Blackhill Level

The main drainage level for the Craven Moor Lead Mines. The level, where it has been driven through soft ground, has been drystone arched - a very common technique in 18th & 19th Century mining.

The fool's dam

This dam across Skyreholme Beck was built to store water for a mill. The builder was obviously not a skilled engineer because he failed to realise that a dam built on porous limestone will not work! It has apparently been deliberately breached at some time.

Old mine near Trollers Gill

This was an old lead mine, worked on several levels; another contributor states it was reworked for fluorspar from 1919, as shown on 1" maps. The blockwork structure in the foreground suggests it was worked until at least the 1960's (other contributors remember it still being worked in the 1970s and suggest 1982 as the approximate date of final closure).
