Geotag Icon Show on map

The actual mine was located on the eastern bank of West Beck, but there are more remains on the western bank, the base of a bridge which one carried a tramway still remains. Tramways converged here from mines in Coombs Wood, Hollins Wood and Carr Wood then crossing the river to the calcining field.

Adjacent to the bridge base is a waterwheel pit clogged with mud and debris, and the remains of a building.
