Post Description

Tony Robinson: 

These are the once mighty Coniston Copper Works, one of the deepest and most extensive copper mines in England. Some of these shafts were started 400 years ago in the time of Queen Elizabeth the First.

History tells us that a brave band of Tudor miners lived and died here to extract the earth's precious metal. Nobody really knows what this place looked like back then. In fact, archaeologists hardly know anything about Elizabethan mines at all. So we've come here to look for the origins of Queen Elizabeth's mine and to unearth the story of the men and women whose blood, sweat and tears helped build modern Britain.

It's a quest which will take us higher and deeper than we've ever dug before, battling some of the most extreme conditions we've faced in 20 years of Time Team.
