It seems the top-ranking results on Google for "Potosí mine" refer to a silver mine in Bolivia. Even further from Derbyshire!
I get a 404 page not found for that link.Interesting - Brassington is definitely in Derbyshire, I used to live there! I never came across the name Potosi before though.
in order to be associated with the fabulous richness of the Bolivian mine, this provided a lot of silver for the Spanish Empire...
The stone “stemples “ are they unique to this part of the country I no we have spoken about them before , assuming they was working platforms the same as the wooden ones for access etc .
