Such difficult work up there mining slate, they worked them hard then, the winter months must have been a real struggle. It looks like they just downed tools! Used to pass an old slate mine on our way to Broughton in Furness.
A stunningly strong image -- the ruins of the past and looking beyond to the cragginess of the hills and the distant land with a touch of sun on the hills to soften the scene . Wonderful Lee -- A big fav
