Tankerville Lead Mine

This is the entrance to the mine site.

It is not easily found. Walk up the hill from the Pottery towards Pennerly and on the right hand side you will find this single post and small sign. The path to the right to the site is steep and has poor steps down to the site. To my mind it is a very poor entrance to an historical site.

THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE SITE IS PRIVATELY OWNED

Mine in circa 1882
