Working on the Strontian Main vein for barite in the 1980s. This obliterated the workings of the Middleshop mines. Officially described as the Strontian Barytes Mine. Now reopened as an aggregate quarry with the current name (Bellsgrove Quarry).

NOT to be confused with the nearby, but different, Bellsgrove Mine and (now filled-in) Bellsgrove Open Cut.
