Kelly Mine

Kelly Mine is a preserved micaceous haematite mine in the Dartmoor foothills which closed in 1951. Since the 1980s it has been lovingly restored over several decades. The photographs were taken during an openday in spring 2010. The mine has an informative web site which can be found at: http://www.kellymine.freeserve.co.uk/
