Hallicar Wood Level (Groaning Tor Level) Lead Mine (United Kingdom)


Driven for some 300 metres from a cliff near the bottom of Hallicar Wood. Its correct name is not known. For a survey by Roger Flindall et al, see PDMHS Bulletin Vol 6 No 6 page 275. It follows some unproductive scrins and may have been a trial of the area in depth or to intersect the Goodluck veins or to test the veins below the Matlock Lower Lava. When first surveyed the level ended within that stratum, but a number of people dug there over the years on the assumption that the level would continue beyond. In the event, it was found to end, still within the lava, after a few more waterlogged metres.
