Ecton Hill and Speedwell Cavern[edit]

Ecton Hill is not close to Speedwell Cavern. Speedwell Cavern is in Castleton. The canal in Speedwell Cavern could not therefore be originally for the Ecton Hill mines, unless Ecton Hill mines was used to describe all of the Duke of Devonshire's mining interests in Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Please clarify. Tina Cordon (talk) 13:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The referenced link http://www.cressbrook.co.uk/visits/speedwell.php makes it clear that the Ecton mines are wholly distinct from the Speedwell cavern <quote>James Gilbert who was the Duke of Devonshire's agent for the Ecton Hill mines and made a fortune there, but at Speedwell eleven years of digging brought little reward before the venture closed.</quote> A fact which is trivially obvious from looking at a map anyway. I have therefore removed the sentence "This canal now leads to Speedwell Cavern".

James Gilbert was involved with Speedwell, true, but I don't have references to support the details. Nickleverton (talk) 13:14, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
