Architecture Killhope Wheel and Cottage

Killhope Wheel and Cottage · **1 Like**

Taken on a recent visit to the Killhope Lead Mining Museum. It's a fantastic place - a sympathetically restored lead mine and associated buildings dating back to the 1870s, right in the middle of Weardale's beautiful countryside (about 30 miles from my home).

Quite interesting.

Very cool--I had always thought of Yorkshire and Powys, Wales as being the "lead capitals" of the UK, but this really seems to be a great historical site. I'll definitely try to make my way there the next time I'm England if I don't get distracted by the trout streams in that part of the world.

Love the framing and great colours in the building! Love it

Thank you

When I took and processed the photo, I hadn't calibrated the monitor on my PC... as a result, whilst the colours are about right, it looks a little darker and gloomier than I intended, although not too much... it certainly wasn't a bright, sunny day

I think the lighting is just right.

Lovely photos. Reminds me of photo my two Sisters in law took, when they visited a small town in the Scottish Highlands, north of Loch Ness. It was an old farm (crofters ?) house...a couple of miles outside of the town, where their great grandparents had lived in many years before.

Nice shot. Don't know how I missed it first time around.
