Minerals : Lead, Barite, Calcite
Working Life : 1871-1940
This mine has also been known as Shelvefield Mine and only produced 12
tons of lead and 58 tons of barite. It is marked by a large spoil heap adjacent to
Shelfield Farm. The shaft is completely
blocked and the engine house foundations are only just distinguishable. There is what appears to be a collapsed shaft
to the west, next to a stone quarry. Old
maps show another shaft and an adit to the east but these have not been located. To the south is a small opening issuing water
but it is not known if this was a drainage level for the mine.
