on the Magpie Mine site. There are numerous mineshafts – all now blocked, or capped for safety – so there is no longer access to any of the underground workings. The most impressive features are the ruined Cornish Engine House which dates from 1869, and the adjacent circular chimney (built in 1840 to serve an earlier engine, but then re-used).

All correct permissions etc granted for drone flight.
