Over Haddon
|
Over Haddon The small
village of Over Haddon is situated 2 miles South East of Bakewell.
Lead mining has been carried out in the area until at least as
far back as Roman times.Some of the working were over 300 feet
deep. In 1854 a small quantity of gold was found and this led
to a gold rush with hundreds of prospectors rushing to the area.
There was even talk of a railway between Over Haddon and Bakewell.
Little gold was actually found and the company formed to exploit
the findings quickly went banckrupt! |
