Description
".....The monument includes the remains of Myers Head lead mine, a 19th century mine located approximately 800m south east of Hartsop at the confluence of Hayeswater Gill and Pasture Beck. The complex includes a mine shaft, two adits - that is horizontal tunnels driven into the hillside for access to the mineral vein - a wheelpit, the buried remains of a tailrace, a series of well preserved stone pillars which supported the launder used to carry water to power the wheel, spoil heaps, dressing waste, leats, and the site of a gin circle or horse-powered capstan for raising ore from the shaft. The shaft, now largely infilled, is situated on the west side of Pasture Beck....." -
