Dinkling Green Mine
Ordnance Survey sheets mark a "Calamine Pit" 0.8 km NNE of Dinkling Green Farm near Whitewell. It is not on a vein, but it and other shallow workings in this area appear to have worked small sopps, or pockets of metal in limestone.
About 95 metres to the W.S.W. of the pit is a group of ten workings in the face of a limestone quarry. The complete vertical range of the calamine workings is approximately 23 metres, and forms an interconnecting series of tight passages, inclines and shafts, which makes the deposit very similar in nature to the one in Ashnott Knoll.
