Florence Arts Centre, Florence Mine, Egremont, CA22 2NR – Visit Now
Until as recently as 2008, Florence Mine in Egremont was the only deep working mine in Western Europe – extracting red iron ore and haematite found in, amongst other things, make-up. It is now dressing itself up as a centre for cultural activity and participation. Grizedale Arts has been lending a creative-thinking-hand and the result is a mixed use space that seeks to inject new industry – the creative economy – into the area, offering workshops, film and media production, a large gallery space, cinema and music venue. Check it out – you can’t miss it as the old buildings are still the distinctive colour of red ore.
