White Grit (West Grit) Lead Mine (United Kingdom)
The Grit sett consists of two mines that have sometimes been worked separately in the past but at other times as one undertaking, viz White Grit and East Grit. The whole site has been worked extensively, producing a large confusing area of gruffy ground.
White (or West) Grit Engine Shaft is situated at the junction of the A488 with the road to Priestweston. The shaft, which was sunk on the intersection of the Rider and Dingle Veins, is completely blocked but a reasonable amount of the engine house still remains. The tips have been completely removed for roadstone. The drainage level is in the wood to the south, it is almost silted up but still issuing water. There is a line of air shafts heading north-east, mostly collapsed. One is open and is 3ft diameter with ginging, blocked at 10ft depth. Another just to the east of the road has been filled but this is slipping.
