One of the most extensive and productive mines in Nenthead, the portal of the horse level being close to the Heritage Centre car park.
Several collapses along the level have recently been dug-out and stabilised by the mine exploration group NORPEX, to whom we should all be very grateful (and helpful?). Their activity has accessed an extensive area of workings in this lovely old mine.
Major veins worked, in Cumbria include:
Scaleburn Vein
Rampgill Vein
Rampgill Cross Vein
Smallcleugh Vein
Middlecleugh Vein
and in Northumberland:(Once over the county boundary the workings are part of Coalcleugh Mine, the two are in different ownership and though they have been worked at the same time they have never operated as one mine.)
Barneycraig Vein
Whitewood Vein
Bounder End Cross Vein
