A 200-year-old 'pristine' cobalt mine has been discovered in Cheshire, northwest England, revealing a trove of personal objects left behind by workers
The mine, which would have been in production during the Napoleonic Wars, was found in Alderley Edge village. It is believed to have been abandoned in 1810, according to a press release from UK conservation charity the National Trust on Tuesday.
Inscriptions written in candle soot were also uncovered, as well as a clay bowl which superstitious miners may have buried in the wall to show their gratitude for a good quality of mineral. Members of the Derbyshire Caving Club made the discovery last fall, the press release said, with specialists researching it ever since.Ed Coghlan/Derbyshire Caving Club
"To find a mine in pristine condition, together with such personal objects and inscriptions, is rare," Coghlan said in the release.
