What is recorded here

Chirk Castle Mine cut through Wrexham earth during the Post Medieval period, hunting silver and lead beneath the soil. Men dug for metals that could buy bread or forge tools, while the castle loomed above like a jealous guard. The shafts raved against gravity, demanding rope, muscle and breath. What they took, the hill kept, waiting for patience or forgetting.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Chirk Castle Mine as Silver Mine; Lead Mine from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
