A small mine located near Bohetherick hamlet, although the shaft’s grid reference is indicated, no visible remnants of the workings remain. There’s a historical record mentioning ‘Bazeley’s Ore’, which returned 1,177 tons of copper ore during 1838-1842, as noted by Phillips & Darlington in 1857. This record potentially corresponds to this mine, suggesting its past copper extraction activity.
