Bateman’s mine shaft in Lathkill Dale part of the English Peak District is under the ruins of a house that was built to cover the shaft in the early 1800s by the then-owner of the mine, James Bateman.
The shaft entrance was used as a water-powered pump to drain the nearby lead mines of water.
These days the house is in ruins, but the entrance to the mine shaft is now open to the public with a short metal ladder that allows you to climb down.
There is even a metal lever that, when turned clockwise, lights part of the shaft up, but to be honest, it was not that good, so I used a flashlight.

I video wildlife in the English countryside and anything nature related I find on my travels. I try to create and upload a few times a week.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.
As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.
Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
