Скачать или смотреть Bollihope Burn, Weardale

Bollihope Burn is a stream in Weardale, County Durham, in England's North Pennines, rising on moorland between Weardale and Teesdale and serving as a tributary to the River Wear. Historically known as 'Bothelinghoppe' in medieval times, the name is thought to derive from Old English or Norse elements meaning a valley (hope) with a bothel or bothy—a simple shelter or shieling used by shepherds.

The area has a rich industrial history tied to mining, particularly lead extraction, which shaped much of Weardale's economy for centuries. Bollihope Burn features remnants of forgotten lead mining sites, including the Bollihope Shield Lead Mine (later renamed Harnisha Burn Mine in the 1970s), where operations involved hard labour in remote communities extracting mineral wealth.
