Westernhope Old Lead Mine (United Kingdom)


An opencut and levels in the headwaters of Westernhope Burn. The shop outside the main level has been converted for use as a shooting hut and the dump used to make a track to the hut. The level crosscuts to the vein. It is wet and has fallen in as soon as it reaches the vein. None of the other levels are still open.
