Beldon lead mine and ore works
The remains of Beldon lead mine and ore works are situated on two levels in the valley of Beldon Burn at Beldon Shield. The visible remains of the mine and ore works belong to two separate periods; the first phase from when the mine was established in the 18th century, through to its closure by 1820. The mine was enlarged in 1805, when a steam engine was installed. The second phase was during the 1860s-70s, when the mine and ore works were worked once again.[1] The remains of the lead mine, visible as a series of earthworks and ruined buildings, are a Scheduled Monument, listed on the National Heritage List for England.
