Shelve Mixed Mine (United Kingdom)


A large spoil heap marks the site of More Shaft, sunk as a trial between the wars. It has completely collapsed. To the north-east is the silted up entrance to a stone arched adit with a long spoil tip, which may have drained the workings. It was open in 1964, when it was fund to be filled to within 30" of the roof with thick grey mud and was not fully explored. An air shaft to the the south-east, on the other side of the track, is collapsed.
