Beans and Bacon mine

The Beans and Bacon mine is a disused lead mine on Bonsall Moor near the village of Bonsall, Derbyshire. The nearest large town is Matlock. The mine was in operation from 1920 to 1925, but workings around the mine date back to at least 1740 and some are thought to be medieval, making it of some archeological importance. No reason has been given for the mine's unusual name, but other mines in the area are called Mule Spinner, Frogs Hole, Cackle Mackle and Wanton Legs so this mine's name is not atypical.
