Pump and Site of Old Lead Mine — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

That Clontarf lead mine bled into history from 1497, sustained by human muscle for three centuries. When the promenade swallowed the coast, builders forced the final shaft into the base of a bathing shelter. Brute pragmatism preserved the wound rather than erasing it.

Shown as 'Pump and Site of Old Lead Mine' on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A lead mine on the shore of Clontarf was mentioned in a list of mines prepared in 1497 which continued in production for 300 years (De Courcy 1996, 80). When the promenade was built the last surviving shaft was incorporated into the base of a shelter on the city side of the swimming baths.
