Considered to be the last new copper mine to be tried in Shropshire. Copper was mined here from at least two shafts and two adits. A site visit during WWI noted approximately 8 tons of hand-picked ore - representing the mines total production. Figures available for 1916-1918 showed an average of 15 employees worked this mine.
The remains of which are obvious at the location. The concrete lined reservoir still exists. The track beds for hauling ore can still be made out, as can the platform on which the mine office stood. In the bottom of the valley to the west, the remains of two collapsed adits can be seen.
