John Barnatt is an archaeologist and underground explorer, who worked for three decades as the Senior Survey Archaeologist for the Peak District National Park until recent retirement; he has spent many years recording underground workings.
Some places have impressive workings and these have such things as engine chambers, arched levels, deep shafts, underground canals, drainage soughs, and discarded equipment. This book presents a detailed introduction to the underground mining and quarrying heritage in England.
