Description: | This ironstone (haematite) mine opened in the mid 1800s and ceased operating in 1968. A set of sea walls was erected between 1888 and 1905 to protect the workings. Here the headgear for the main shaft and the small wagons that took away the ore can be seen. The system employed here used Cornish beam engines. | Subjects: | Steps Ironstone Mine Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | not known | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
