Greenburn copper mines and associated ore processing works
-
Description
....Despite the ruinous condition of the buildings, Greenburn copper mines remain a relatively well-preserved extensive and impressive mining landscape containing the remains of a wide range of upstanding and buried mining components dating from the 17th to the 20th centuries. These include levels, shafts, trials, water management systems for powering machinery, remains of transportation systems for moving ore, remains of buildings associated with ore processing, spoil heaps, dressing waste and remains of a range of associated buildings. Overall the Greenburn copper mines are important because they contain surviving traces of most of the episodes of industrial activity on the site and enable the relationship of the extraction and processing areas to the industrial landscape that supported them to be well understood.... -
