Shallee Lead Mine Works — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1900. Now disused. Pitched slate roof. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with decorative render surrounds, round-headed door opening with spoked fanlight and decorative render surround. Single-storey stone outbuildings to site with pitched corrugated-iron roofs and square-headed openings.

While this house has interesting render window surrounds and retains its slate roof, its main interest lies in the associated yard. The trays with stone cylinders visible in the photographs show the function of this site - the sorting of samples of extracted ores. The rudimentary building to the north-east contains purpose built storage for these samples. This yard forms part of an interesting group of mine buildings in and around Silvermines, including engine houses, chimneys, mines, and workers houses.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
