A cobalt mine that was abandoned in the early 19th century has been discovered in Cheshire.
The archaeological discovery in Alderley Edge, which is believed to have been abandoned around 1810, has been described by The National Trust as a "time capsule" of personal objects and equipment.
Items left behind by workers include leather shoes, clay pipes, a metal button from a jacket and a piece of machinery called a windlass, which is used to shift large weights and raw materials.
