"The Coal Authority has confirmed that records do not show any mining activity in the area but maps dated from 1879 identify a well and a later show a spring."

No mining activity in Ashover? Its really comforting to know that they are the experts on mines. What are all those mine type things then? I wonder why that pub was called the Miners Arms.

No coal but lots of lead. lots of experts, but no-one knows.

The experts will probably be from the county council so we can all sleep easy
