I visited the area in 2015 and there is a vast amount of workings and open adits dotted around the valley. -- Geology: the study of rocks & similar substances (minerals n such) that make up the Earth''s surface.

If you can find one on here, look for "all mines with [X] kilometers" to find any others. If nothing, maybe an interesting project for you? New mines can be added by any registered user, but please ensure as I say above they not already there under a different name. -- My avatar is a poor likeness. IP: 88.108.0.21

I visited the area in 2015 and there is a vast amount of workings and open adits dotted around the valley. It may be because it's on MOD land with restricted access. Murton, Hilton and Amber slightly to the west and north are on AditNow and Mindat. Spartylea put a mine plan for Scordale attached to Murton and there is a comment about the army blowing all access points, apparently done in the 1960's. Three links to stuff you've probably already looked at. https://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1267289&sort=4&search=all&criteria=warcop&rational=q&recordsperpage=10 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018773 https://www.nmrs.org.uk/assets/lookinside/BM91lookinside.pdf (pages 107 -133 in the full version) Jim IP: 86.166.99.211 Edited: 25/12/2020 08:19:34 by Jim MacPherson
