Ecton Mines

A group of mines on Ecton Hill, Staffordshire, are unusual for the Peak District in producing predominantly copper rather than lead and zinc. The most important, Deep Ecton mine, has been mined since the Bronze Age, and in the 18th century was a major producer of copper, and the deepest mine in Britain. Mining below river level ceased in the 1850s, and all production stopped in the 1890s. The mine is now a significant educational resource, managed by the Ecton Mine Educational Trust, and with teaching provided by the Ecton Hill Field Studies Association.
==Location and Geology==
Ecton Hill is a historic mining area at Ecton, formerly a group of important copper producing mines in central England. It is now a scheduled monument. It is located in the Staffordshire Moorlands area, where the valley of the river Manifold cuts through Lower Carboniferous limestones which have been subjected to folding and faulting during the Hercynian and Alpine orogenies. There is locally intense hydrothermal copper-lead-zinc mineralisation, unusual for the region in its inclusion of substantial quantities of copper.〔Ford, T.D. 2000: Geology of the Ecton and other North East Staffordshire mines.
