Top Twelve Meers' Mine
Top Twelve Meers' Mine
The remains of one of many former lead mines in the area. Marked on some maps as "Twelve Meers' Mine" but known as "Top" to distinguish it from "Old Twelve Meers' Mine", which was nearby. A meer was a unit of length of 29, 31 or 32 yards, depending on the time and place, used in the Derbyshire lead mining industry.
