Description of Derbyshire Caving Club

 Licence Nº not provided

The Derbyshire Caving Club was formed between 1959 and 1961 from a section of the Orpheus Caving Club after it had split into a southern part (still called the Orpheus Caving Club) and a northern part (which renamed itself the Derbyshire Caving Club).

At the beginning of the 1970s, a few of the members developed their interest in the mines at Alderley Edge by arranging a lease of the mines from the National Trust (in 1969) and re-opening Wood Mine (in 1970).  During the 1970s, caving around Britain and Europe and working at Alderley Edge developed together.

By 1980, the trend continued as interest in Alderley Edge blossomed and a large influx of members arose.  These were mainly people whose principal or sole interest was the exploration of the Alderley Mines.  They became known as the Miners! The membership is now around 70 having dropped in recent years, in common with many other caving clubs. However, there is still a healthy balance between the two branches of the sport, caving and mining.
