Informations supplémentaires

The Honister Slate Mine (which is also known as the Slate Mine in Honister) in Cumbria is the last working slate mine in England. Quarrying for Westmorland green slate has been taken place in the area since 1728. Apart from the mining, it is also a popular tourist attraction in the Lake District National Park. In 1997 the mine was reopened by local businessman, Mark Weir, who redeveloped the mining side - producing small quantities of roofing slate - and by turning the site into a tourist attraction within the Lake District National Park. A 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) narrow gauge industrial railway is used to assist in the slate extraction process.
