The site is now part of the Land Reclamation Scheme for Minera, designated as Area 3. After years of waste clearance, excavation, and structural consolidation, it has been transformed into an open-air museum. The former mineral railway, which once connected Meadows Shaft with other key areas, remains clearly visible and now serves as a public footpath. The layout of the tramways that transported materials within the site can still be traced.

Many structural elements of the site have survived. The 44-inch Cornish Engine House at Meadows Shaft remains intact, alongside its chimney and boiler house foundations. Nearby, the stone balance box housing also endures. The tramway route leading to the semi-circular ore bins is discernible, with their original picking grates still in place. An inclined tramway, which once conveyed ore to the crusher house, is also visible. While some foundations of the dressing machinery persist, the smelter chimney base may be located just beyond the designated reclamation area.

The site was actively worked until 1909, extracting ore from the Main Vein and Red Vein at the south-eastern boundary of the Minera Mines sett. A key component of operations was the shaft, which served both for pumping water and raising ore. The mining infrastructure was extensive, with a mineral railway established in 1851 to link Meadows Shaft and the New Brighton processing areas with all major shafts. This private railway was built to GWR gauge, allowing direct transport of coal, timber, and other materials via engine interchange. Within the site, tramways facilitated the movement of materials.

Powering the mine’s operations was Meadows Shaft, also known as City Shaft, which, at 1,220 feet, remains the deepest shaft in Clwyd. Its 44-inch Cornish Engine House, still standing to full height along with its chimney, was responsible for pumping water from the workings. The associated boiler house contained two Cornish boilers measuring 7 feet in diameter and 30 feet long. A balance box structure also survives, which counterbalanced the weight of the pump rods. In 1847, when a new company took over, a 44-inch pumping engine was installed. Additionally, a compressor engine at Meadows Shaft provided compressed air to all the main shafts, helping to ventilate the workings and power pneumatic tools, including the rock drill designed by mine manager G. F. Wynne.

By 1858, a 20-inch steam engine with a horizontal cylinder was introduced to operate the rope winder and rock crusher. Its housing, along with the boiler house, still stands beside the crusher house, northeast of the Meadows Engine House.

Initially, ore from the site was transported to smelting works in Swansea. However, in 1888, the Minera Lead Mining Co established its own processing plant at New Brighton. Workers processed slimes at washing tables within covered structures, and dressing machinery foundations remain visible in Area 3b of the site.
