Iron Ore Mining on Muron Fell


Lamplugh Civil Parish

  • Description

    "Old & deep mine shaft in the woods at Knockmurton. No.1 Pit would have had headgear and dressing floors as well as a mine office and a direct link to the mineral railway that took the ore down to the processing plants at Workington. The ore deposits were mostly in flats, and varied in thickness from a few feet to 40 fathoms although it often contained irregular but near vertical joints within the Haematite."
