Ison Mine
http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archsearch/record.jsf?titleId=1308652
accessed 081216 Ison Iron mine comprises extensive west-east workings covering some 1.5 km. It formerly covered some 13 adits and shafts. Worked between 1854 and 1877. The alleged track bed of a tramway survives, but is more likely to be a well made road.
