Wilderley Copper Mine (United Kingdom)
The two shafts on the main site have been filled with rubbish. The foundations of the engine shed and office building can be distinguished but the most obvious feature is the cracked concrete reservoir.
The drainage level is in the bottom of the valley to the north. There is a large tip but the entrance has been dammed as a water supply. To the south-west is a small collapsed trial adit. There was an extension of the light railway which ran from the Cothercott Mill and this can be followed for most of its course. It was originally intended to extend this to Wrentnall Mine but it didn’t get much further beyond the drainage level. What appears to be a lower spur line ends suddenly and may have finished because they couldn’t get permission to follow the direct line through a smallholding. The higher course has to perform a loop through a cutting and embankment to avoid the smallholding. The body of an old tipping truck lies by the line here but there are plans to recover it for preservation.
