Couple of visits here. 1st Went with Stoka then a return trip with BA and Scrappy :)

Bit of history
Crisp Delf is a disused sandstone mine in Lancashire, one of a network of flagstone quarries and underground workings in the immediate area. Mining started in the early 19th century. There was also a tram road that ran east from the mine. The tramroad was worked until 1860.

Here we go :)
