Just looking at the mines database, is this photo not of Leadbitter? I am sure Langley Baroney was slightly to the north. This looks more like the chimney at Leadbitter mine. Correct me if I am wrong please!

That's definitely Langley Barony NY 8266 6591. Leadbitter shaft is nearby (on the same site) at NY 8260 6611. Joicey shaft is further north at NY 8311 6656.
Both shafts are part of Langley Barony.

Don't think there was ever a Leadbitter Mine, Leadbitter Shaft was part of Langley Barony Mine.
