Potters Pit (Potters Pipe, Stiperstones) Lead Mine (United Kingdom)


The main shaft is blocked and a large amount of the tip has been removed as a source of aggregate. This uncovered a small but substantial building which may be the remains of an engine, although it is set back from the shaft.

An adit close to the road is called Goodest (Good as) Tuesday Vein. After a short distance, 3 holes in the floor lead into a stope. Several small crosscuts from the adit are blind and have been partially backfilled. The stope extends horizontally for 350ft and has been descended 300ft to water. It is believed to connect with the Boat Level, which is now flooded. The entrance to the adit is used for watering cows and access is not encouraged.
