Long-form identifier:

mindat:1:2:49394:8

GUID (UUID V4):

One of the last of the London Lead Company Mines to be worked in the area. The mine worked Lady's Rake Vein, a branch of Hawksike Vein, from Wigrams Level and Jensens Shaft.

The level is blocked and the shaft flooded to the collar but some interesting mineralisation has been found on the dump which is being eroded by the Harwood Beck.
