Darcy Limestone Mine photos

Alex Latta is wondering if anyone in the region has any old photos of Darcy Limestone Mine in the Mayfield area or records or accounts left from family members who may have worked there? She believes the mine closed around 1918.

Check out the photographs and other information on the British Geological Survey website.
