Perkinsbeach Lead Mine (United Kingdom)


Maddox Shaft is blocked and Deep Level is collapsed.

To the east of Deep Level are two open adits and another to the west of these which has collapsed. One of the former led into the bottom of a stope seen breaking out above but it was rather loose and full of dead sheep. Vein workings can be easily traced up the hillside and the next entrance up is a 15ft drop into a small stope. The highest entrance is a short adit leading to a winze 80ft deep, with no way out at the bottom.. These two adits were called Lewis's Exploration on an old map.

The vein can be followed over the top of the hill by traces of opencuts and collapsed shafts. Nearby are the remains of the booster station of an aerial cableway which ran from Bog Mine to Minsterley. Associated with this are two tower bases further north, the second one below a cutting excavated for buckets to clear the lip of the hill when descending.
