Allenheads Mine (Beaumont Mine), East Allendale, North Pennines, Northumberland, England, UK

The most productive mine in the orefield under the Beaumonts and subsequently the Weardale Lead Co., who started working the mine in the 1940's for fluorspar.
The British Steel Corporation began the re-opening of the mine in 1969-70, under the name Beaumont Mine, but by 1983, although all the equipment was still intact, pumping had ceased and the mine was at a standstill.
